Group 2
The world today is interconnected more than ever,

making us all global citizens, responsible for the
myriad of challenges that face humanity. These
challenges, often referred to as global issues, cut
across national boundaries, affecting every
individual and society on the planet. They include
social, political, economic, and environmental
issues.
Group 2
Social issues encompass aspects like poverty, education,
health, and human rights, which directly impact the well-
being of individuals and communities. Political issues, on
the other hand, involve matters of governance, peace,
security, and international relations. Economic issues can
range from global trade, unemployment, debt, to economic
disparity and economic development. Environmental
issues cover areas such as climate change, biodiversity
loss, pollution, and sustainable development.
Group 2
As we move further into the 21st century, these

global issues continue to evolve, posing new
challenges that require innovative solutions.
Topics like climate change, digital privacy,
global health crises, and economic inequality
have become crucial issues of concern.

I.TYPES OF GLOBAL ISSUES
Social Issues
Social Issue refers to any condition or behavior
which has a negative impact on a large number
of people.

SOCIAL ISSUES
1.Poverty
Poverty is deprivation of those things that
determine the quality of life, including food,
clothing, shelter and safe drinking water, but also
such “intangibles” as the opportunity to learn and
to enjoy the respect of fellow citizen.
SOCIAL ISSUES
2. Racial Discrimination
•Treated People unfairly • Inequalities

•Race •Criminal System
•Skin Color • Housing
•Ethnicity • Jobs
•Education

SOCIAL ISSUES
3.Black Lives Matter
•Started in 2013
•After Death of Trayvon Martin, 17 Years Old African American
•Global Organization Goal of Black Lives Matter Organization
•Stop Violence Towards Black People
•Fight for Equality
•Non-violent protest and marches

POLITICAL ISSUES
Political Issues
Political Issue is one that has to do with
Government or Politics. Political Issues can be
defined as the conflicts of various types that
occur between individuals, organizations, states
and other actors.

POLITICAL ISSUES
Rights and Freedom
Political Stability
The standard definition of political instability
is the propensity of a government collapse either
because of conflicts or rampant competition
between various political parties.
ECONOMIC ISSUES
Economic Issues
An economic problem refers to any such
problem in the economy that is concerned
with the production of goods and services to
satisfy the unlimited wants of the economy
through the utilization of scarce resources.
ECONOMIC ISSUES
1.Economic Slowdown
A recession is a significant, widespread, and
prolonged downturn in economic activity. A
popular rule of thumb is that two consecutive
quarters of decline in gross domestic product
(GDP) constitute a recession.

ECONOMIC ISSUES
2. Increasing debt burden
A debt burden is a large amount of money
that one country or organization owes to
another and which they find very difficult to
repay.

ECONOMIC ISSUES
3. Inflation In economics
inflation is a general increase in the prices of
goods and services in an economy.

ECONOMIC ISSUES
4. Geopolitical Tensions Political
issues between or involving 2 or more
countries that cause tension or unrest. These
tensions can stem from several factors, but some
examples are power, trade, military activity,
climate change or a significant event like Brexit.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
Environmental issues
are defined as harmful effects to Earth and
its natural systems due to the actions of
humans.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
Global environmental problems involve one or more of the following:
1.Deforestation
2.Desertification
3.Rapid Population Growth
4.Food Production and Equitable Distribution
5.Global Warming
6.Depletion of the Atmospheric Ozone
7.Acid Precipitation and Air Pollution
8.Ocean Pollution

II. GLOBAL CHALLENGES
Climate Change
This refers to the long-term changes in
temperature and typical weather patterns in a
place.

Food
Food security, the access to sufficient and
nutritious food, is a growing concern due to
increasing population, changes in climate, and
issues of distribution and waste.

Health
Global health issues such as pandemics
(COVID-19), chronic diseases, and access to
healthcare services are prevalent challenges. This
also includes the development and distribution of
essential medicines and vaccines.

