World Issues





ABOUT THE THEME

Whenever we watch or read the news, we are flooded with images of world issues, ranging from war to famine, from climate change to wide-spread diseases. The world can often appear to be in a real mess and the issues that fill our newspapers are often complicated. People respond to these issues in a variety of ways. Some people hold the belief that it’s not their problem. Others believe that they themselves are too insignificant, and that they can’t do much to change what’s happening. But some people believe they can make a difference. What do you think about many of today’s pressing issues, and how will the way you live your life affect the world around you?
