Current world issues:The NBA lockout canceled their fisrt two weeks of their season. Steve Jobs died of respiratory arrest which means he just quit breathing. This was brought on by his cancer. Two U.N peacekeepers and a police officer of the Darfur Sudan, Africa were killed in an ambush. Many people are or have fleed. This ambush is maybe becasue of the differences between the black africans and the arab government but the attack is undecided about why they attacked. The millionaires on Wall Street were protested against by the people that arent as fortunate as them.We are doing some more millineum goal presentations today!Sara, Cass, and Macie: Gender equality means that men and woman have equal value not that they are the same but are treated the same. Target: by 2005 was to have all men and woman have the same jobs and be paid the same.; this means that they have not gottent the goal yet. So the target for 2015 is to eliminate gender disparity at all levels of education and empower woman. If this goal is met it could balance out the way that society is right not. It has men and woman work together on EVERY job. Like...in the household around the world woman arent seemed as important. They dont have the rights in their own home that they want. With the economy and markets they need access to having all types of jobs just like men. ANd with society woman could get more involved in politics; once they're in they could pass more laws to benefit woman. It's a goal becasue guys outnumber woman in the work force with money etc. And in some countries the girls are not allowed to have access to things like education, or jobs, ect. like men do. So, the main goal is that girls need to have the same chances and rights as men. For example, Title 9 in the United States. Title 9 said that there had to e the same amount of girl sports as boy sports in college and high school. Becasue before that, there weren't that many sports for girls and now there are and they have to give equal amount of scholarships etc. Probelms are that men outnumber woman and they are paid less and there are problems with getting girls into power.
