Halal Foods

 The problem that I am addressing is the lack of Halal foods or options at the school.  Halal foods are foods that are allowed to be eaten by the Islamic law, haram meaning forbidden are the foods disallowed by the law such as pork, pork products or animals that were dead before slaughtering. 

I would recommend adding some more Halal friendly food options at the school cafeteria because according to "What Is Halal Food ?", halal food is popular in large metropolitan cities such as New York where there is a food truck culture. Some of these food truck businesses have taken their company further by opening restaurants. It is clear that halal food's following is growing at a steady pace and getting involved could be beneficial for Hinsdale Central  and the company Quest. Not only will this be pleasing Islamic students, it will make the food seem more modern and favored to students that aren't Muslim or chose to eat halal foods. 

For the Islamic religion, Halal food is important because it is obeying god's instructions which come from their holy bible, Qu'ran. Stated by the same article, Muslims are educated to respect the animals they eat and make the slaughtering as peaceful as possible. Instead of immediately  slaughtering the animal, veins in the neck are cut so the blood can drain. This is done because Muslims are not allowed to consume any animal blood.  These rituals are extremely important to Muslims and must be followed. 

Extreme climate conditions: How Africa can adapt

 

Title: 

 Summary: In this article about how the authors think that Africa can adapt to climate change, the discussed topics on how the economy can benefit from it and what techniques can be used to stop global warming. The authors from McKinsey and Company stated that acting upon global warming was thought to boost the economy by bringing in millions of dollars. Ways that money would come in is thought to be investors and partnerships interested in the changes being made by the government as well a cost effective approaches such as techniques to adapt to global warming. Some of the methods that the article recommended was migration, irrigation systems and even soil techniques. The writers said that farmers would migrate to bigger cities to have better access to water, the benefits of this is clear. The article proves this by adding that the migration of 1 million people by 2030 has the possibility of increasing agriculture productivity by 6 percent. The rise in agriculture productivity could put more money into the economy. 

 Analysis: I agree with statements describing that doing something about global warming will benefit the economy. I believe this because, organizations or charities are usually interested in things like this as well as possibly bringing in media. I feel like this article has a really good approach, stating the issues then giving solutions that could be used.

 Discussion Questions(s): What do you think the best approach is to prevent the problem from going further?

Do you agree with the idea that this article includes?
