Introduction:
The natural and physical conditions on our globe, including the atmosphere, is changing and, in many ways, humanity is in despair.<br /> <br /> At least 2 billion people live in poverty and miserable living conditions.<br /> Not one of us homo sapiens have lived a single day without a war going on somewhere on our planet.<br /> Nuclear power plants around the world produce deadly poisonous waste that will not be secure even after thousands of years. Not to mention the terrible accidents that happened in Fukushima, Japan and Chernobyl in Ukraine.<br /> The damaging effects of global warming, climate change and the destruction of nature, to humanity are enormous. With storms, floods, droughts and even pandemics. The future threats are even bigger. <br /> Child abuse, sex trade, slavery, they still exist in our world today.<br /> <br /> Humanity is in need of solutions!<br /> <br /> Somehow, as citizens of this world, we have a responsibility. The countries whose citizens we are part of, are actors on the global stage. Their conduct and misconduct, is our conduct and misconduct. Our governments are representing us. We voted them in!<br /> <br /> Teachers? Teachers are also citizens and moreover they are preparing our future citizens. That is a huge responsibility.<br /> According to this, we need teachers that care about this world and that care for the future of humanity. We need teachers that teach our young ones about the world and its challenges.<br /> <br /> Therefore, teachers should give on more than just technical skills, they should do more than just helping young people on the way to finding a future job.<br /> Teachers should give on their love of life and their love of our planet and they should give on an attitude of caring for our planet and of caring for the next generations.<br /> Teachers should put their heart into their teaching and they need to expand their capacities all the time in finding ways to reach their students and hand over to their students: all that they understand and know and all that they deem to be of value and importance.<br /> <br /> Isabel Allende put it like this:<br /> ‘Give, give, give – what is the point of having experience, knowledge or talent if I don’t give it away? Of having stories if I don’t tell them to others? Of having wealth if I don’t share it? I don’t intend to be cremated with any of it! It is in giving that I connect with others, with the world and with the divine.’<br /> <br /> But we need to put it even sharper than this. Teachers need to take a stand. They can not stay neutral. As much as teachers can not stay neutral when he or she finds out that one youngster is bullying the other. Teachers also can not stay neutral when companies are destroying our environment and are legally allowed to do so.<br /> Teachers can also not stay neutral in a world filled with tragedies of which most of them are actually man -made atrocities.<br /> <br /> The point is that in such a world, teachers cannot stay neutral. He or she needs to find out how to understand this world and how to act in it in order to change it.<br /> <br /> There we have the topic of this task: Teacher politics and teacher ethics.
