    This article is about the global refugee crisis, and the different stances countries have taken on immigration. It also contains information on the number of refugees in multiple countries.
  •  
    If we as a global community could establish a kind of program to help provide a home for refugees and for refugees to establish themselves as members of a new nation without discrimination, this would be best for everyone. They are fully capable of contributing and they deserve the opportunity to do so.

Water Sanitation and Global Poverty - Caritas Australia - 1 views

  •  
    An organization based out of Australia that helps poor countries to provide clean drinking water. Underlies the importance to global health thru clean water.
  •  
    What a great organization! Water sanitiation is something that we take for granted here in America, it's easy to not think about the other countries that have clean water.
  •  
    this website discusses several issues but this link actually takes you to the issue of unsanitary water. This caught my attention due to the fact that so many countries do not have this luxury that we do. Clean water is commonly overlooked in our society.

Is climate change real, and is the world actually getting warmer? - 2 views

  •  
    This article talks about the facts and myths in relation to global warming. It is proven that the earth is steadily getting hotter. It also talks about how some think we as humans are causing Our own demise and heading for the end and how some think there may eventually be a small group of survivors
  •  
    Arrhenius's theory being proven today is a very scary thing. It's inevitable that we will reach 1.5c tons, but how do we change our ways so drastically to stop is from reaching 2c tons? I propose we become aware of how much we consume and how what we consume is slowly taking its toll on our atmosphere.
  •  
    Great site and lots of good information on a huge topic in the political arena these days.

Addressing the Global Refugee Crisis - 0 views

  •  
    Amanda B. Clinton wrote an article talking about the crisis refugees are facing with psychological health. She stated that the APA Office of International Affairs hosted a program called the International Learning Partner Program in Kosovo. 10 U.S. based psychologists who joined the program in Kosovo allowed people like Ilir, an expert in Balkan culture, who had no choice but to flee his country.According to United Nations High Commissions on Refugees every 20 minutes people leave everything behind in order to escape the terror of war and persecution. Okazaki, Haarlammert, Guler and Liu (2019), indicated that psychology has never been more important than it is today. With the strong leadership in the APA evidence on the recognition of the refugees rights has increasingly gotten a lot better.

  • ...1 more comment...
  •  
    Being a federal agency, it shocks me that many do not believe in climate change despite being presented with facts by NASA, itself. I like that the evidence portion of this site provides visuals to better understand and acknowledge the reality of climate change.
  •  
    The graphics in this article made it interesting and informative. The statistics on the increase in carbon dioxide levels since 1950 is astonishing. Discussions on global warming causes and remediation are necessary.

Education and Global Poverty - Caritas Australia - 2 views

  •  
    this article comes from the same website as the first. I chose this one because i believe everyone should have the right to education if they want it.this article goes into depth about the issues other countries are having educationally.
  •  
    This article bring to attention the fact that so many kids are required to put their needs above their education. It is unfortunate that this happens because it has such a huge effect on their future. I cannot fathom trying to live on $2 a day or less!

    Wow! What an eye opener, and a really great read. I new it was a lot, but these numbers are astronomical and unacceptable. Something must be done! Thanks for sharing!!!

Trumps proposed band on refugees will have global consequences - 0 views

  •  
    Trump has proposed a policy to stop refugees coming into the country. That has horrible consequences. It says to the world that the US will not help offer help in times of need. It also leads to families being separated as refugees already in the US won't be able to get their families to come over too.
  •  
    Thank you for sharing this article, I personally and politically believe in helping refugees. One of the great things I have loved about America is how helpful and open the US has previously been in accepting refugees. I'm saddened that this may no longer be the case with the Trump Administrative.
  •  
    The same proposition was put into place during world war two after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Just out of curiosity, do you believe it was appropriate then?

    I am so desperate and angry that I wish Mother Nature did something to wake those people up. Maybe a massive earthquake or tsunami will show them how bad of the current state our planet is in.
  •  
    How do you explain the duality of scientific evidence logically pertaining to the results of meta studies both proving and disproving climate change effects and signs?
  •  
    dal2124240, you don't when it pertains to our newly elected administration.
  •  
    Again I will ask how do you personally explain the duality of scientific evidence? The last time I check the currently elected administration is not taking English 102 or 101, sharing fact based articles or an attempt there unto pertaining. How do you personally defend your argument against the duality of scientific research; That in the last 30 years the atmosphere over the Antarctic has repaired itself over 150,000,000 square miles despite the increase of carbon emissions?
  •  
    http://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/. Here you go Dalton. Now, may I ask where you got your "evidence based fact" from, and do you have anymore from any reputable sources?

    I think this website is relevant to what I posted about abuse. Many people that abuse their kids sell/traffic their children as well or eventually will.
