Altough there are many issues in the world, I think terrorism, global warming, and water and air pollution are important to me. My first important event of our world is terrorism. Terrorism means that use of violent action in order to achieve political aims or to force a government to act. I think the September 11, 2001 attacks(9.11) served as a momentum of terrorism today. The reason of I chose it is that there are many big and small organizations about terrorism in the world, and many terrors occur these days. Sometimes the wars occur because of terrorism. The war in Iraq can be one of example of the war which resulted from the terrorism. Terrorism is a very dangerous and harmful thing to many people as well as world peace. My second event is global warming. The average temperature of the Earth is increasing. Because I have heard many news about strange weather events that is one of global warming problems, and strange weather event is very important part in our life, I selected this event. There are several reasons of global warming such as variations in its orbit around the sun, volcanic eruption, and greenhouse gas. Especially, greenhouse gas is pointed out as a main reason. The global warming causes many other problems like sea level rise, extreme strange weather events, and changes in the account and pattern of precipitation. These problems can change ecosystem, and it will menace our life and world. My third event is water and air pollution. Water and air are very important thing in our life, so I selected this, We can’t imagine our life without water and air. Today water and air pollution is one of biggest problem in the world. As civilization progress, many substances that pollute our environment are discharged by many cars, many factories, our houses, etc. Some people don’t know how serious it is, It, however, is related to our life. The world have to realize seriousness of water and air pollution. Because we can’t live without there things.

The two issues that I feel most important are poverty,world hunger and women’s right. I chose these two particularly because these are the problems many people are facing almost everyday.
Firstly Poverty is one of the issues that the world is facing and suffering everyday.In this world many people have died because of the lack of food, clothing and money. Poverty has caused much death due to the lack of medicine and unsanitary living conditions. Due to poverty many people cannot afford good living space so most of them end up living in allies or under bridges. Hunger produces a high crime rate because of their survival. Due to their hungryness many people choose wrong path such as robbing banks, supermarkets etc. It has also forced people to kill for anything they need or want. According, to me I also consider women rights an important task because ther are still plenty of women in many countries that don’t have any right for example most of the women in villages don’t have right to study, vote or to do what they desire instead they have to work indoors. I think women should also have equal right as men.

To me all of the global issues are really emportant because they all end up affectin the same thing, enviroment.
The enviroment is all we have, and if it is destroyed it’d be like our end.So it is really important to have in mind about each of the global issues and always try to do our best.
If we don’t who else will?

All the global issues are important to me. I think most important issue is children’s rights. Children in some pore countries have to fight as soldier and that’s really heart my feeling. They are still small kids, but gervernment force them to fight. They don’t get any education and they are fighting aginst other children. They can die before they grow up and meet their dreams. I wish I can help those children.

My two most important global issues are global warming and the environment problems. Global warming, I watched the video about the global warming last year in my science class, and i very feel that this is the big problem that prople in the next generation will face, and all the land in the Arctic will dry off, the air will be hotter, the white bears will not have place to live, all the world will face the water problems, and etc… The environment problems is my second important global issues because today lots of people build everything up without thinking about it will cause the surface of the world and if they still doing that it will be to heavy for the world to hold everything and every problems will happend to the people that lives in the world

Towards me, the first global issue is the increasing temperature of the world. The air has been polluted and it causes the atmosphere is slender than ever. The sunshine could directly illuminate the Earth and makes its temperature is increasing day by day. We could imagine when the earth was hotter, the ice at South-pole and North-pole would dissolve. It would make the water level of ocean rise and the continent would flooded. If it happened, the people would be died. Therefore, to prevent it happened, all of us have to protect the environment. We need to keep the air clean and improve the plant on the world. The second global issue is the water and the wood in the world were being destroyed nowdays. The water was being used wastefully and was being polluted. If we don’t learn how to save the water, ondays we would have water not enough to use. We also have to have more way to clean the water on the world and keep it away from present pollution. Besides, many woods in many country also was being destroyed cruelly. If we don’t protect and improve it, the world would be pollute and flood. Therefore, each of us should be try the best to protect the environment and our world.

The two global issues that interested me the most are food and water security, and rich/poor gap.These issues really got me because in my own opinion I think they’re unfair. I mean, we’re all the same there is definitely no reason of why some people has more than others.Thiis embarrasing.There is enough food, and works for everybody, so there shouldn’t be anyone left out. We all have the same apportunities, and rights.

All the global issue are imprtan to me, Because all of them afect us,and the eviroment living and non-living things that occur naturally on Earth or some part of it. but I thing the water pollution is really important,because one of the thik that we need to live is water and if we destroyed it and we do not maintain it clean we can die and other species of animals to. So we have to do something to help to stop the contamination of the water to preserve it and the world
