Integration of Education for Sustainable Development to Statistics

Taking a rest after the Tree Growing Fest

The advancement in the science and the development of new technologies is inevitable. Brought by miniaturization and automations, our world is busy changing while progressing. Less we know that our world is sick and is tired of abrupt change and surprisingly, we are being asked by nature to pay back. Natural disasters such as typhoons, melting of icecaps, climate changes, floods, and earthquakes are only some of unavoidable phenomena. We can’t avoid those disasters but we can prevent them from coming back.

            Although it is not bad to be developed and to progress, but we are just reminded by these disasters to take good care of our planet as we progress as shown by industrialization, commercialization, computerizations and globalization. There is also an issue of poverty brought by so many factors. If we will not continue to educate each other, many will die because of hunger. This is shown by the data in so many studies utilizing statistics and thru technology these data are being disseminated in the internet around the globe.

            The advancement in the warfare and ammunition of different countries around the world is another thing that must be considered also in education for sustainable development. According to data provided with the use of statistics, these weapons can destroy us as well as other creatures and living things. If we will not spread the importance of peace and serenity, we will surely destroy this planet with these weapons.

            Meaning, it is not enough to be advanced in technology and to be progressive. We should have also what we call a social responsibility. We must help other people to progress and we should not let them die in poverty. We should not allow our co-resident in this planet to die under the exploding nuclear bombs. We could unite to keep peace around this globe. Those people who are poor and severely mistreated by the society must have shelter and food as their basic necessities. If we talk about peace this include the peace within and outside ourselves. I know you cannot have peace if you are seeing others who suffer because of war, oppressions, and poverty.

            Using statistics, data about the ill effects of advancements and development are presented and tabulated. Using also statistics, some ways and remedies to address the pre-mentioned problems are also presented. What are lacking are our actions to this issues and concerns. So let us use the data provide for us by using statistics and let us share our lives to everyone by educating them to live sustainably and let’s do our part!
