<p>So, in the act 6 part, I was teaching little kids especially the little girls about english. I think the thing that I already teach them will be very useful for them because english is an important subject if we want to be successful. Their value will increase since their knowledge is wider than the one that never had an actual english lesson. This way, they won't be treat as worthless person.

<p>In that article it says that violence is not inventible, everyone must end it because it's only bad for the physic but also it also not good for their mental. they said that protecting women is also part of the human rights. To be able to do that Secretary ban said that "<em>States can and must provide legal aid, increase police capacity, extend the reach of protection plans and bring to justice perpetrators"</em></p>Act-6: Help empower one girl or woman with better access to education or economic opportunity.tag:www.urgentevoke.com,2013-03-10:4871302:BlogPost:2517102013-03-10T14:00:01.000Zrafi pratomohttp://www.urgentevoke.com/profile/rafipratomo692

<p>This past few days we were learning about alternative currency. Basically, alternative currency means that we can only use the money in a certain place. Before this method was exist, there's a same method as this one called barter. Using this method we can trade others people's goods. For example you want a laptop from Mr. B, and Mr. A want to have 10 of your chicken. After both of you reach an agreement finally you can trade.

<p>This past few days we were learning about alternative currency. Basically, alternative currency means that we can only use the money in a certain place. Before this method was exist, there's a same method as this one called barter. Using this method we can trade others people's goods. For example you want a laptop from Mr. B, and Mr. A want to have 10 of your chicken. After both of you reach an agreement finally you can trade. The only disadvantages to this method is that we need to carry all the way ours good to be trade by other people. However, these day barter is not that popular anymore to fight poverty. There's a method called alternative currency. that will be a good idea for a small community to end their poverty. Below this is the Pros and Cons of the alternatives currency.</p>
<p>Pros:</p>
<p>There's a lot of good thing that come from alternative currency. This is a good method for a small town because then money value won't change that much. For example, if there is a change of value in the US, it won't affect this community that much since their currency don't depends on other country's value. The second example is it will decrease unemployment. since the money only circulate in that area they will have a bigger chance to get a job. Finally, Local people will buy their goods that’s produce by the local community. This happen because, for example we are from town A that use alternative currency. Other product can't be sell in town A because their currency is different than other country.</p>
<p>Cons:</p>
<p>For this Part, I think there's not really much disadvantages for the user. The first example is that We can't use the local money to the outside of the community. This is not really good for the user because they need to exchange their local money to the destination country's money.</p>
<p>Last class, I learned that birth affect the opportunity that you can get in life. For example, in english class we were suppose to line up based on our ages. Then each ones of us need to take a seat that already have either privilege or money on our chair. I think this is unfair, because using the age the oldest could have more opportunities to get a better one than the younger ones. In the end I get a privilege. The task is that we mustn't have that same thing like we have from the start. There's also a job for us if we want to get more money to buy other privilege. As time goes by the value of job starts to gets higher, the teacher said that whoever has the most privilege wins. So, our team try to get that opportunity to wins (since our privilege is less than the group). In the end our group lose because we're too late to chose who wants to sang the barney's song. From that activity The first thing that I learned is, alternative currency could help small community, since the money only circulate in that certain community and can't be used outside that community. In this case the money only valid inside our english class. Also I learned that Alternative currency is stable. For example If there's a change of value in money everywhere, the community won't really get affected by that because they use their own currency.</p>Learn 5- What breakthrough solution will change the future of money forever?tag:www.urgentevoke.com,2013-02-14:4871302:BlogPost:2500962013-02-14T15:33:50.000Zrafi pratomohttp://www.urgentevoke.com/profile/rafipratomo692
<p>In this world that we live in, we always need something to survive. We as a human being can't have everything in our earth by ourself or monopolize it. We need to share or trade our resources that we have to people that don't have it, for example that person lacks of something but we have that person needs it so we can trade it.

We need to share or trade our resources that we have to people that don't have it, for example that person lacks of something but we have that person needs it so we can trade it. However as time goes by, we can't always carry our resources everywhere to be trade. The solution regarding this solution is a money. Money is a trading tools. There's 2 type of money, the paper one and the coins one. This past few years coin is not very common for people because it's not really efficient. Also, using the paper one it's not really good for the environment because we make it from paper. Therefore, the most efficient way is to use the electronic one. This method actually already exist but only few people use this method. Using Electronic money we can transfer the amount of money that we need to pay something we need. We can put the electronic money in our portable electronic devices that we usually bring it to our daily lives, such as, Phone, Laptop, etc. Despite that is very portable and useful, Electronic money is somehow advantaging the hackers. They can just hack our money and take every pieces of money we have from it. The solution is that we need to prevent that from happening. If there's no more hackers I think that electronic money is very useful than the older style which is the paper one and the coins. </p>Act-4: Make an alliance with a water visionary.tag:www.urgentevoke.com,2013-02-03:4871302:BlogPost:2492752013-02-03T15:26:24.000Zrafi pratomohttp://www.urgentevoke.com/profile/rafipratomo692

For example, if this problem happen poor people will do everything to keep themselves and their family survive, Even if they need to kill rich people to get access to clean water. Using that way people will realized that water is one of the biggest thing that they need to protect, and they will stop wasting water for unnecessary thing. I think this is a good idea because people will scared if they know the real facts about how much water left that can be categorized as clean and healthy.</p>Learn 4- Who has the most creative idea for solving the water crisis?tag:www.urgentevoke.com,2013-02-03:4871302:BlogPost:2491292013-02-03T14:10:22.000Zrafi pratomohttp://www.urgentevoke.com/profile/rafipratomo692

<p>So to increase food security starting a home garden I think it's a good idea because, when there's a disaster or something that can affect you can just eat something from your own garden. To start a home garden you don't really need a big area. the only thing you need is the seed that most likely will grow in your area. Maybe you could help other people by growing different crops so in the ends you can just share what you get and get a better quality and quantity.</p>
