I need to create a interest/advocacy group, Homework help?

Find something you're interested in, then find a problem or issues in that interest. Then, find a way to raise money, make people more aware, and actually volunteer some time to fix the problem.

Examples:

Animals -----> Problem: cats and dogs don't get spayed or neutered; they have puppies and kittens that aren't wanted or taken care of; too many animals go to shelters or get put to sleep.

Solution: Start a group to raise awareness about getting animals spayed and neutered. Raise money and contact your local humane society/vet/pet store to have a Spay/Neuter day where people can bring their animals in to get "fixed" at a lower cost. Write letters to your loca, state and federal government asking them to fund more of these kinds of programs and to help humane societies deal with overpopulated pets.

Graffiti ------> Problem: too many people put their graffiti art in illegal places, making people angry and costing the city or building owners money to clean up. However, graffiti is still a great art form.

Solution: Raise awareness about how bad graffitti really messes up a town and costs alot of money, but good graffiti can be fantastic art and has been featured in famous art shows. Collect money by asking your school, local government, local art foundations, etc for donations. Build a "tagging wall" where good graffiti (no gang related) is allowed and encouraged. Hold a graffitti art show to let people see what good graffiti art looks like.

Good luck!

Jane Goodall Questions..... Please Help!!!?

Jane Goodall Questions..... Please Help!!!?

Early life and education

Jane Goodall was born in London, England in 1934. As a child she was given a lifelike chimpanzee toy named Jubilee by her father. Goodall was not very interested in animals until her father brought her the stuffed animal. Today, the toy still sits on her dresser in London. After the divorce of her parents when Goodall was 12 years old, she moved with her mother to Bournemouth, England.

Goodall's interest in animals prompted notable anthropologist Louis Leakey to hire her as his assistant and secretary. He invited her to accompany him and his wife, Mary Leakey, to dig at Olduvai Gorge in eastern Africa. He asked Goodall to study the chimpanzees of Gombe Stream National Park (then known as 'Gombe Stream Chimpanzee Reserve'). She arrived at Gombe accompanied by her mother in July 1960. Leakey arranged for her to return to the United Kingdom where she earned a doctorate in ethology from Darwin College, the University of Cambridge in 1964. Along with Dian Fossey, famous for living with gorillas, and Biruté Galdikas, who advanced studies in orangutans, Goodall was one of three women dubbed "Leakey's Angels".

Career in wild primate research

Orphaned by poachers, young chimpanzees are raised by volunteers and researchers at the Tchimpounga Sanctuary (part of the Jane Goodall Institute) in the Republic of the Congo.

Goodall is best known for her study of chimpanzee social and family life. She began studying the Kasakela chimpanzee community in Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania in 1960.[1] In 1977, Goodall established the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI), which supports the Gombe research, and she is a global leader in the effort to protect chimpanzees and their habitats. With nineteen offices around the world, the JGI is widely recognized for innovative, community-centered conservation and development programs in Africa and a global youth program, Roots & Shoots, which currently has over 10,000 groups in over 100 countries. Today, Goodall devotes virtually all of her time to advocacy on behalf of chimpanzees and the environment, traveling nearly 300 days a year.[2] Goodall is also a board member for the world's largest chimpanzee sanctuary outside of Africa, Save the Chimps in Fort Pierce, Florida.

Goodall was instrumental in the study of social learning, primate cognition, thinking and culture in wild chimpanzees, their differentiation from the bonobo, and the inclusion of both chimpanzee species, and the gorilla, as Hominids.

One of Goodall's major break-throughs in the field of primatology was the discovery of tool-making among chimpanzees during her study. Though many animals had been clearly observed using 'tools', previously, only humans were thought to make tools, and tool-making was considered the defining difference between humans and other animals. This discovery convinced several scientists to reconsider their definition of being human.[3]

Goodall also set herself apart from the traditional conventions of the time by naming the animals in her studies of primates, instead of assigning each a number. Numbering was a nearly universal practice at the time, and thought to be important in the removal of one's self from the potential for emotional attachment to the subject being studied. Among those that Goodall named during her years in Gombe were:

* David Greybeard, a grey-chinned male who first warmed up to Goodall.[4]

* Goliath, a friend of David Greybeard, originally the alpha male named for his bold nature.

* Mike, who through his cunning and improvisation displaced Goliath as the alpha male.

* Humphrey, a big, strong, bullysome male.

* Gigi, a large, sterile female who delighted in being the "aunt" of any young chimps or humans.

* Mr. McGregor, a belligerent older male.

* Flo, a motherly, high-ranking female with a bulbous nose and ragged ears, and her children, Figan, Faben, Fifi, and Flint.[5][6]

* Frodo, Fifi's second eldest child, an aggressive male who would frequently attack Jane and who once killed and began to eat a human infant.[7]

Jane Goodall's involvement in tropical forests and conservation has led her to be actively involved in a number of environmental issues, and to found the Roots & Shoots youth group. She has also endorsed the Forests Now Declaration, calling for new market based mechanisms to protect tropical forests. She is a patron of the Optimum Population Trust.

Some primatologists have suggested flaws in Goodall's methodology which may call into question the validity of her observations. Goodall used unconventional practices in her study, for example, naming individuals instead of numbering them[clarification needed]. At the time numbering was used to prevent emotional attachment and loss of objectivity. Many standard methods are aimed at helping observers to avoid interference and the use of feeding stations to attract Gombe chimpanzees is, in particular, thought by some to have altered nor
