1. Terrorism

Today, terrorism is associated with warlike activities that violate human and civil rights. The United States has been at the head of the anti-terrorist movement after 9/11 disaster. It has taken a burdensome mission to lead the global anti-terrorist movement, with the enemy invisible, hidden, and unpredictable. This mission gave birth to many mistakes and distorted the idea of a noble peace-making mission. Civilian populations in Iraque and Afghanistan got involved; no progress was made against terrorism as the evil of the 21st century. Notorious violations of civil and human rights in Iraque ended in many protests, especially in the Muslim world.

Terrorism is the plaque of the 21st century. Global mass media terrorize populations with the reports of shocking terrorist attacks. But the roots of terrorism remain untouched. Yet, terrorism may be viewed from the three perspectives. Terrorists defend their civil and human rights, they fight against injustice and discrimination. This is their story that must be heard. Victims suffer physically and psychologically from terrorist activities. They experience pressure, instability, danger, and unsafety. For them, terrorists are criminals that deliberately take away human lives. The public opinion depends on the attitude to either terrorists or victims. In the Muslim world terrorists may be treated as victims. In the rest of the world terrorists are considered to be criminals whose acts of severe violence must be punished.

2. Global Warming

The global warming is one of the problems which the whole world is aware about. It can be said that it is the product of the society’s development without giving much concern to the nature. Every now and then the countries are addressing this problem to try and find out a solution to this problem. The recent studies in this sphere have proved beyond the shadow of any doubt that the temperature of the atmosphere is increasing each year. The increase in the amount of carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere is considered as the most contributing reason for this global phenomenon. This has caused an increase of the temperature by about 1 degree Fahrenheit per year. If the things will continue going this way, it will result in the complete melting of the polar ice caps. The immediate outcome of this would be the rise in the sea levels. The countries which are having large coastal areas will be the first to suffer from it.

It is not just the responsibility of the various governments to take steps for preventing this. It is high-time to make strong decisions and unite in order to protect our land and the planet from dilapidation. Each one of us has the duty to do what we can, to prevent this imminent disaster. Some simple steps are enough to be taken in order to prevent this big problem. One of them is to plant more trees. This can decrease the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere.