Human Migration
This involves the movement of people from one
place to another with intentions of settling temporarily
or permanently. It's often driven by factors like war,
political instability, economic conditions, or climate
change.

Poverty
Despite economic growth in many parts of the
world, poverty and income inequality remain
high. Poverty limits access to many basic
services and opportunities, such as education,
healthcare, and decent employment.

Education Inequality
Access to quality education is not evenly
distributed around the world. Factors such as
socio-economic status, gender, ethnicity, and
geographical location can impact an individual's
educational opportunities.

Gender Equality
Despite progress, gender inequality remains in
every country. Women and girls face
discrimination and violence, and often have less
access to education, healthcare, and employment
compared to men.

Security
This involves protection from dangers
affecting human existence, such as war,
terrorism, cyber attacks, and even food and
health security.

Water Scarcity
With increasing population and climate
change, clean and safe water is becoming scarce
in many parts of the world, affecting the health
and livelihood of billions of people.

AIDS
Despite advancements in treatment,
HIV/AIDS continues to be a major global
public health issue, having claimed more than
32 million lives so far.

Biodiversity Loss
The loss of biodiversity threatens
ecosystems upon which human life depends.
It's driven by factors like habitat loss, climate
change, invasive species, overexploitation,
and pollution.
Corruption
Corruption undermines political, economic,
social, and environmental development. It takes
many forms, like bribery, embezzlement, and
nepotism, affecting societies in multiple ways.

Decolonization
This refers to the process by which colonies
become independent of the colonizing country.
Decolonization has led to numerous challenges,
including political instability, economic difficulties,
and conflicts.

Governance
Effective governance is crucial for addressing
many global challenges. Poor governance can
lead to corruption, lack of accountability, and
social and economic disparities.

Human Rights
Violations of human rights, including civil,
political, economic, social, and cultural rights,
are widespread in many parts of the world. They
often go hand in hand with poverty,
discrimination, and conflict.
Ocean Acidification (CAMBE)
This is caused by increasing CO2 levels, which
make the oceans more acidic. This threatens
marine life, including coral reefs and shellfish,
which many communities rely on for food and
income.

Pandemic
A pandemic is a global outbreak of a disease. The
COVID-19 pandemic has shown the significant impact
such an event can have on health, economies, and social
structures worldwide.

Power and Governance
The distribution of power in governance affects how
decisions are made and who benefits from them. Inequalities
in power can lead to social and economic disparities.
Promote transparency and accountability in governance,
reduce political dynasties, strengthen democratic institutions,
and empower marginalized communities to participate in
decision-making processes.
Global Health
This refers to health issues that transcend
national borders, like pandemics, and the
efforts to improve health worldwide through
international cooperation.

Impact of Extreme Wealth Inequality
Wealth inequality can lead to social,
economic, and political instability. It can limit
economic growth, reduce social mobility, and
lead to poor governance.

Overpopulation
Overpopulation puts pressure on resources like
food, water, and energy. It can also lead to
overcrowding, increased waste, and environmental
degradation.

Pollution
Pollution, in all of its forms (air, water, soil,
noise), poses significant risks to the environment
and human health. It's largely driven by industrial
processes, vehicle emissions, waste disposal, and
other human activities.

III.GLOBAL ISSUES FOR THE 21 CENTURY
ST
In the 21st century, we face a range of

global issues that have significant impacts on
societies and the planet as a whole. These
issues are complex, interconnected, and
require collective action to address effectively.

ST
1. Climate Change:
The Earth's changing climate patterns due to human
activities, such as greenhouse gas emissions, are causing
rising temperatures, extreme weather events, sea-level
rise, and disruptions to ecosystems. Climate change
poses risks to food security, water resources, public
health, and vulnerable communities.
ST
2. Poverty and Inequality:

Despite progress in reducing poverty, a significant portion
of the global population still lives in extreme poverty, lacking
access to basic necessities such as food, clean water,
education, and healthcare. Income inequality and wealth
disparities also persist, leading to social unrest and limited
opportunities for marginalized groups.

