In the Nata Village Blog “Nata River Flows” what matters the most is that water has finally begun to fill that Nata River because it is providing water to a community and nourishing plants and trees along the river. In this blog, it explains that daily rainstorms are finally refilling the Nata River, which runs through the Nata Village in Africa. This matters to me because I think it is important that a village has a water source, and it is extra special that it is natural source. This blog matters to the community because it’s promoting how important water is. If the people in the Nata village are barley getting by with very little water, then our community should be more aware of saving our water and appreciating it more. This blog matters to the world because it is telling about the climate issues around the globe. The Nata village is suffering from an intense drought, along with many other areas. This should concern the world and encourage them to start saving the environment. If everybody cared about there little river as much as the Nata village does, then the world would be a better place and appreciate more natural things instead of wasting them. All in all what matters the most in the blog “Nata River Flows” is that the water has finally begun to fill the Nata River because it is providing water to the community and nourishing the varies plants surrounding the river.

In the YouTube video, what matters the most is reversing the predicted statistics for our future because our generation is headed down the wrong path. In the video it explains how negative our predicted future is. It was saying that our family would be a second priority and money would be a first. But the message of the video was that if you reverse the statistics, it would change to our life goal. Money would be a second priority and family would be our first. This matters to me because its motivating me to change my ways so that in my future I’m not only focused on materialistic items. When I'm older, I don’t want to always be at work and missing my children’s soccer games and school plays. I want to be there for my family. I don’t want to always be things. I want all my pride and joy to be dedicated to my family. This article matters to the community because its also encouraging others to stop focusing on materialistic items and their jobs and focus on their families because that’s what really matters in life. If the community changed this s it would spread the word and encourage others. This video matters to the world because it’s letting our generation know what people expect our reputation will be like in the future. It’s a warning video saying that there is a solution to stop the way we might become. Our world needs to apply this message so that we are not destroying our love for one another and replacing it with the love for money and materials. Overall what matters the most in this video is reversing the predicted statistics of what our reputation will be like in the future.
