      <description><![CDATA[Obviously, US is the BIG BROTHER and being dependent on US to survive, we in other countries are just small little fries that if provoke the BRother, will incur a loss, the extent of which is simply unimaginable and which we do not wish to even think about. So, what is the conclusion? STICK WITH THE US, and be an obedient, submissive little puppy to the master. 

As said earlier, POWER is EVERYTHING. The one who wields it, controls the whole world. If one wants to counter the US, one has to have enough power first. Yet, power corrupts as well. One may wish to change the world for the better and wants to get to the top in order to fulfill it, and in doing so, one may also inevitably get sucked into the whole corrupted system. 

So the conclusion? Be a Nelson Mendela or a Mohammad Ghandi. Touch the hearts of the people and use this influence to get the power you need.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Yeah, I agree that we have to do our parts. Even if some peope would not do anything, it does not mean that our own efforts will not work out. 

Yet, to get everyone's involvement, I think the government should not just focus on the GDP or GNP or any purely economically interested developments for companies. The various industries are the one who contribute the most to pollution. Governments should set up a pollution study group to improve the situation and look towards rewarding the environmentally friendly industries which take steps to reduce the output of pollution from their factories, while also punishing those who do not care. :P]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Wow Kirsten, thanks for the information! Really appreciate it, cause that pretty much sums up the fact of life, or rather reality that is hard to swallow, especially for the countries being &quot;used&quot;... US being the big brother, should try to set a better example by not exploiting others but looking out for others as well. In this way, more respect can be garnered from other countries and the world might not be as chaotic as today!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[without laws, there would be no law and order. law is a form of education to educate people of the do and duns. without law, many would be undisciplined and uncontrolled to do anything they please. this could turn the world into a havoc place. however, some laws can be abolish if they are too demanding so that the people are given more freedom. therefore, with the right laws and regulations, i believe a country or even the world can be peaceful and in harmony. 

regardindg the issues of having a united world, it all seems impossible. there are too many factors to consider. firstly, the powerful nations. they are powerful and they have the say. this might lead to some disagreements and hence, maybe a little of unhappiness. secondly. terrorism. with wars , who is happy? it just causes more unhappiness instead of peace. however, if countries get moer cooperative and are more willing to agree to talk peacefully over certain important issues, nothing is impossible.   on top of that, if more aid is given to the poor countries like africa, this could reduce the gap btw the rich and poor and hence,the world might be able to be more bonded together and help each other in many different aspects-economically , socially.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In my opinion, the world will change after 50 years.Like an old saying, nothing can ever last.Therefore,the world can never be the after 50 years.

Since the advent of technology, people's lives have became more comfortable and easier. However, we, as the children of mother nature, have not learnt to appreciate the beauty she has brought to us.We only know how to enjoy the benefits that technology has brought to us but not knowing the dangers that technology has brouht to our environment.

Air condition gets worsen, ice caps began to melt,greenhouse effect began to take place,and etc.All these problems are the &quot;side-effects&quot; of advancement of technology, so can all these &quot;side-effects&quot; prompt the people to care for the world before it changes to some place which you and i cannot even recognize?]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Imagine that you're a citizen in your own country, and you try to think : What does it mean to be a citizen of your own country? The first few things that would come to mind would be that &quot;I must be someone who contributes to my country.&quot; or &quot;I must be loyal to my country and must not betray my country.&quot; The same actually applies to being a global citizen. 

For me, i think that being a global citizen involves contribution not only to their own country, but to the world. Global means international, and being global citizens may mean everybody living under one roof. So, being a global citizen has a lot of meaning to it. Everyone respecting each other's religion, race, country and so much more, living in peace and prosperity, the world growing as one, that is what i think being a global citizen mean.]]></description>

Whether we advance and change our ways of getting energy, or totally ruin the world in to oblivion, there will be change and its our job to make that change. There have been starts of new hydrogen cars being trialed and other new sources of energy being found, but its only a start.

