So, I have to do this summer assignment for my Euro class, and I was hoping you guys could help. :shy:

 

We have to make a list of twenty 'important issues affecting the world today'. So far, I've come up with the BP Oil Spill and the debate over a mosque at Ground Zero. :lol: It's kind of funny that's all I have so far, considering I'm on here most of the time and such. :uhoh2:

 

Any suggestions? :nice:

 

edit- I hope this is the right place for this thread, I figured more people would notice it here. :uhoh:

1. economic crises? heard about that recently laura?

 

2. technologies (too fast developed?, well used? how are they recycled? )

 

3. global warming!!

 

4. the panic predictions of the end of the world, (the other day i heard on the news that scientist were worried cause for real an asteroid or something was going to cross near our atmosphere, in 70 years or so)

 

5. poverty and slavery

 

6. dictatorships and censorship.

air pollution, economics crisis, terrorism, global warming... things like that?

:lol:

 

Thanks guys. :wacko:

I'm repeating some that are already said.

 

I heard something about proposal for a one economic world or something like that. Definitely economy must be included.

 

Global warming.

 

Extinction of animals and reasons etc.

 

Racism? :lol:

:lol:

 

I'm just trying to come up with some specific examples of this stuff now. :dizzy:

What about social problems in the West?

 

Drugs, knife crime, teenage pregnancies, gangs, anti-social behaviour etc?

I mean, issues that are afecting the whole world like economic crises and global warming? Or somethig more specific like drug violence in Mexico? Or the diplomatic problems between Colombia and Venezuela?

:lol:

 

I'm just trying to come up with some specific examples of this stuff now. :dizzy:

 

Good luck :lips:

oh I had to do the same thing too :blank:

 

I spoke about the issues above^^^ and also spoke about health issues and gay marriages

Rapidly increasing population

 

Running out of resources

 

Sea levels rising

 

Sweat shops, child labour

 

Drug trafficking and the sex trade

 

GM foods

 

Cloning; Good or bad?

 

Pesticides Vs. Organic food

 

Sustainability - How can we live more sustainably in a throwaway society?

 

Loss of habitat, deforestation and desertification

 

Increased natural hazards due to Global Warming

 

Hope that helps. What a depressing world.

You'd get super brownie points for writing about something totally original, look up Burma/Myanmar and the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka.

 

The only problem with those two topics is that it's so hard to research reliable information on the situations because of the blackout going on in both countries, maybe you could link that into a real world issue (Look at North Korea).

You could always do it on "Money markets aren't a accurate measure of liquidity because the global derivatives markets overshadows it."

I love you guys. :lol:

Uncommon Sense is a fairly large World issue.

how's the work going?

funny how you don't hear about Global Warming and green stuff so much when the World is in recession.
