WEEK 1- INTRODUCTION TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT (TO BE GRADED)

 UNGS 1201 WEEK 1 ( TO BE GRADED )

INTRODUCTION TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

    Being introduced to a new concept that I was not too concerned about in the past, sustainable development concepts opened my eyes on how big of a problem we had in this world and the solutions people are working at could not succeed because of this one factor, people. I was able to see more of this factor in my Introduction to Communication class. It was not suprising when I found out how big of the difference in the size of Earth compared to Saturn. This tiny little dust (compared to Saturn) is loaded with creatures with egoism bigger than the whole universe. I can confirm my own view when I got group assignments from my classes. Almost in every group, I could find someone who does not care about the importance of doing the group project together. If in this small project people can't be one to make the project a success, what do we dreaming about to make the sustainable development successful? This situation really burnt me inside that I started to try making all my group projects to realize their responsibilities and set aside their egos so that we all can be under the same goal; get good marks for project and we all can apply the spirit of togetherness not only in university assessment but also later when we go outside to face the real life in career.

WEEK 8- CHALLENGES TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

 UNGS 1201 WEEK 8 CHALLENGES TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT     Easy to be said but not to be done. Everything has their own challenges to be faced before we succeed. Same goes to the SDGs either economically, environmentally or within society. For the economy part, I personally think that not everything should be relied on the government to do for me. So, I started to apply the concept of reusing products not only at home but also outside such as workplace. In my opinion it should start from the littlest thing we do in our daily. For instance, reusing soap bottle as flower pot not only reducing the amount of trash to be recycled that require costs but also good for environment by reducing plastic wastes. I apply this at home and also at the school I'm teaching. The more I look into the benefit of 3R ( reuse, reduce, recycle), the more I am fascinated by imagining how beautiful the world could be if everyone start to do these.

WEEK 3- ISLAM AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT (TO BE GRADED)

UNGS 1201 WEEK 3 ( TO BE GRADED) ISLAM & SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT     Sustainability is not a new concept in Islam. But, how ignorance we are to not really realize about this? Al- Qur'an and Hadith already stated so much regarding the concept of sustainability. In previous class, I got to know how actually sustainable development concepts can be apply from the slightest of our daily routines as a Muslim. Islam focused on 3 points of sustainability for society, environment and also economy. From my previous notes, I have pointed a lot on togetherness where Islam already told us the concepts by strengthening brotherhood between us and being in a team to work for each others benefit with the concept of shura as everyone have different minds and leaded by someone who can bring everyone towards one goal ( caliphs). For environmental sustainability, I got to preview how much waste I made all my life from just letting the water runs from the faucet every time I take ablution ( wud...

WEEK 7- ROLES OF UNIVERSITIES ON SD

UNGS 1201 WEEK 7 ROLES OF UNIVERSITIES ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT      Focusing on sustainable development as a subject to be learned in university is a good step taken. In this institution, the goals are even involve in the visions and missions. It is a bit upsetting that I cannot feel this surrounding fully due to the pandemic but IIUM always prepared the best for the students. As what I can see in student organizations, sustainable developing are still be worked on. For instance, as the secretariat of Communication students myself, we provide as useful platform as possible for the students in need and others. Those who may be having financial problems could be assisted and helped through the platform we provided. I can confirm that this way helped many students from the responses we got when we spread some news and info.
