¶ … President of the World
Hunger, war, poverty, human rights abuses, incurable diseases, climate change, drug abuse (most particularly amongst the youth) just to name but a few are some of the real problems we face as global citizens today. Each and every jurisdiction from Africa to America to Asia faces more or less similar problems and in my opinion, very little is being done both at the political and civil society front to tackle the underlying problem. In my view, we fail to tackle these global problems because we keep ducking real issues. What would I do differently if I were to be elected president of the world?
With a single government running the world, I am convinced that global issues would be addressed in a more efficient and all-inclusive manner. What if I were to be elected president in such an arrangement? If such an unlikely eventuality came to pass, I would simply establish four key pillars for a better world during my first 100 days in office. These key pillars would be financial literacy, health, democracy...
These are the key pillars I would entrench into the 'global constitution' to guarantee the well being of each and every global citizen.
In regard to financial literacy, I remain convinced that this is one of the most underrated pillars to human progress in the modern world. Many of our school going children are not being taught how to manage their finances. They therefore leave school already heavily in debt and squander most of the earnings they rake in when they eventually get employment. In that regard, they effectively end up messing not only their lives but those of future generations. If I were to become president of the world, I would make financial education mandatory at all levels of education. With this, more people would learn how to be financially independent and hence be able to effectively settle their health costs, utility expenses and other bills. With more people being able to take care of themselves other than…

Soroka Chapter One Summary of Key Concepts Sociology is the field of study which seeks to "describe, explain, and predict human social patterns" from a scientific perspective. And though Sociology is part of the social sciences (such as psychology and anthropology), it is quite set apart from the other disciplines in social science; that is because it emphasizes
World Trade issues are an important issue to the plight of Africa as well. Providing a more level playing field for Africa to get into the game will set the wheels in motion for improvement and allow Africa to begin reaping some of the benefits of the world trade agreements. That money can be funneled back into the development of the continent thereby reducing the need for outside funding. Debt cancellation
One way to reform the Bank would be to make it more accountable to an outside body of independent examiners, so that information it generates is not so self-serving and internally generated. In addition, since there have been so many charges of corruption and mismanagement, it is clear divisions such as the "anti-corruption" division are not working, and these areas need to undergo major reform. Perhaps a total reorganization
Women to History Women have contributed to the history of the world from the beginning of time. Their stories are found in legends, myths, and history books. Queens, martyrs, saints, and female warriors, usually referred to as Amazon Women, writers, artists, and political and social heroes dot our human history. By 1865, women moved into the public arena, as moral reform became the business of women, as they fought for
