#20- Moving Foreward

I would really like to go on a service trip to help build schools, wells, and homes for people in underdeveloped countries like Sub-Saharan Africa, The Middle East and Asiatic places like Bangladesh, Thailand or China. Also i wish to become more involved in women s rights acts to help show that we are all equal. I would like to further my education about theses issue throughout my college and university years to gain more understanding and insight on why these global implications are occurring in our world today.

#19- What I've learned From This Course

I have learned many things from this course; Women's Rights Issues, the Global Water Crisis and history making events like the Arab Spring. What i will take away from this course is that i must keep up on current events so i can educate others about the issues in our world. Also i think that my debating/presentation skills have improved over the course of the year allowing me to persuade others to see and agree with my point of view.  I will use my better refined skills to help organizations like animals shelters to gain funding.

18- World Issues Course

I think the theme of this course was to educate young people about the ongoing problems that are happening around our world today as well as learning of new issues and developing theoretical solutions. I think my choice about joining the course has made me more self aware about how i participate in today's society whether it be who i buy my clothes from or where i buy my grocery; i am more globally aware of how affect other people by supporting destructive companies like Joe Fresh or Wal-Mart.

#17- American Gun Laws

If I was an American I would be pro-gun law because guns don't kill people; people kill people. You can't force a gun to fire its self, a person must pull the trigger. I do think that gun laws need to be reformed and the American government needs to become more invested in stopping illegal arms trades. Being able to carry a firearm could potentially save the life of some; a woman being attacked by a person bigger than her, a man being attacked by multiple assailants, a shop owner being violently robbed. I'm not saying that shooting someone is okay but being able to defend ones self is a security that all humans wish to poses. Some people do that by take a self defense course some, carry firearms.  

#16- Modern Terrorism

Stereotyping people based on religion is one of the reasons modern terrorism is so common. Most of the time, in recent terrorist attacks anyways, the accused are young testosterone filled men who have been pushed into making a catastrophic choice because of a emotional event having to do with the government in which they live under. Many of these situations that have occurred could have been avoided if the government wasn't so bias and corrupt in the sense that labeling people based on their religion, physical appearance, economic status is what pushed people to make an unreasonable choice that could have been avoided.

#15-Religion in our Government

Religion has no place in the government. Religion negatively influences the governments decisions over issues like abortion rights, gay rights and womens rights. Government should be a non bias based unit but many politicians are bias because of their religious views that say that homosexuality is a sin, it is wrong to abort a fetus no how it came to be alive; rape, drunken sex and women should not be allowed the same opportunities that men receive. Religion does have so good point like "thou shall not kill" but murder is morally wrong, its unnatural for a human to kill another human. But the negatives out way the positives.

#14-Food Dumping in Developing Nations

Food dumping is wealthy nations giving food in the form of aid in lump sum. I think food dumping is contributing to corruption in developing nations because the food is not being directly disturbed to the people in need. We need to teach the people how to grow renewable resources so the can feed them selves as well as start to export good so their economy can grow.
