CORRUPTION

What is corruption? According to what i found on the internet, this is the abuse of  public resources to enrich or give unfair advantages to people, corruption is a serious crime that undermine social, economic development and weakens the  fabric of modern-day society.There are 3 types of corruption: Petty corruption, Grand corruption, systematic corruption.

Nowadays, corruption happens everywhere. For example, in Vietnam, when you go outside, and the police catch you, just give them money, then you can go. Even when you go to jail, with money, you can go, too. At the judicial assembly, if a victim have money, they can free from their crime.You can see that, everywhere we go, corruption are there. With money, you can do, have everything you want. So, what is the causes of corruption? In my opinion, people are greedy in their own, that is their basic character, from nature. Everybody want to have money, fame, power, respects, etc. That's why they don't mind step on other people to take for their own. Some people accept to do EVERYTHING to get what they want, even crimes, or abuse other people.

According to http://smallbusiness.chron.com/ and www.transparency.org, the effects of corruption are :lost resources, weakened development, increases crime, affects inequality, income distributions and the orverall governmance,business environment, etc.

What is the solution? In my opinion, people should change the government system, change people thinking about getting their own advantages, send more messages about corruption to the people, also collaboration with other countries to develop the society and decrease the amount of corrupts, make more rules to the police or some small companies to prevent corruptions, always check and follow the document or the figures of the companies in the country, etc.

Natural Disaster

Natural Disaster is nature's action that opposed people with big power. These kind of disasters lead to big losses and kill a lot of people. There are many kind of disasters : earthquakes, windstorms , floods, tsunami, volcanic eruption,.. These disasters usually happens without warning. That's why after the disaster, many cities have been destroyed and led to the death of thousands of people.

 Earthquakes:
An earthquake is caused by the sudden breaking and movement of large sections (tectonic plates) of the earth's rocky outermost crust. At the Earth’s surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by shaking and sometimes displacement of the ground. Due to the australiangeographic.com, the 10 biggest earthquakes in the history (until now) are : valdivia, chile,1960; Prince Willian Sound, Alaska,1964; Sumatra, Indonesia, 2004; Sendai, Japan, 2011; Kamchatka, Russia, 1952; Bio-bio, Chile, 2010;Ecuador coast,1906; Rat Islands, Alaska, 1965; Sumatra, Indonesia, 2005; Assam, Tibet, 2005. These earthquakes above are all have the magnitude more than 8.5, and they all caused a very big amount of the destruction after that. The deadliest earthquakes was seem to be in egypt and syria (1201), this disaster killed over 1.1 million people, destroying countless homes, and almost every major city within the near east had been affected by this quake

Drought:

A drought is an extended period of months or years when a region suffers a severe deficiency in its water supply.Drought is caused by not only lack of precipitation and high temperatures but by overuse and overpopulation.  Although droughts can persist for several years, even a short, intense drought can cause significant damage and harm the local economy. The most popular drought was seem to be in china (1876-1879) ,there were no food production because the rivers ran dry killing them, these disaster killed over 9 million people. Next one is in Africa (1981-1984), just like in china, the rivers and lakes dried up leads to livestock died, these caused about 20,000 people starving to death each month. In the end , there were over 1 million had succumbed to death.

CLEAN DRINKING WATER

People need water to live. Water is the necessary thing for human life and we DO need CLEAN water to drink, right? So, what is clean drinking water? Clean drinking water is water safe enough to be consumed by humans or used with low risk of immediate or long term harm.

According to the World Commision on Water 1999, River Yellow (China), Ganges (India), Amu and Syr Darya (Central Asia) are the top list of the world's most polluted rivers. People in these areas have to use these kind of water for their living life. Also, in some part of Africa, some women have to spend hours to get dirty water for their family. How do you feel when you have to drink, bath, and live with dirty water? But those people they have no other choice, they have to use polluted water EVERYDAY.

Why is this the problem?—Health Problem: Cholera, Typhoid Fever, Guinea Worm Disease, Increased Risk of Cancer.Disastrous effects on the environment: Animals and Sea.

Who are this issue affects? The entire world.

Right now, fresh water are lack in the world, there are only 3% of fresh water are available for human uses.So, what can you do to help? SAVE WATER. Stop wasting it in your everyday life, you can save water by taking a bath faster, take enough amount of water that you need, turn off the tap after using,..Also, there are many organization about saving water, you can donate money or help them to send message to everyone else. Remember, you save a drop, you save a life!

Deforestation

There are many different natural problem are happening now in the world. You can see that there are many organization and revolution come out to protect and improve the environment issues. One of the very popular and dangerous issues is Deforestation.

So what is deforestation? This is the destruction of natural due to human activities like logging, cutting trees for fuel, slash-and-burn agriculture, clearing land for livestock grazing, mining operations, oil extraction, dam building, and urban sprawl or other types of development and population expansion.An estimated 18 million acres (7.3 million hectares) of forest — roughly the size of Panama — are lost each year, according to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

What is the cause of deforestation? People usually cut trees for sell, housing, urbanization, timber,. and they don't know how important those trees are. First,deforestation happens can lead to the loss of species, animals will lost their "home", some might die, and this lead to animal extinction, also, smaller plant will die too.Next, carbon emissions,trees help absorb greenhouse gasses and carbon emissions ( by human civilization and contribute).The loss of a big amount of tree will make the carbon and greenhouse gasses enter the atmosphere. Third, soil erosion, the soil can dry out, leading to problems like increased flooding and inability to farm.Soil erosion can also lead to silt entering the lakes, streams, and other water sources. This can decrease local water quality, contributing to poor health in the local population.

What can we do to help? You can apply yourself into many organization that urges people to plant and protect the tree. Persuade and tell everybody about this issues. Also, i think that the government should have stricter laws to decrease this issue.Schools should have more assembly or study about the trees and the importance of it for children to understand it when they was younger. 

