Global Conflict: Crisis Watch
The crisis in Ukraine is getting worse. How far will Putin go? What can the World do? Might there be other conflicts to go unnoticed?
These are serious questions that need answers sooner than later to reduce the Human and Environmental impacts of such a conflict.
With the world focused on Ukraine and how to support the 40 million people from such a threat what other severe conflicts might be overlooked? The situation the World finds itself in now with the escalation in Ukraine could be considered to be similar to the situation that lead to the genocide/ethnic cleansing that took place in the former Yugoslavia between 1992 and 1995 which overshadowed the Rwandan genocide.
Could another "Rwanda" take place because the World is so focused on Ukraine. How can these types of conflicts be prevented. Who is able to help Ukraine and other countries in similar crisis situations that are going on right now from becoming the next genocide?
Inquiry: How can the Western powers help Ukraine and stop the Russian invasion and support other conflict regions that may need help also?
Activity: Conduct a Geographic Inquiry in the crisis in Ukraine. Collect data to gain a historical perspective of the conflict. Gather information on other global crisis's. Identify which crisis may lead to a conflict similar to the Ukraine - Russia crisis. Conduct and issue analysis to help understand the crisis. Create a spatial journal to map out what is where? Why there? and help determine the Why care? (Geographic definition). Develop an action plan that may help support Ukraine and other areas that are under threat. Produce a story map to communicate results to help create a better world.
