Current Events - Cook Island Change Name

This article is about the Cook Islands wanting to change their name because of the fact that their name is a reference to Captain Cook (the founder of the Islands) and they don't like it. The Cook Island Government are trying their best to change the name. This story happened on the 3rd of March. I think that it is good for them to speak on what they believe is best for their Islands. I agree with them on changing the name because it is their country, not Captain Cook's.

Change - Tokelau

One of the changes in Tokelau is that the weather is changing due to a climate change. It starts to get hot then the ice in the ocean starts to melt which allows the level of the sea to start rising. When this happens it allows storms and rain to appear. Now in Tokelau their beaches and stuff have been taken over and they have to build houses other places now. I think that this change is not good because it is making the Tokelauans do lots of work to survive.

Another change is the role change in Tokelau. In Tokelau the women are now allowed to attend council meetings. I think that this change was a good decision to make because it portrays equality and it shows that they allow women to do what they want and what is right.

Social Studies - 2 Concepts

In Social Studies we learnt about 7 different concepts and the different meanings of these concepts.
Here are 2 of them.

The first concept I would like to define is Change. Change means to make something different or become different. It could refer to change in cultural things, change in schools or change in behaviour. For example, today in school we use netbooks to do our learning and back in the olden days they used book and pen.

The second concept I would like to define is Globalisation. The definition of globalisation is businesses or organisations that are in more than just a few countries. It also refers to ways that different countries can connect eg. wifi.