HUMAN TRAFFICKING

The development of our society lead to many problems. People starts to trample each other for their own profits, they really don’t care about legal or not, they just do it. For example, sell drugs, piracy,…One of the most dangerous thing happen now is Human Trafficking. And unfortunately , Human Trafficking is common all around the world nowadays. Day by day, there are tons of people have been traffic and the amount are seem to grow more in the future.

 So, what is human trafficking actually? This is the kind of trading people, usually women and children for sexual slavery, forced labor, extraction of organs or tissues, including surrogacy and ova removal,… According to

http://www.polarisproject.org/, victims of human trafficking can be divided into 3 main groups: Children under age 18 induced into commercial sex, adults aged 18 or over induced into commercial sex through force, fraud, or coercion, children and adults induced to perform labor or services through force, fraud, or coercion.

 Which countries have the highest rate of human trafficking?According to http://listdose.com/, 10 countries that have highest rate in human trafficking are :  China, Ghana,  Uganda, Nepal, Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, Haiti,  Brazil, Bangladesh. Usually, people are being traffic those who are poor, have a misery life, or they need money for their family,.. They usually being cheated because bad people promise to help them find more money or promise to make their life better.

 Have you ever imagine about the life of the people after they have been traffic? They are starved, and beaten by their boss, some have to eat the food that have been thrown away. According to what I know, teenage girl or woman that after being sold through China, they have to “serve” about 15-20 men a day, and starved until almost die, sometimes if they don’t except, they will be beaten and leave naked all day.

So, what is the cause of this issue? In my opinion, there are tons of causes will happen if this issue continuing to grow. First, about the sexual slavery, this will cause to the increase of some dangerous diseases: HIV/AIDS or lead to the increase of abortion or death infants, also there are some cases that teenagers have to be a mother very early, and their children will not be educated very well. Second, human trafficking will be an opportunities for the crime to increase more. For example, people will do anything if they don’t have money for their life, and bad people will do bad things, they will traffic human and then after a while, there will be a lot of organizations to sell people. Third, the social evils increase mean that the economic, politics in that country decrease.

What can we do to help?

- Nowadays, there are many organization to support and help people survive and escape after they have been traffic, so we can find a way to tell people to donate money for them.

-Tell the police when you see anything might include in human trafficking.

-Tell your family about it and what are happening now in the world.

-Government should stricter in the laws and put some knowledge about it for younger teenager ( also included way to avoid it).

International Trade

International Trade is something that affects every individual in every country, daily. So, what is international trade basically? International trade is the exchange of capital, goods, and services across international borders or territories. This type of trade gives rise to a world economy, in which prices, or supply and demand, affect and are affected by global events.

These are some international trade problems:Intellectual property including copyright, patent and trademarks, lack foreign competitive bidding, increasing imports and unfair competition,....

I think the World Trade Organization(WTO) is doing a good job in improving the international trade.Right now, there are 160 countries include in this WTO.The World Trade Organization (WTO) deals with the global rules of trade between nations. Its main function is to ensure that trade flows as smoothly, predictably and freely as possible.

According to globalexchange.org, here are some top reasons that WTO should be opposed by people:

1. The WTO Is Fundamentally Undemocratic

2. The WTO Will Not Make Us Safer

3. The WTO Tramples Labor and Human Rights

4. The WTO Would Privatize Essential Services

5. The WTO Is Destroying the Environment

6. The WTO is Killing People

7. The WTO is Increasing Inequality

8. The WTO is Increasing Hunger

9. The WTO Hurts Poor, Small Countries in Favor of Rich Powerful Nations

10. The WTO Undermines Local Level Decision-Making and National Sovereignty

11. There are Alternatives to the WTO

12. The Tide is Turning Against Free Trade and the WTO!

In my opinion, international trade is a necessary thing for every country and also the whole world.So, if people want to improve and develop it, basically just don't export and import facilities with higher price, also ensure about the quality of the goods also facilities and finally, help some country that don't want to trade to understand that they need this to develop and improve their country problems.

Health Care

Health care has been a necessary thing for every countries until now. So, what is a health system?  A health system is the sum total of all the organizations, institutions and resources whose primary purpose is to improve health. A health system needs staff, funds, information, supplies, transport, communications and overall guidance and direction. And it needs to provide services that are responsive and financially fair, while treating people decently.

First,let's look over to the health care system at Sweden, which is one of the top countries that have the best health care system. Sweden priorities better healthcare. That's why, they spend 9 percent of GDP on healthcare. Sweden proportionally has one of Europe’s largest elderly populations.The average life span is now 83.7 years for women and 80.1 years for men.In Sweden,everyone has equal access to health care services under a largely decentralised, taxpayer-funded system.The responsibility for health and medical care in Sweden is shared by the central government, county councils and municipalities.Children under 18 will enjoy the same rights as Swedish children, which means that not only will they have rights to emergency care, but they will also have access to dentistry and preventive care through the all-important years of development.

Now, let's move to another places, South Africa. Health care in South Africa varies from the most basic primary health care, offered free by the state, to highly specialised, hi-tech health services available in both public and private sector. The public sector is under-resourced and over-subscribed. Diagnostic facilities in state hospitals are lacking; wards are crowded.South Africa emerges with 44.2 infant deaths per 1,000 live births, life expectancy in the republic in 2007 was 50.5 years.

What is the solutions for health care system problem basically? For poorer country, i think government should focus more on the efficiency of the public health, improve children mortality, reduce maternal. In africa, people should find a way to increase some dangerous diseases by improving the food and the water problems. Also, invest more diagnostic facilities and more kind of medicine. Improving the funds problem.