      <description><![CDATA[Personaly, I am not a religious person, but from what I have seen in others, religion is used as a catilyst for war, and an excuse for violence. Look back at wars, at genocide, the vast majority of these were some how, and are currently, connected to religion. One religion against the other because the other is different, and therefore must be a band of evil satanic devil worshipers. Witch burnings, genocide of jews in WWII, genocide attempts against Kurds, against people in Turkey, and currently throughout the world are fueled by religous excuses! Believe what you may about life, but do not judge other people based on their religion, for that is what causes violence. 

Just the other day, a friend of mines grandmother saw a picture of her grandaughter and her friends, and declared that everyone in the picture that did not have blue eyes and blonde hair was evil. Then she found out that one of those blonde haird blue eyed people was mormin, and stated that they to are evil, found out that from the head down one of those blonde haired blue eyed people was a goth, and in turn that they are evil,and so on. By the end of it (in the eyes of my friends grandmother) my friend is friends with a group of sinners and devil worshipers who all diserve to die. That is the kind of religious extremist views that can only lead to horrid things in the future. 

Then there is the topic of gay marrage. Personaly, I see nothing wrong with letting two pepole love eachother, and do not see why a religion would incourge people to break up love between people. 

There is also the mess that occurs when religion enters politics, with all the right wing religious people claiming that climate changes is not happening because a divine being will look after them! Religion, as it currently is, causes more problems then solutions.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Well, i would say that pollution is an inevitable problem that the world has to encounter. Isn't that true? Over the years, with the advanced technology, most of the work has been carried out using devices, machines etc. However, problems are also created at the same time.

And if you have read the news, the problem of air pollution in Hong Kong is worsening despite the Hong Kong's government's initiatives to curb the problem. Reports have shown, that the manufacturing industries have been contributing adversely to the air pollution, which explains the poor air in the country. 

Thus, I feel that in order to curb this problem effectively, surely every one has to do their part, especially the manufactury sector.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[To be a global citizenship, other than understanding people's way of life, cultures, beliefs and living together peacefully in society. We shloud also care and concern about the Earth.
I believe that there are many little things that we can do to save the earth. 
Although it might seems to be quite late in doing these prevention stuff now, but i think it is better to be late than NEVER.
When many people take many little steps, it becomes a huge step for humankind, and will cause the winds of change to start blowing.
If everyone could play this little role of saving the environment, we could at least prevent the earth from deterioating.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In my opinion, to be a global citizen is to keep in touch with the outside world.This could be done by getting hold of the latest worldwide news through various sources of mass media(newspaper,television,radio,magazines,films).      Indeed,it makes a person become more knowledeable and to be able to accept others'ideas.It makes one grows through learning from others.&quot;The World is Our Classroom&quot;.So,let our learning pathway keep revolving! Every resolution might allow us to gain new experience.                                            Also, a global citizen must participate enthusiatically and work as one with his or her home country to share the good and the bad with other countries.Cooperation and communication bonds countries from all over the world together and closes up the 'gaps' between countries.Between,the gaps refers to the differences in cultures and beliefs. What's more important,it leads to 'world peace' which nothing is more valuable than this,I believe.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In my opinion, before we even look at the environmental issues (the big picture), we should look at the social issues (which may seem to be small issues) first.

Ever the decades, technologies has improved. It has changed the way humans live, and also changed the attitude of humans. In the past, there are no obligations for women to work. Not that there is now, but more women have their ambitions to work. It's a good thing, but because some of these working women are too engrossed in their work, they often forget about their families, both married and non-married women. Married women might leave their child at home, neglecting them, and thus causing the adolescents that are causing trouble in society today. Hence, if we do not have these younger generations properly educated, how could we even depend on the younger generation to save the world?

I'm not pinpointing to any gender. Men also have problems. Men also caused some of these family problems. If not for lust, will the men even go to other women, commiting acts of infidelity, upsetting relationships with their wives, breaking up families, leaving the children to live on his/her own? If the child gets on the right path, he/she would most probably emerged as a strong person with a character. Otherwise, the child will just end up in the hands of those gangsters on the streets.

