Tackling Environmental Challenges at Our School: A History and International Studies Student's View

By Dark clouds

Hey there, fellow students! Today, let's dive into a topic that affects us all: chemicals, waste, and pollution issues right here at our school. It might not be something we discuss in history class, but understanding these problems is crucial for our environment and our health.

Picture this: our beautiful school campus is facing some not-so-pretty challenges. Trash piling up, chemicals being mishandled, and pollution making the air less clean, plastic bottles scattered around the campus, electronic waste piling up, and air that sometimes doesn't smell quite right. Yep, we've got our own environmental struggles that deserve attention.

Just like how history is shaped by different factors, our environmental problems have their roots too. It's often due to things like not recycling properly, old buildings causing pollution, and maybe a lack of awareness about the impact we're having. It's not just about a messy campus; it's about the bigger story of how our actions affect the environment and our health.


Now, think about this from an international studies perspective. Pollution and waste might seem local, but they're actually global issues. The pollution we create can affect other communities, and the way we deal with waste impacts the planet's health. Plus, our own school environment gets affected - it's hard to focus and learn when there's pollution around! Just like history shapes societies, these challenges are shaping our school environment. They impact how we learn, play, and even breathe. Think about it: if the air we breathe isn't clean, it's hard to focus on our studies. And let's not forget the potential health risks lurking in improper waste handling.


Just like how history has shown us that small actions can lead to big changes, the same goes for our environment. We can start by being mindful of our waste, using recycling bins and encouraging others to do the same. It's like writing a positive chapter in the story of our school's environmental journey.

History is full of movements that brought about change, and we can be part of an environmental movement too. Let's learn about eco-friendly habits, join clean-up activities, and maybe even advocate for better waste management in our school. Just like history shapes societies, these challenges are shaping our school environment. They impact how we learn, play, and even breathe. Think about it: if the air we breathe isn't clean, it's hard to focus on our studies. And let's not forget the potential health risks lurking in improper waste handling

As history and international studies enthusiasts, we know that change takes time, effort, and unity. Let's bring our passion for learning about the world to the table and make our school a cleaner, healthier place. By tackling these environmental challenges, we're not just improving our school, but also contributing to a brighter future for everyone.

Remember, every action counts, just like every event in history shapes the world we live in today. Let's create a positive impact together!💯❤️🙏

Lecture Series, Carrot and Stick Approach: LASU Department of History and International Studies and the students

  The History department is an embodiment of strategy, which according to Professor Oluwatoki, "is an instrument of policy just as war is a means to achieving political objective." Inarguably, education is expensive everywhere in the world, especially university education. What is common in universities is paying tuition fees, bills and dues. Academic conferences, webinars, seminars, and several orientating programs are important to the development of an institution.   They are important means of creating awareness about the university. Thus, you find universities, like the Lagos State University, holding academic programs, while inviting dignitaries and academic juggernauts. At faculty and department levels, several programs were held at LASU, covering a wide range of topics essential for national development.   One of the foundation departments of the Lagos State University is the department of History and International Studies. The department is inarguably...

Welcome, fellow students, to a pressing issue that affects us all: transportation. Whether we live near or far, each day poses a challenge in commuting to and from our esteemed institution. It is disheartening to witness how unfairly motorists treat us, subjecting us to unjust treatment. Moreover, the recent removal of the petroleum subsidy has further exacerbated the transportation difficulties throughout the country.

Privilege, Oppression, and Mental Health: Recognizing Our Pasts Through Our Testimonies

  SSOHIS MENTAL HEALTH "The world I inhabit and the world that inhabits me are inseparable parts of the whole that is the 'I' that I am. In this complicated society, mental health is a topic seldom broached. It would be an understatement to suggest that discussions on mental health are off-limits in my culture. We rarely talked about things like depression and anxiety when I was growing up in my traditional Yoruba home on Lagos Island. It wasn't until I sat across the desk from a former professor that I truly grasped what it meant to deal with one's feelings. When I first started having problems with my mental health, it was extremely difficult to convince anyone, including myself, that I needed help. Recognizing mental illness is the first step on a long and winding road that doesn't necessarily lead somewhere. The patriarchal nature of Yoruba society doesn't help. While women are constantly pressured to suppress their true selves for the sake of a societ...
