20. As you move into the next phase of your life, how will you try to affect change in the world regarding the issues studied in this course?

I have always been a firm believer that the key to power is through knowledge and education, thus the only way in which I can achieve observable change in the world around me is to continue studying world issues and spreading my knowledge of them to peers. Although my academic discipline does not revolve around the social sciences, I will continue to expand on my knowledge and interest in global issues and further attempt to study their implications on humanity. Additionally this course has helped me understand the seriousness of certain issues that are currently in place today (ex. world hunger, the state of the environment), which urges me to become a more socially conscious individual (donating to charity, potentially working in Africa in the future) that will "do his part" in the world. Although one person cannot make much of a difference, I hope that my actions will influence others to do good in the world.
