Political:
1. Growing Unemployment.
2. Poverty:
a) Global Income Distribution: 60% live on only a 6% slice of the Global Income Cake.
b) The majority live on less than 2$ a day; one fifth on less than $1.
c) 12.6 million die each year because they are too poor to stay alive.
d) The hundred richest people in the world earn the same amount of money as the two billion poorest, almost one third of our population.
e) Companies relocate to geographical areas where people are forced to work for a survival wage, or starve.
f) Child Labour: 246 million of our children are working.
g) Disease... especially Aids.
h) Inequality of opportunity: This causes the type of frustration and anger that leads to terrorism and war.
i) Unfair Trading.
3. Melt-down in the Global Economy.
4. Banking Chaos.
5. Debt out of Control.
Charity hasn’t worked, let’s try justice.
Our Shameful Problems:
Political
6. War: 36,000 nuclear bombs exist: 100 million people were slaughtered in war during the 21st century.
7. Other Armaments, designed to kill millions.
8. Terrorism.
9. Genocide.
10. The Displacement of Millions of People.
11. Famine.
12. Global Warming
13. Drug Trafficking
14. Lawlessness
15. Lack of Education
Truly the list could go on and on
We, the people of the world, have a democratic right and a responsibility to determine our own affaires, to care for one another, to end this insanity; this holocaust must come to an end, this gigantic catastrophe that is war and poverty must be changed by us. It would be shameful for us to ignore our responsibility and leave the world in the hands of those who have failed to do anything.
