Donald Trump's Mexico wall

Trump wants to make a wall between the US and Mexico. The border is about 1.900 miles (3.100km) long and traverses all of terrain.

Mr Trump claims the total cost of the  wall be $10bn (£7.5bn) to $12bn. But Trump doesn't want to pay the wall, he wants that Mexico pays the construction.

In the wish to build this wall we have seen that Trump, among other things, is racist. Because there isn't other reason to justify what he has done. Another thing that we can deduce from this fact is is that Trump feels like the king of the world. Because not only we do he have to do what he wants but also in the way he wants. He is the one who wants the wall but does not want to pay for his construction and for that reason wants Mexico to do it. An idea a bit absurd considering that he is who wants the wall because it seems that Mexico and his inhabitants are not at their "height".

I think that building the wall is a racist act and not a act to protect his country. Because if he had to protect his citizens from something, maybe, the best thing would be to put a wall between him and his country.

How many people can our planet really support?

How many people can our planet really support?

We have a problem with the future of the planet. The problem not is the number of people if not the behavior of these persons with the Earth. This happens because we consume more than earth produces.
As Gandhi said " The world has enough for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed"
The population increases and with she the damage that we make with our necessities. According to United  Nations predictions it could reach 9 billion people by 2050, and over 11 billion by 2100. And more important we aren't know if can live so much persons because this never happened before. But we can know where will happen this increase observing that the largest increase currently low and middle-income countries.
Mainly, rich countries emit the emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases however the poor countries even having more inhabitants emit less greenhouse gases. There are exceptions, such as the Copenhagen.
The way for can to maintain a large human population is that the people living in high-income nations reduce the pressure on global climate.
Therefore, there needs to be a fundamental change in the core values of developed societies: away from an emphasis on material wealth, and towards a model where individual and societal well-being are considered most important.
Also is important reduce the number of inhabitants because we aren't maintain so much persons. A good method is helping the persons of poor countries because sometimes have sons because they haven't contraceptive methods and when have the son they can't maintain him.
The big number of inhabitants and the actions of these make: problems of climate change, biodiversity extinction crisis, mass ocean pollution, one billion people are starving and another one billion people are having nutrient deficiencies.
Although it has been investigated if we would can live in other planets, for the moment the only place where we will live is the Earth. Then we have to take care of the Earth.

I think that the rich countries we would have to something for attempt to improve the condition of Earth and the some inhabitants of this. Until not make nothing globally we can make anything for helping to Earth.

Introduction Global Issues

Paris climate agreement is a accord made by different countries of the world. This accord wants to better the climate, fighting against climate change.
The key elements for get the objective are fall the global temperatures, review the reduction of gases in each country and the rich countries help to the poor countries to adapt to climate change and switch to renewable energy.
This agreement has as weakness the money because would need more and this make that have less projects. But Paris is only the start and still have many things that to do.
Before they tired start a project for protect the environment. This project, Kyoto Protocol was a agreement create in 1997 and it wanted to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The accord did not work because the US pulled out and other failed to comply.

In my opinion this is a good way of invest money because the climate change affect everyone. So i think that would have to make more project with this objective and don't spend so much many in unnecessary things. Also I believe, and want be wrong, that we will not obtain proposed goals.

Bullying

I have chosen to talk about bullying the more we know about this the better . In this way we can help the person who is being bullied and also the person who does the bullying.
First of all there are many kinds of bullying. The typical bullying at school but  nowadays it is frequent to use cyberbullying by sending messages and whatsapp. It can be verbal or aggressive. In my opinion all this these forms are bad because all of them hurt in some way.
The person who is bullied  does not usually tell anybody neither his parents nor his teachers because he is afraid. However the person who does the bullying also has a problem because this behaviour is not normal. Furthermore the person who bullies often does this when he is with a group of friends, but when he is alone his attitude is different. Both of them need help because if not this will become more serious.
In conclusion bullying is not good for anybody, moreover if you see anybody who is being bullied or any person who does bullying you should ask for help.

Tracy Chapman -Talkin' Bout A Revolution

Talkin' Bout A Revolution 

Talkin 'Bout A Revolution is a song of Tracy Chapman written in 1988.

It is a song that talks about the social differences that had at that epoch. Although now, at a lower level, there is still a hierarchical society.  There are people who have a lot of power and money while others starve to death.
For this reason I have chosen this song, because we have to fight for our rights. Nobody can be born being any better than another person, we all deserve the opportunity to choose our future.
This song claims the rights of the people and encourages us to fight for them.
