As we celebrate the United Nations Month, with the theme; “End racism. Build peace.”. We, Rendel Dave E. Quimba and Jerica A. Rivera from the Grade 12 – Xenon STEM Strand, is proud to present to you our chosen outfit, paying tribute to one of the members of the United Nations. From the land of the kangaroos and the home of the everlasting emus, Australia. A traditional outfit with a bit of touch from modernity. Rich with an abundance of culture and history, truly a wonderful place.
The outfit we have chosen is heavily inspired from the many tribes that are scattered all across Australia. These tribes had lived in that country for many years and helped it made what it is today. We have chosen this country because we wanted to expound our knowledge of their rich culture and their history.
As we know Australia is one of the many countries that were colonized by the British Empire, with the intention of settlement, not conquest. Like the many countries they settled in, Australia suffered heavy explicit and implicit racial discrimination towards its indigenous tribes that inhabits the country during those times. The English settlers drove out the indigenous Australians out from their settlements and made them live through harsh situations, from robbing them of their natural resources to disregarding their culture, the thing that made them who they are. These events cause many conflicts all across the country. As years go by a bill was signed and their independence was offered. These are the experiences of the many tribes that we tried to compliment together into one outfit.
Australia today is very different from what it was back then. There are no longer conflicts, people are enjoying their time staying in such a wondrous place and people laughing together. This is the Australia that we are woken to a peaceful country where everybody is free and equal. Racism is not that much of a thing to that country, well except for America but, that’s a story for another time. With many laws that are signed and applied, the English men that once ruled their land and the indigenous tribes now co-exist and they both aim to improve Australia’s diverse culture.
So, racism is something that makes other people disregard and discriminate, not only the person but their entire culture. It leads to many conflicts and suffering not only to one side but also to the other. As this day pass let’s remember that the theme “End Racism. Build Peace”, is not only a thing for today, it’s a short phrase that we must always remember as we face this ever growing world. Where we walk and work together with many races and live around those people. The world is not just about you and your people, its there so that all of us can exist with one another and have peace in our time. Peace is built when there are no people and cultures that are oppressed, disregarded and discriminated.

The 2022 theme for the International Day of Peace is “End racism. Build peace.” We, Franchette Valeska Ayunan and Rickcell Guiral from the Grade 12-Titanium STEM strand, are pleased to introduce China as the nation we have selected for this project. East Asia includes the nation of China. Peace is one of its key goals, and it is one of the UN's founding members.The traditional Chinese tang suit is defined by the male wearer's inner and outer layers. The unfolded collar shape of a mandarin jacket with a high mandarin collar typically reaches 2-4 inches up the neck. This constitutes the topmost layer. A robe called a Changshan normally makes up the inner layer. For women, hanfu is the traditional clothing in China. The Chinese word for match or embellishment is pei, which is how the decorations are referred to. Our social standing increased with the number of decorations we wore. We donned headdresses in addition to our hanfu. One-piece dresses, jackets with skirts, and jackets with pants are the three different styles of Hanfu. The most common outfit for us women is a jacket with a skirt. Our attire was made of silk and cotton. Silk is the preferred fabric for modern Tang suits and Hanfus because it represents Chinese elegance and humility. Silk is the most well-known cloth from China and is a silky, sumptuous fabric. Therefore, wearing it is a representation of Chinese culture.
In today's world, we face numerous challenges. Racism or discrimination is one of them. Racism is the irrational idea that a certain race has unique cultural characteristics conferred by hereditary elements that make certain races intrinsically superior to others and give them the right to exploit the superior races. When we discuss racism honestly, it becomes clear how absurd and unthinkable such a concept is. However, racism is so ingrained in our minds and subconscious that we have long submitted to such repulsive notions. Nobody deliberately chooses to be a certain race, including black, white, dark, or fair. There is nothing that should make us feel guilty about the fact that God created us. Making fun of somebody based on their ethnicity or skin tone is foolish and cruel.
Humanity ought to unite to face our shared problems rather than attack one another on the battlefield. We must take advantage of this period of increased awareness to think about how to advance meaningfully, and we must keep going until everyone has access to equal rights, social justice, and medical care. But more than just putting down weapons is required to achieve lasting peace. It is necessary to build a society where everyone feels they can thrive. It entails establishing a society in which everyone is treated fairly, regardless of race.
Each member of our human family has an intrinsic dignity that must be honored. In order to support them as change agents, we must magnify the voices of people who are excluded and marginalized and pay attention to their needs and goals. Above all, partnership and solidarity must be founded on listening; on asking how we can be allies without assuming we know; and on elevating the voice of the voiceless by fighting for spaces where they can be heard. We declare our allegiance, show our support, and state that we are listening with humility and empathy. As we celebrate the International Day of Peace, with the theme of "End racism. Build peace." We invite you to join the efforts of the United Nations as we work towards a world free of racism and racial discrimination. A world where compassion and empathy overcome suspicion and hatred. A world that we can truly be proud of. Be an advocate for human rights! Come combat racism with us!

“End racism. Build peace”

We despised racism and disapproved of all types of prejudice. Instead, we
should strive to strengthen our commitment to human decency and
multiculturalism. Having to wear such an ensemble would be phenomenal,
regardless of how they conduct themselves, as long as they honor and value
the tradition. Rulers who lack genuine grievances to be incensed over are
the only ones who lash out viciously when they see people dressed in
garments from other cultures. The majority of people lack interest.
Individuals from various cultures are most often gratified when you genuinely
adopt anything from their culture.

As one of the most developed countries in Asia, South Korea is a country
where many people from other nations settle to live in. We want to help
everyone achieve equality by presenting a country that could help achieve a
world free of racism and racial discrimination. Where we could act as one,
be treated equally, and pursue human rights.

The women's hanbok has a short jacket called "jeogori’, an upper thin jacket.
Paired with a full skirt that is called "chima", with wide petticoat inside. It is
designed to facilitate easy movement to the wearer and to create a free
flowing effect. This type of clothing specifically worn by our female candidate
is from the late Joseon Dynasty, where clothing for women is simpler with
less complicated designs. It is a 반회장저고리 (Ban Hoe-jang Jeogori), which
is a two-colored, shorter version of a Jeogori matched with a plain-colored
Chima (skirt).

For the male Hanbok, it is a type of clothing worn by a nobleman from the
Silla Kingdom where noblemen wear a long robe worn over their top and
bottom garments together with a belt tied around their waist.

Arabian women traditional costume

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, known to many as KSA, is an extremely conservative country with a strict dress code despite recent changes to the law. If you plan to visit or move there with your family, it is absolutely crucial that you understand how to appropriately dress.

The way that women dress in Saudi Arabia is changing. This change is occurring more rapidly in some cities, like Jeddah and Damman, than in others, such as Riyadh. This is largely due to the branch of Islam that is predominant in different areas, some such as Wahhabism, being more conservative than others.

Until very recently all women, whether they were visitors, residents or citizens, were required to cover their heads and wear an abaya (a long loose-fitting robe) when out in public and this was enforced by the Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice. Some local women have now abandoned the abaya, but most still wear it.

Some Saudi women wear a full-face veil, such as a niqab (eyes are visible) or a burqa (even the eyes are covered); others opt for a chador (the full face is visible, but the hair is tightly covered) or hijab (a looser headscarf)..

Even before the abaya, women wore long black dresses embroidered with multi-coloured emblems and decorated with coins. Women and girls might wear elaborate golden headdresses as well as beautiful necklaces and earrings.
