Global Goal 16 Wiki

The UN website for Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions
This wikia is a project made by us, for the exhibition about Global Goal no.16, Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions. It is a bilingual website. This website is filled with information that connects to the targets that we are focusing on. It is special because the language we are using is understandable by primary pupils and professors. We hope this website makes you feel a surge of passion on solving the problems we described in this website. Thank you all for coming to this exhibition.

Central Idea
Exploring needs connected to the UN global goals can promote problem solving.

Lines of Inquiry
What corruption is. (Form)

How corruption affects society. (Causation)

Ways to stop corruption. (Responsibility)

Different ways violence affects people. (Change)

Ways to stop violence all across the world. (Responsibility)

How we created our lines of inquiry
What we did was not hard. It was what we wanted to know. How did we decide what we wanted to know? We looked for topics we wanted to know. If we don't know what an apple is, how can we possibly find out the taste of apple. When we know what an apple is, we can connect it to the world. Are apples important in the world? If apples are poisonous and causing trouble, we need to find ways to solve the problem. Just think step by step: what you want to know, and who, what, when, where, why, and how.

Corruption
Corruption is the misuse of public power for private gain. Here is an example: Jeff went to Disneyland®. He wanted to play the space mountain game. But the line was really long. So he went up to the gatekeeper Banana. He offered her his watch so that he could jump the line. The Special Banana accepted his watch and let him through. Both of them committed an act of corruption, which was illegal in many places including Hong Kong.

The four key elements (4 As) form corruption. If anyone acts suspicious, but you have no clue, if the case has the four elements on it, you can tell ICAC about it.

About Corruption
Corruption makes governments very easy to collapse, businesses hard to grow, and societies nearly impossible to produce true democracy. Corruption also threatens sustainable economic development, values and justice, makes our society weaker, and endangers the rule of law. A culture of corruption makes people spend most of their efforts on cheating other than their products or services. The costs of products and services are always much higher than what they seem to be. We hope to stop corruption however much it takes. It's not fair to anyone, so we hope you all help us.

Violence
Violence. People are fighting each other. But is it more than just that? Please read these articles.

How Can We Help?

How can we stop corruption?
Promoting the ICAC and anti-corruption can help, but we need to take other actions. We need to educate young kids about moral values. We are doing this right now. A department of ICAC has been doing the same for years. When ICAC was founded, Hong Kong had corruption everywhere. But thanks to ICAC's hard work and educating, Hong Kong has become one of the least corrupt places on earth. We set an example, showing that this is possible.

We need to promote a transparent government. To produce a transparent government, we need to have fair elections of legislative representatives. We need to have laws to demand government officials to disclose their income and properties.

We need to have strict laws on corruption. We also need strong institutions to enforce the laws.

We can build partnerships all over the world. ICAC can share her experiences to other societies that have more corruption problems.

How Can we Achieve peace and justice?
Here is an example of achieving peace, and ending violence. North and South Korea were having tight tensions earlier, like missile tests. Read Full Article:
