Addressing Social and Environmental Issues

Bullying: A Growing Concern

I think that bullying is an important problem in our country and society. Furthermore, bullying is dangerous for children and young people because their feelings at those ages are very sensitive. When children feel threatened, they don't know what to do and they can commit suicide or simply avoid society. Many children don't tell their parents when they are being bullied by other children in their school because they are frightened. Although, I'd like these children to be less afraid over time. Last month, I watched on TV an incident in a school in Spain. One boy killed a classmate because he thought that the boy was saying private things. In my opinion, adults should be careful with the bullying their children face.

Global Warming: A Call to Action

Everybody knows that global warming is a popular issue. According to some statistics, the Earth's temperature increases each year. What can we do to stop global warming? On one hand, I think that global warming should be reduced, as a result of this, there are many ecological disasters and many species are dying because they are left without habitat. On the other hand, the government should try to reduce the occurrence of excessive pollution to prevent the temperature from rising so fast. For example, by rewarding those who use bicycles to work or investing in reusable products. In addition, all people should collaborate. To sum up, I want to say again that global warming is a problem on which we must all work together to save our planet.

Domestic Violence: A Persistent Issue

Everybody knows that domestic violence is a popular issue. According to some statistics, one in ten women suffer from domestic violence. What can we do to stop domestic violence? On one hand, I think that domestic violence should be stopped and punished for justice. Many women continue to suffer in their homes and are still afraid of going out to the street. On the other hand, the government should, in order to reduce this fear, punish aggressors with more years in prison or monitor them more closely. To sum up, I want to say again that domestic violence should disappear forever.

Climate Change: A Planetary Emergency

Our politicians should take the initiative to try to solve problems relating to climate change, and accept that we are in a planetary emergency.
We cannot continue saying that the planet is very tough, what humans are doing to the Earth is insignificant compared to the changes experienced by natural causes, that there have been other notable changes in the composition of the atmosphere and in temperature.
But, as noted by the forecasters, the problem is not so much changes but the speed of them. And although in the fourth report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC, which is based still time to get slow down the effects of climate change. Any possible solution will only be effective if governments around the world are seriously committed to this end.
