For my Personal Project, I have chosen two Global Contexts.
1) Scientific and Technical Innovation
"Students will explore the natural world and its laws; the interaction between people and the natural world; how humans use their understanding of scientific principles; the impact of scientific and technological advances on communities and environments; the impact of environments on human activity; how humans adapt environments to their needs."
2) Globalization and Sustainability
"Students will explore the interconnectedness of human-made systems and communities; the relationship between local and global processes; how local experiences mediate the global; the opportunities and tensions provided by world interconnectedness; the impact of decision making on humankind and the environment."
Both of these contexts apply to a central idea that technology is increasingly prominent and influential in our world and in our lives. We use it for education, for healthcare, for culture, for economy - it permeates virtually every aspect of humanity, connecting us in myriad ways, and will continue to do so in the coming years and decades. Therefore, it's important to gain a basic understanding of how this technology works, primarily so that it does not simply become a passive device in our lives, but so we can continue to use to innovate and find ways to improve the communities in which we live.
