Hello,
This week we are going to try to think up an idea and enact a way that will allow us to participate in active ecofeminism. It will be exciting to see our new found knowledge put into action, but create so many different ideas depending on how we have interpreted what ecofeminism is to us.
What I plan to tackle is government, Because I believe it can be a double edge sword. It seems based on statistics and analysis taken on countries, it finds countries with more women in office are generally more pro-environment. Not only that, but women are usually a minority in office being around 22% in Americas parliament. I feel not only would this help pass more environmentally friendly laws, but also there should be around 50% of women in parliament anyway because that is around the population of women in most countries. So, I feel this would help in the fight for more equality for every person, organism, and bit of matter. Which if we demand it and women more support it, then it is worth at least trying. Does not seem having majority of men in parliment has really worked out the best, probably having an even ying and yang of men and women truly fighting to provide the best tools to the kids in their society and world, and best support they can provide to those who need it. Overall, based on statistics, more women in power=environment is being fought harder for, as well as puts women in a more equal position of parliament power as men making it a less of a patriarchy and more of equalarchy.
I Plan on doing this by being more vocal about how more women should be in office. I plan on doing this in three ways. One, paying more attention to my government at every level and staying informed to be more aware when women are in the running and if they do speak more for how I want to live, which is with everyone only bending down to lift someone up. Which I have said before that governments job is to redistribute wealth fairly, that no matter how much you contribute to society you will be cared for and able to be alive and not just live. Hopefully, the current pandemic helps wake us up to our faults and teach us that we need to slow down and start thinking/ respecting more and doing less. Two, I plan on vocalizing this through social media and spreading awareness. Finally, I plan to start living the best life I can with the most respect for everything including and starting with myself.
Till next time,
stay powered for the people by the people.
I love that this class has drawn you to a push on more woman in politics. Politics for me has always been something I don’t understand that much and maybe it is because it is not a topic most woman are exposed to or taught. I am curious to see how more woman in political positions would effect the government and the world around us. They do say woman do balance out men so maybe they can be there to humble some prideful individuals and shed some emotions into politics. EMPATHY.
I think self reflection is important along with social media. Social media plays such a key part in our society and views on life. I think it would be very interesting to keep up with what is going on with this pandemic, how politicans react, and how elections go. With stimulus checks also being a thing, let us see how the wealth is distributed fairly; along with social wealth. I feel we have taken a step back with that step.
Everything happens for reason and let us see what all of this nonsense will shine light on.
