Huriata - YikeBike: Business/Economics

I studied an innovative product, the ‘YikeBike’, in class today! It’s a non-pedalling, fast and easy to used bike that you can fold up and carry.

It’s main advantage is being capable of travelling long distances with little to use effort and energy. You are able to sit up as if it were a moving chair (literally), it can swivel and move smoothly; and it can prevent being stolen from a thieve with its particular locks on the wheels.

Personally, I don’t like it and I wouldn’t I support it, all I could say to the person who made it is, “Kudos!”. I wouldn’t recommend it to friends or family - it all depends. And I predict it to have small sales because everyone would either have a car… or a bike, a normal one. 

SOS - Entrepreneurial Skills: Huriata

My strongest entrepreneurial skills that I have are: Creativity, independence and work-ethic.

My comment of being creative in my own way is having many ideas, to complete something or make something creatively is fun to me; It's the best way to be productive in my opinion. For this skill, I ranked myself at an 'A', the reason I gave an 'A' was because I do have a lot of ideas, and many appreciate them. More of the artistic spectrum. 

I can be very independent, depending on the situation. I can work by myself for long periods of time  and complete/ almost complete work, and I can do most things own my own given the tools. I rated myself at a 'B', meaning I may struggle from time to time and need someone to lean on.

Work-ethic really depends on my attitude. I put a lot of my time and effort into art/drawing rather than academic work. For that, I rated myself at a 'B', this is because I make poor decisions for what I should be putting work into; such as the two listed.

My weakest skill has to be self-responsibility. Meaning I can't be responsible for myself, for a lot of reasons. - 'C'

What have you been successful in this past year, 2018? - SOS - Huriata

What have you been successful in this past year, 2018?

I don’t know if I’ve done anything considered to be successful to me.I guess, my tolerance. My tolerance has never been so high before and I think that would be successful. I’ve been able to say “yes” more often, but I still know when I feel the need to say “no”.

SOS - Huriata: What is Parliament?

What is Parliament?

The Parliament is made up of two main roles to govern the country - The house of representatives and sovereign. In the House of representatives has 120 members of parliament (MP) that have roles like how taxes are spent or where it is used (schools, medical, buildings), updating laws and making laws. The role of Sovereign is to accept or sign off any new law that is made, which is done by the Governor general, Patsy Reddy, in place of the Queen. These are the roles of the Parliament to govern NZ. 

SOS: Migration Model (Tokelau+New Zealand) - Huriata

SOS - Our Small World; Youth Challenge: Huriata

Tokelau is a very, small country. After it’s loss of land/ beach, it was replaced with stonewalls - I think it may be because of the water rising in the pacific ocean, causing the space on land to shrink. The dilemma with having such a small land, is also the problem of having a smaller population. It’s estimated that there is only 1,499 people of Tokelau. And now kids are having to migrate to other countries such as NZ, Australia and America to better their education. In most cases resulting with them not coming back. The Tokelau council are trying to find ways to bring their youth, or influence them to come back to Tokelau so that the culture doesn’t die out.

SOS - Key Concepts Definition: Huriata

WALA - the key concepts for Globalisation Topic.

Two new concepts that I learnt in SOS (social studies) is:

Migrate - When animals move from one place to another during seasonal change. This means that when the season changes, or when there needs to be an immediate relocation - they move from their previous location to a new one.

Globalisation - Interacting with other countries (having influence) by organisations or companies, e.g: google, McDonald's, Facebook. It's when (other) countries are influenced by companies and organisation, so with google, it is a large company that runs it's service online! And the internet is a HUGE influence in the world.
