Coronavirus Visualisation – Terence Shin

While browsing around trying to find reliable and interesting websites pertaining to the Coronavirus that is currently all anyone can talk about, I came across this nifty website. I do not know if it will be updated as time goes along, but it could be an interesting discussions-starter in Food and Health, and Global Interactions units.

The Ugly Truth of Fast Fashion – Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj – Youtube/Netflix

This 30 minute rundown on the nature of the ‘fast fashion’ industry should be watched by anyone who has interest or passion about shopping, fashion, human geography, human rights, and climate change (and a lot more, of course!). It has many links with the Global Interactions section of the IBDP syllabus, as well as the Resource Consumption section. Take the time to learn the realities of stores like H&M, Zara, and Forever 21, become a more knowledgable and critical consumer, all the while learning about the industry in a humorous way.
