Rokhiya / Genre Infographic

• My info-graphic is about how gender are represented in ice skating. Therefor we can see which is these two genders are dominant in this leisure activity. 
• I found out that women are more likely to be champions and glamorous on ice skating. While men see ice skating as a competition not a way to have fun, relax and enjoy yourself. 
• I think it was, all the good attention should be on women since they are the one who work harder than men into being creative and entertaining the crowd.

Climate Advocates See Need for Continued Activism

My article is about the climate which is kind of related to my neighborhood. In the article, they are elaborating how the Paris Agreement might change things around about global warming.

The countries part of this agreement have to try something to save the planet. And this agreement might work. There are so many activities the countries part of the agreement can't do starting from now on because of the rules put in order to reduce global warming. Lots of money is spent over the burning of fossil fuels even though it is not good for our health and planet. 

This agreement might change the rate of global warming; reducing it so it won't affect our future descendent as much as we thought it will. The protesters finally achieved their goals by making the super powers all-around the world listening to them.

I think reading this article did not really change much about how i feel bout the climate. I knew about global warming and the climate swings since almost 2 years now. It is making me happy knowing that countries are finally doing something good about it.

My neighborhood

My neighborhood 

https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?hl=en&hl=en&authuser=0&authuser=0&mid=zn9bgorGtizo.k0AjR3SYkMYE

I choose the places I go to the most or the places I enjoyed the most. For instance, Central Park shows really marked my life because I got to see One Direction for the second time without really paying for it. It shows that around my neighborhood you can have fun without costing you money which is pretty cool.

The difference is that mine locations are mainly in the Bronx, while my partner's are in Manhattan. The similarities are we both like to go to clothing shops. Her neighborhood is cheap as her.

Where you spend your time represent who you are.
