Global Issues: What are they?

The IB CAS Guide states that students may look at the twenty global issues identified by World Bank economist Jean-François Rischard in his book High Noon: 20 Global Problem, 20 Years to Solve Them.

Understanding Learning Outcomes

Some of the CAS Learning Outcomes need to be dissected a bit to understand how they apply to your CAS activities. I thought I'd start with one of the more difficult ones.

• considered the ethical implications of their actions

What does that mean? And how do you show proof of it in your reflections? 

Considered means that you thought about something critically. You may have questioned yourself and your actions.
Ethical implications means the expression of or meaning behind an ethical decision.
Ethical decisions involve determining right from wrong. They may involve issues of honesty, justice, compassion, integrity, and fairness.

The IB CAS guide states: 

Ethical decisions arise in almost any CAS activity (for example, on the sports field, in musical composition, in relationships with others involved in service activities). Evidence of thinking about ethical issues can be shown in various ways, including journal entries and conversations with CAS advisers.

So as far as how you can show evidence of growth in this area, WRITE about it or TALK to me about the moments in your CAS activities when you are faced with ethical decisions, when you have to judge between right and wrong.
 
Here are some quotes that may help you in your understanding.

• An ethical person ought to do more than he's required to do and less than he's allowed to do.
• Winning is nice if you don't lose your integrity.
