After seeing this crash course this really changes my view to modify my intended behavior change by being more aware about what is happening in our world today and being more cautious on things I can do to help in any way possible because I feel in our future something drastic will happen if there isn't a change and I find it interesting that we have the technology to better our future but we don't apply them fast enough to do so. In that case changing for the better of our futures is a definite start to solving this problem. Since massive change is upon us, I think all of us need change in our lives such as saving as much resources as we can such as the economy, energy, and environment. And when I think about this, first thing that comes to mind is "recycle" that is one of the most important things to me and it is something I do everyday and try to help as much as I can. If you think about it, it is not hard at all to recycle, all you have to do after you are done with something that you know is something you can be useful, just recycle it, also, you can make some extra cash by doing so. Another big thing about this is saving our energy, in our society, it seems like energy is not being used wisely, and I feel people who have a lot of money and are very wealthy they do not care about saving for the future and just because they have lots of it, they just use it as they please, and with me I try to save as much energy as possible because you never know when that time will come when we are going to need materials after seeing all these drastic times happening all over the world such as New Orleans, Haiti, and even the 911 incident. I just feel people have to be more aware of certain situations and something I learned by taking this crash course.
With the population growing over time, it is beginning to be more important on how we live our lives to better our future. The way I look at it is that there is just so much this earth we live on can take, and there are just so much material that have that could last us forever, and to me, I feel one day no matter what that there will be no more materials left for mankind, but I feel it is up to us as human beings to figure out how long we want our earth to live, I am not saying that this is going to happen soon, I am just saying being prepared for whatever happens is better, especially for generations to come, so our future families can live as good as all of us did. With having to do deal with money, I thought fractional reverse banking was very interesting in how the way it works. With the whole depositing money and having it loaned out to make more money, this really made me learn something, I thought it was weird that if everyone wanted to take out there own money at the same time, it could not be possible because the bank wouldn't have the money because they are allowed to loan out 90% of what you put in. Knowing that, that brings me to believe that, Is my money really safe in the bank? As of right now, yes it is but one day this could be a problem.
This brings up the whole society not saving money towards our future and leading to bankruptcy. With dept, savings, assets, demographics, peak oil, and climate change any one of these can prove economically challenging. I thought it was interesting on the percentage of savings people save all over the world, and in the United States, I thought it was pretty low with less than 10% was saved and in China about 30% was saved and not spent. I believe saving whatever you have, whether it is money, energy, reused materials is always a good idea because you will never know when you will need more of it. I remember when I was 17 years old for a whole year until I was 18 I saved up spare change and put it in this big water jug and then cracked it open because I needed the money for something very important and what came out of it was over 1000 dollars of basically change that I could gather up everyday, I really thought that was amazing. Although after I saved, I never ended up saving like that again, but after taking this crash course I remembered the importance of saving and I want to start doing this again.
After taking this crash course I feel what we should do is entirely up to us. Anyone can talk about what as individuals we can do to help ourselves and our futures as human beings, but it is better to take action for the better. taking this course made me realize a lot of things, and makes me want to better myself as a person to be successful and be more aware about different things, and also help as much as I can and find others that will also do the same.