Perhaps this post may seem to be/is out of point, but it is also an issue which will shape the world in the next 50 years. Small issues may seem trivial for now, but in the long run, it makes a big difference.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I don;t know about you guys, but when I was little, during the time when poeple were anticipating to leap into the 20th century, I thought that by then things would be very different.

People would no longer fight and wage wars. Poverty and diseases will be a thing of the past. People will learn to live together and appreciate life. There would also be no pollution, no more harm done to the environment. Vehicles would be equipped with appropriate mechanisms to prevent excessive exhaust. But who cares abou the exhaust, when the vehicles would run on enrgy-efficient fuels that emit as much pollutants?

Well, the good news is that it's already 2006. But the bad news, is that things have been pretty much the same, or perhaps have become much worse.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I absolutely agree with Stephanie and Jaspreet i believe that in 50 years time our technology will be at its peak,although as we have said it will have its positives and negatives. 0ne important thing i believe is that as global citizens it might serperate us when peoples thoughts and opinions become differnt and divide us once again. One example is a close study we have done to D.N.A cloneing,Where  not all people dont believe that it is right to do such a thing and will make them therefore not wanted and truely out of place.
The world will never be the same as we all know everyday every second somthing is happening to change the world even by the most littlest thing. I would like to say that we are the ones who can change it and like many people have said if we saved that extra bit of water, if we don't pollut the earth what differnce could it make in the end im sure more than most of us think it would. 
On stephanies point i believe also that in the future to come poverty will decrease and their lives will be far better off than they are now. 
The most important aspect of looking 50 years down the track is what we are doing now whats goin to change whats happening in 50 years ?? what can we do from now untill 50 years ?? What can you do from now untill 50 years ?? 
Whats going to happn untill 50 years well no one knows although what is counted is what we are willing to do untill 50 years are up. How long are we gonna have to make a diffence before most people realise that they have taken our planet for granted.Not many people can be aware of these things thats why teaching the younger generation will prosper in the new age to come.

All there is too say really is who knows ???? = 0]]></description>

&gt; Today many people suffer from certain diseases
&gt; like asthma, bronchitis,TB, lung cancer etc. The
&gt; cause behind it is POLLUTION.We should use
&gt; Eco-friendly things.
&gt; for travelling a short distance we should walk or
&gt; go cycling and not use vehicles which consume
&gt; petrol.


I'm not denying this, but then again, to say that the above-mentioned diseases are mainly caused by pollution alone is biased. Besides, other factors also contribute to the spreading of these diseases such as one's lifestyle (smoking, alcohol, something that runs in the family generation, etc)

Ok, as for the part on using eco-friendly things, it may be possible to implement such a usage among the public. Of course, for such measures to work, people need to co-operate. This is one major issue that is still prevalent in our society today. Most of us realise the kind of harm that we are doing to the environment, and we know exactly what to do to prevent exceessive pollution. The problem begins with us givivng ourselevs excuses for not being faithful in what we do and carry out. 

Whether if it is about not littering in public, or whether if it is about power plants having to follow regulations to prevent excessive smoke and exhaust, it all boils down to one's own responsibility.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I agree with Jaspreet, i think technology will advance, which will influence the way children learn in school, work is carried out in the work place, and how operations are undertaken in hopitals etc. 

However there could be many downfalls to the advancement of technology, it could contrubte to wars aswell as terrorism. 

In terms of pollution, I believe that it may improve over many years, however it will definitly not happen over night. Developed nations have to work together and stop their current ways of life (in terms of pollution). 

I also believe poverty will decrease, many developed nations are helping developing nations, in terms of food, money, medical supplies and education so they can sustain a better quality of life.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I think it's a very sensitive issue. It's better not to comment on any religion. Everyone should follow their own religion and don't criticise other religion. But, again come back to what are issue is. We are not able to change people's mentality.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I think this is about making people aware that all castes are equal. I think in rural India we can do that. But there are so many riots and mobs in India on the basis of caste that it almost seems next to impossible. It's time to take action. Suggest ways???? It's no more a time for just discussing over the issue!!!!!!!]]></description>
