A Brief Note On The World 's Poorest People And Make Our World A Better Place

This goals were made in base of the millennium goals. This goals search to make a better world, bye make our cities more fair and sustainable. There are 17 goals, but we are only seeing four of them, this goals are, goal 5 (gender equality), goal 9 (industry, innovation and infrastructures), goal 10 (reduce inequalities) and goal 16 (peace, justice and strong institutions). But why I am talking about the Global Sustainable Development Goals? well now I am going to see the relationship between the GSDG and the myths of Romulus and Remus and Dido of Carthage.

The UN SDGs are a universal call to improve quality of life for everyone. There are 17 goals which provides guidelines for all countries to make choices that will improve the lives of their citizens in a sustainable way by reducing poverty, climate change, disaster risk, inequality, and encouraging peacebuilding.

goals in order to improve the standards we mark to meet in the world, specifically in today’s

There are a number of Non-governmental development organization (NGOs) operating in the developed and developing countries in order to eradicated poverty in the world. Among these NGOs two top NGDOs are Oxfam Australia and Save the Children Australia. (The Global Journal, 2012). Oxfam believes that poverty is indispensable and preventable and the causes of poverty are injustice and inequality but with the support the lives of poor people can be changed. Oxfam is assisting people through its long term solution to eliminate injustice, empowering people to have a prosperous future. Oxfam has a major goal brining a positive change in the lives of poor people and it has 12 other key goals. These key goals are part of Oxfam Strategic Plan 2009 -2014. (Oxfam, 2014). Key goals of Oxfam Australia are right to be listened, gender justice, protecting live, sustainable food, reasonable sharing of natural resources and financial assistance for development. Oxfam says that other six goals are focused on changing world which includes a globally influencing network, quality of program, accountability, investment on people, cost effectiveness and increase in income.

MDGs are millennium developmental goals. The UN adopted the SDGs; SDGs are sustainable developmental goals in 2016. Some of the goals were to get rid of extreme hunger and poverty by 2015. The other goals were to end hunger, achieve food security, and improve nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture. They hope to reach these goals by 2030.

Additional sources of information to help in answering the questions can be found in the textbook, particularly in chapters 11 and 13.

Goals are future plans and intentions of an individual. They are a fantastic motivational tool, not to mention that they give our lives a deeper sense of purpose. Striving for them and working hard to achieve them can give a roadmap to our actions, and by rearranging our existences around our ambitions, we run a lower risk of wandering off the metaphorical path or letting our short lives on this Earth end without completing all that we wanted to do. Modern civilization is set apart from long gone generations in this sense. While our ancestors were limited to hunting, gathering, and simply keeping the human race alive, the people of recent times are able to rely on those things to be done, and can instead focus on making their dreams a reality. I, too, have a set of goals for my own future.

Goal setting allows individuals to holistically evaluate if their goal is possible and what will be needed in order to obtain that goal. Setting goals allow individuals and groups to become better equipped to arrange timelines for the future. Along with establishing timelines, goals can be utilized as motivation for success or positive movements. In other words, motivation is the key to overcoming difficult obstacles when trying to obtain a goal. Also, setting goals will enable persons to evaluate whether their goal is attainable, considering what has already happened and the possibilities of the future. Specific and realistic goals for me include:

The MDG has provided the world with better ways to meet human needs and requirements of economic transformation, while protecting human rights, ensuring peace, and realizing human rights. Along with the many accomplishments that the MDG has achieved so far I think the two achievements that are most striking are, the amount of people that have gained access to piped drinking water, 2.3 billion in 1990 and increased to 4.2 billion in 2015. The MDG has allowed countries to have access to improved sanitation and drinking water. Another achievement that stood out to me in the overview is that in Northern Africa pregnant women received four or more antenatal visits, which increased from 50 percent to 89 percent between 1990 and 2014. This is drastic

Goals (SDGs) “will serve as a focal point for governments to hinge their policies to end

Many LDC¡¦s have been badly affected by wars. There have been many civil wars in Africa, caused by European empire-building in the nineteenth century. Several African races were joined into one country, but half a race was left in another country. These countries were still artificial countries after they achieved independence. One race was often badly treated by the ruling race, which resulted in civil war. This also happened in Europe since the various parts of Yugoslavia were given independence. LDC¡¦s also suffer from wars between different countries, such as: Ethiopia and Somalia, Afghanistan and Russia. There are wars caused by corruption and political differences too, for example:

Every city has poverty. Travel around the world, I bet it wouldn’t be difficult to find a city that doesn 't have an impoverished community. Poverty is a global issue, but most importantly it’s a local issue to me in the city that I live in. Among the 10 largest cities in America, Chicago has the third highest poverty rate with 40-60% of our residents living under the poverty level. People who live in poverty are given less opportunities, resources and tools than people who live in the middle or upper class. Poverty is not a pleasant subject, however, poverty is real. In the daily lives of the poor, poverty becomes a network of disadvantages. The end result is that there is a lack of access to education, employment, health care, affordable housing, proper sanitation and good nutrition among many generations of the poor (End Poverty). Of the issues associated with poverty, the lack of access to an education stands out to me the most. In Chicago, education is greatly valued and is vital for all development and growth achievements in people. Education is the process in which people gain knowledge, help form and shape attitudes and opinions, and allow people to gain a set of skills that they can further use in areas outside of a school environment. However, education systems in Chicago are taking a huge deficit due to the effects of poverty. The effects of poverty are already big factors toward the concern about Chicago, and why it is portrayed as negatively as it is, but those

The approval of the Millennium Declaration in 2000 didn’t go as smoothly as one would imagine it to be for such a visionary development agenda. MDGs critics underscored that chosen goals were not based on a comprehensive analytical work, while others emphasized the difficulty to measure progress against objectives and uneven progress. Indeed, there were significant disparities in progress towards the goals among the countries. China and India led the overall developmental progress, while poor countries like Benin were not on track to realize any.

The MDGs are considered an anti-poverty and a vehicle to communicate and promote the objective of ending global poverty since they refer directly to concrete human conditions which people can empathize with, they have quantified time-bound targets that can be monitored, and comprised of a short list of only eight goals (Fukuda-Parr & Hulme, 2011). Furthermore, Fukuda-Parr and Greenstein (2011) argue that MDGs are norms since they were adopted through a norm-setting process agreed upon by the 189 nations as well as numerical targets that make the objectives actionable. On the other hand, the MDGs have been greatly criticized for lagging behind in human rights priorities which in include the following: “omission of principles of equality and participation that is a cross-cutting principle of all human rights, scope that does not reflect the full scope of

At the start of the millennium, various United Nations (UN) partners came together to tackle some of the world’s deadliest and most pressing social and economic problems, and in doing so, established the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). In the past 15 years, the MDGs have been evaluated and re-evaluated. This year the UN has declared a new set of 17 goals for the next 15 years called the Sustainable Development Goals. The first issue on both agendas is the eradication of extreme poverty and hunger, a problem that is specifically significant for the entire continent of Africa.
