#8-Poverty
Wealthy nations like Canada and the U.S. need to provide aid with no strings attached, therefore the developing nations do not need to worry about coming up with the funds to pay the wealthy nations back. Also a higher percentage of donations from charities need to been spent on actually helping the people instead on advertisement and supporting the charity its self. Also wealthy nations should help the developing nations with discovering new sustainable resources that bring in a high income.
#7 Israeli Settlement Building
I disagree with the Israeli's resuming building in the El Zone because it is going to cause problems with Palestine. They are to close to Palestinian land which is going to interpreted as a threat or as dominance and fighting could break out.

#6 Newton School Shooting
I think that a lot about the the shooting was misunderstood. They man who killed the 28 people was mentally ill and had down syndrome. Though it doesn't give him an excuse to kill innocent children and teachers, it must be take into consideration. With violence in our society, the person who commits the act of murder will get highly publicized and that killer will get more publicity than the victims In some cases it doesn't happen but most times it does. I think that this happens because of how normalized violence has become in our society due to video games, t.v. shows and movies.
#5 World Issues Conference
The World Issues Conference is an excellent opportunity for young students interested in the world around them. The conference allows kids from other schools to meet and talk about the issues and problems that are going on the world while be guided by older students and influential leaders in the world. ex.