ST
3. Conflict and Violence:

Armed conflicts, terrorism, civil wars, and political
instability continue to plague many regions, resulting in
displacement, loss of life, and humanitarian crises.
These conflicts often have complex underlying causes,
including ethnic, religious, and political tensions,
economic disparities, and competition over resources.
ST
4. Human Rights Violations:

Violations of human rights, including discrimination,
gender inequality, child labor, human trafficking, and
lack of access to education and healthcare, persist in
many parts of the world. Upholding and promoting
human rights are crucial for achieving social justice and
sustainable development.
ST
5. Global Health Challenges:

Infectious diseases, such as HIV/AIDS, malaria,
tuberculosis, and emerging pandemics like COVID-19,
pose significant threats to global health. Access to
healthcare, vaccination, sanitation, and healthcare
infrastructure are critical in addressing these challenges
and ensuring the well-being of populations worldwide.
ST
6. Food Security:
Despite advancements in agricultural practices,
a significant portion of the global population still
suffers from hunger and malnutrition. Factors such
as population growth, climate change,
unsustainable agricultural practices, and limited
access to resources contribute to food insecurity.
ST
7. Environmental Degradation:
The unsustainable use of natural resources,
deforestation, pollution, loss of biodiversity, and habitat
destruction have severe consequences for ecosystems
and the planet. Preserving and restoring ecosystems are
essential for maintaining biodiversity, mitigating climate
change, and ensuring the sustainability of natural
resources.
ST
8. Water Scarcity:
The growing demand for freshwater, coupled with
pollution, climate change, and inefficient water
management, has led to water scarcity in many regions.
Ensuring access to clean water and sustainable water
management practices are crucial for human well-being,
agriculture, and ecosystem health.

ST
9. Cybersecurity and Data Privacy:

With the increasing reliance on digital technologies,
cybersecurity threats, data breaches, and privacy
concerns have become significant global issues.
Protecting personal data, ensuring online security, and
addressing cybercrime are essential for maintaining trust
in the digital age.

ST
10. Technological Advancements and Ethics:

Rapid advancements in technologies such as artificial
intelligence, biotechnology, and automation raise ethical
concerns and the need for responsible innovation.
Balancing technological progress with ethical
considerations, privacy rights, and societal implications
is crucial for shaping a sustainable and equitable future.

IV.GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP RESPONSIBILITY
Global citizenship responsibility refers to

the recognition and practice of rights,
duties, and obligations that come with
being a part of the global community.

1. Awareness of Global Issues:

Global citizens are informed about issues
affecting the world, such as climate change,
poverty, inequality, human rights violations,
and global health challenges.

2. Cultural Sensitivity and Respect:

Understanding and respecting cultural
diversity is fundamental.

3. Environmental Stewardship:
Recognizing the Earth as our shared home,
global citizens are committed to protecting the
environment.

4. Support for Human Rights:

Global citizenship involves advocating
for and upholding human rights for all
individuals.

5. Active Engagement and Participation:

Global citizens actively engage in their
communities and the world to make a positive
impact.

6. Promotion of Peace and Conflict Resolution:

Global citizens work towards building a
peaceful world where conflicts are resolved
through dialogue and understanding rather than
violence.

7. Lifelong Learning:
Global citizens are committed to continuous
learning about the world and its complexities.

8. Responsible Consumption:
Recognizing the impact of their consumption
choices on the global economy and environment,
global citizens strive to make ethical and
sustainable choices in their daily lives, from
reducing waste to supporting fair trade and ethical
labor practices.
9. Advocacy and Mobilization:

Global citizens use their voice to
advocate for change on global issues.

10. Solidarity and Support for Global

Development:
Global citizens support efforts to
address global challenges and promote
development that benefits all.

Global citizenship responsibility calls for a

commitment to act for the greater good,
recognizing that our actions can have a far-
reaching impact on the global community. It
challenges individuals to think beyond their
immediate surroundings and contribute to building
a more just, sustainable, and peaceful world.
