Economics
For the economics unit of the Innovation Academy we students were handed the task of creating a documentary related to an economic issue of our choice. To achieve this goal we as a class read "Naked Economics", so we could understand the essence of economics. However, after that we had no other guideline and everything we learned and created was by going out to the real world and finding it. My project was centered around the conflict that exists between the industrial and traditional fisherman in Peru due to the new quota law. To get all the necessary information my group and I conducted interviews with the CEO of different companies like Hayduk and Profish, as well as local fisherman and restaurant owners to see how the average consumer is affected. The information found and learned was very rewarding because by going out to the field we gained knowledge that would have otherwise been impossible to learn.
