#7 Infographic: Pandemics

▶️ The Covid-19 pandemic isn’t humanity’s first pandemic, nor is it probably the last. Read this infographic for more information about the nature and history of pandemics.

❗️ Monday is for discussions and debates! Today we will have a debate on Afandi English Chat (@afandi_english_chat) from 9 to 10pm (or longer if you can’t stop).

The question for today: Are vaccines useful in the fight against pandemics?

How do I know my team? Just roll the Telegram dice and off you go! 🎲

🎲 Even numbers (2, 4, 6) = Vaccines are useful

🎲 Uneven numbers (1, 3, 5) = Vaccines are not useful

❗️ Do not just debate with your own opinion but use the dice. That makes the debate less emotional. We don’t want any fighting!

#8 Infographic: Obesity

▶️ We’re living in a fat world. Obesity (=being extremely fat) has become a bigger problem – literally – than the opposite problem of malnutrition (=not having enough to eat). Rich countries used to have more obese people but nowadays the developing world (=developing countries) is catching up (=reaching the same point), making obesity a global issue.

❗️ Monday is for discussions and debates! Today we will have a discussion on Afandi English Chat (@afandi_english_chat).

The discussion questions are:
1️⃣ Do you know any obese people? What can you tell us about them?
2️⃣ Are there many obese people in your country? What makes them obese?
3️⃣ What could be done to reduce the number of obese people?

#5 Know Your World: If the world were 100 people

▶️ The world is unfair because people are unequal. We all know that. But it’s good to remind yourself of this reality sometimes, and visualisations like this infographic and video are really good for that.

❗️Here’s an updated but less amazingly animated video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXykDFy9HhQ

#12 Know Your World: The true size of Africa

▶️ Africa is often poorly understood. Some people think it’s one country, some people think it’s not so big and, worst of all, some people think that this place doesn’t matter much. Meanwhile Asia is ageing and Africa is the youngest and may soon become the most dynamic (=active, developing fast) continent.

#24 Know Your World: The real meanings of country names

▶️ The names of foreign countries often sound unique and exotic (=strange in an interesting way, from a faraway place) to our ears. They often have a really ordinary or strange meaning. Someone made a world map with the literal meanings (=word-for-word meaning) of every country name.

#32 Know Your World: The illusion of choice

▶️ Our supermarkets are full of colourful products. We have a dazzling (=very impressive) choice. Or do we? Yes and no. Most products are actually made by the same few companies. They hide behind different brands, grab shelf space, control prices, advertise heavily, buy up competitors and even make the cheaper no-name products just to keep other companies out.

Europe and America are very much in the hands of these big companies and they’re doing everything to get bigger in other parts of the world, too.
