Greens target foreign land buyers bottling NZ water in review of Overseas Investment Act

I definitely agree that foreign land owners should not be allowed to

sell New Zealand bottled water overseas. Why? Because foreign

land buyers are extracting New Zealand's natural resources(water)

for the benefit of earning money.It doesn’t do any good for New

Zealand citizens except wasting it on other countries. So I simply

agree with the green party, they’ve made many reasonable reasons

for why foreign land buyers should not sell bottled water overseas.

Including Marama davidson who quoted "We need to ensure that we

are not giving away this resource to international corporations to reap

profits from at the expense of New Zealand's best interests," as well as

"Water should not be for sale to the highest bidder. Changing the law

is a key step towards protecting it for the generations ahead," Greens

co leader Marama davidson said.

Cybersmart Assessment

Cybersmart

1. What it means to be cybersmart and why is it important

Cybersmart means being safe online. It’s very crucial to be
cybersmart because you could come across some cyberbully,
virus or hacker that could affect you in some way.

2.Two things you learnt about being cybersmart and how you
could apply it to your own life

Two things I have learnt about being cyber smart is double
checking what I write before pressing the send button and
how being cybersmart could affect my future. For example,
if I choose to do the wrong thing it could affect me from having
a job. Since all they know of me was all the bad things I did online.
Applying this to my life would mean not to comment or post bad

things about someone.

Perspective on banning plastic bags

Today in Social studies, I read an article about Simon bridges 

thinking the banning of plastic bags is a big distraction and 

won't make any difference. 

I definitely agree that it is a big distraction plus a waste of time.

Supermarkets are already making a difference by putting a price

to buying plastic bags and by banning it won't make that much

of a difference. It also makes more issues for the prime minister

while she already has enough on her shoulders. 

It will have an impact for New Zealanders because they'd have 

to buy Recycles bags for when they go shopping and this is a 

big impact because plastic bags are what most stores use in New

Zealand on an everyday basis.  This applies to Jacinda because 

every problem with the banning of plastic bags, she would have 

to deal with it. Even when she has a baby who is only a couple 

months old. 

Survivor BLOG Reflections

 

Survivor BLOG Reflections

What problems did you face? 

• Wondering how we would survive
• Making peace with new survivors on the island
• Thinking about all the solutions for our problems and seeing which one was best
• How we were going to respond to the pirates

How did you solve problems? 

• Debating on what we thought was best to survive 

Who made the decisions?

• Everyone in the group

Was their one person who made most of the decisions? If so why?

• Yes, because with one person in charge of the decisions then it wouldn't be much harder for the group. Since everyone might disagree with one another. 

How did you decide on who would be the leader?

• We thought about who can care for our well-beings, is kind and thoughtful to others and who knows best about surviving on the island. 

Why did we complete this task?

• To discuss with one another about all the decisions and it gives an example about our next subject, which is to do with the government. For example, being on an island means caring for one another, communicating, finding ways to survive and making sure everyone is fed. While being a government also means caring for your people and seeing which decisions are best for the country. As you can see, they both have some kind of connection with each other.
