Global issues that concern schools and society
Presented by: Lheandely Isagan

Climate Change
The global temperature are rising and are estimated to increase from 2.6 degrees
Celsius to 4.8 degrees Celsius by 2100. This would cause more severe weather, crises
with food and resources and the spread of diseases. The reduction of greenhouse
emissions and the spreading of education on the importance of going green can help
make a big difference. Lobbying governments and discussing policies to reduce carbon
emissions and encouraging reforestation is an effective way of making progress with
climate change.
Pollution
Pollution includes ocean litter,pesticides and fertilizers, air ,light and noise
pollution.clean water is essential for humans and animals and more than one billion
people don’t have access to clean water due to pollution from toxic substances, sewage
or industrial waste.

Unemployment
Without the necessary education and skills for employment, many people,
particularly 15 to 24 years old, struggle to find jobs and create a proper living for
themselves and their families. This leads to a lack of necessary resources, such as
enough food, clothing, transportation and proper living conditions.
The unemployment rate of the Philippines inched lower to 5.2 percent in the
march quarter of 2019 from 5.3 percent a year ago unemployment rate in the
Philippines averaged 8.34 percent from 1994 until 2019, reaching an all-time high of
13.90 percent in first quarter of 2000 and a record low of 4.70 percent in the fourth
quarter of 2016.
Government Corruption
Means of corruption include graft, bribery, embezzlement, backdoor deals,
nepotism, and patronage. Corruption is a major cause of poverty considering how it
affects the poor the most, eroding the political and economic development, democracy
and more. Corruption can be detrimental to the safety and well-being of citizens living
within the corrupted vicinity, and can cause an increase in violence and physical threats
without as much regulation in the government.
The Philippines ranked 94th out of 177 countries in Transparency International’s
2013 corruption index.
Malnourishment and Hunger

Currently there are 795 million people who do not have enough to eat. Long term
success to ending world hunger starts with ending poverty. By fighting poverty through
proper training for employment, education and the teaching of cooking and gardening
skills, people who are suffering will be more likely to get jobs, earn enough money to
buy food and even learn how to make their own food to save money.
Malnutrition, in all its forms, include under nutrition (wasting, stunting,
underweight), inadequate vitamins or minerals, overweight, obesity, and resulting diet-
related non-communicable diseases.
The planet creates more than enough food to meet everyone’s needs. But there
are still millions of hungry people in the world.
Substance Abuse
Substance abuse is “the harmful or hazardous use of psychoactive substances,
including alcohol and illicit drugs” (World Health Organization) The United Nations
reports that, by the beginning of the 21 st century, an estimated 185 million people over
the age of 15 were consuming drugs globally. The drugs most commonly used are
marijuana, cocaine, alcohol, amphetamine stimulants, opiates and volatile solvents.
Different classes of people, both poor and rich, partake in substance abuse, and it is a
persistent issue throughout the world but the developing world, marginalized groups and
communities are the most vulnerable to this reality. The Philippines face this huge
problem on substance abuse.
Terrorism
Terrorism is an issue throughout the world the causes fear and insecurity,
violence and death. Across the globe, terrorists attack innocent people, often without
warning. This makes civilians feel defenseless in their everyday lives. Making national
security a higher priority is key in combating terrorism, as well as promoting justice in
wrong doings to illustrate the enforcement of the law and the serious punishments for
terror crimes.
