Abstract “Making Connections” is about helping students see the “big picture”; to understand the web of overlapping causes and effects of attitudes, beliefs, actions, behaviors, and habits that connect people and the natural world in community. With these exercises, we hope students will become more aware of how their decisions affect the lives of others; and how their school or their field of study participates in the world community. We want students to see that they have a choice: they can be effective agents for maintaining the status quo, or for change. Their actions can work for social justice, or not. This interconnectedness involves rights, responsibilities, and most of all, relationships. We hope to help users of this resource better consider the questions, “What does that have to do with me?” and “What can I do about it, anyway?”
