Global Food Crisis 2008

Last updated Sunday, August 10, 2008.The global food crisis that has made headlines in 2008 has been simmering for a while. The rise in food prices, affecting the poorest the most, has a variety of causes, mostly man-made. It has resulted in riots, an overthrow of a Prime Minister and many deaths, around the world. It has been common to attribute causes to things like overpopulation but that seems to miss the real causes as food levels continue to outstrip demand even in a growing population. While media reports have been concentrating on some of the immediate causes, it seems that deeper issues and causes have not been discussed as much.Read “Global Food Crisis 2008” to learn more.

Democracy

Posted Friday, July 04, 2008.Democracy is a valued principle, so much so that some people have sacrificed their lives to fight for it. While no system is perfect, it seems that democracy is once again under assault. What are the challenges posed in a democratic system and are established safeguards helping to strengthen democracy or are their forces successfully weakening it?Read “Democracy” to learn more.

Tobacco

Last updated Wednesday, July 02, 2008.In this section, we look at the example of tobacco consumption. Smoking kills millions. Furthermore, it exacerbates poverty, damages the environment, and (through diversion of land resources away from food production) contributes to world hunger.Read “Tobacco” to learn more.

US and Foreign Aid Assistance

Last updated Sunday, April 27, 2008.Since 1970, the world’s rich countries agreed to give 0.7% of their gross national income as official international development aid. Since that time, billions have certainly been given, but rarely have these rich nations actually met their agreed target. For example, the US is often the largest donor in dollar terms, but often ranks amongst the lowest in terms of meeting the stated 0.7% target. Furthermore, aid has often come with a price of its own for the developing nations. This article explores who has benefitted most from this aid, the recipients or the donors.Read “US and Foreign Aid Assistance” to learn more.

Illicit Drugs

Posted Sunday, March 30, 2008.The global illicit drugs market is enormous, estimated at some $320 billion. This makes it one of the largest businesses in the world. Some believe in strong prohibition enforcement. Others argue for decriminalization to minimize the crime and health effects associated with the market being controlled by criminals. Are there merits to each approach?Read “Illicit Drugs” to learn more.“If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence.” — Bertrand Russell, Roads to FreedomBookmark or share this with others using some popular social bookmarking web sites:DiggFacebookStumbleUpondel.icio.usRedditGoogle
