This article is talking about the ukraine and russia having disagreements between gas. Ukraine and russia had a signed agreement between the prime ministers. Europeans got mad and had thoughts of diversifying there gas. It continues on to say that they have resolved the problem at hand but think it wont be long unitl there back at each others.
3)Ithink the Ukraine needs to stop being stingy and give up more gas.
4)Even though they have already found a solution I think that Russia shoulkd stay strong and try and get what they want with out getting jipped.
5)As the article says i think either ukraine or Russia will come to another disagreement and start fighting.

4. The relationship between Mexico and the U.S. are negative and positive. It's negative due to the drug transportations.To help Mexico combat drug-trafficking, the United States released $197 million last December, the first part of a $400- million anti-crime and anti-drug-trafficking program
5. What other information did you discover about this country from reading the article include that Over the last two years, Mexico send more than 40,000 troops, along with federal police, to track down their drug gangs.

1. Mexico has a federal republic based government.
2. President Felipe Calderon
3. During this time in Mexico, the drug war still goes on. Killing innocent victims through it all.
4. Like Mexico, the United States is having problems in the violence area as well. Innocent people dying in the same way as in Mexico.
5. I didn’t really find any similarities, because are drug dealing is not as huge as in Mexico, and like any other leader president Felipe Calderon is trying to find away to stop the drug war.

3. Like any other the country in this time, Mexico is in a financial crisis, so there asking for money from the IMF in order to support the reserve of central banks.
4. Like Mexico, we are in a financial crisis as well. Borrowing money in order to bell out bank, and high marketed industry.
5. I found out, that we are the only ones in a financial despite. Mexico is also looking for ways to bail out, and obtain more money

Canada’s stocks haven’t risen since last month’s gain. The stocks increased a great amount of more than 2.3 percent. The growth was triggered by the U.S. home sales and manufacturing signaled a growth in Canada’s biggest trade market.
3. By sticking to ever their doing now, they could possible take the U.S. out of the financial crisis.
4. Keep the home and manufacturing sales.
5. I feel that we can possibly change the financial crisis, making it into a more better growth in stocks.

Canada will unwillingly pay the U.S. C$50 million for trade agreement involving softwood lumber exports. They will pay the U.S. instead of surcharge on lumber.

Australia’s climate negotiator urges them to take order before global warming takes over. Climates are expected to rise after 2012. The climate negotiators asks that we take charge instead of waiting and seeing what happens.
2. The whole world is involved to stop global warming. Australia is a federal parliamentary democracy (a government that is based on the liberal democratic tradition, which includes religious tolerance and freedom of speech and association. Its institutions and practices reflect British and North American models but are uniquely Australian).
3. The world needs to take action before global warming takes over
4. For everyone to GO GREEN!

A report suggests that Canada's border agency allowed some strategic nuclear and military equipment to leave the country without checking if rogue countries or terrorists are the buyers. Exporters of strategic equipment that's subject to strict controls too often file their own paperwork; they continue to have a choice of submitting their export declaration in paper format. The United States and the European Union call for an end to paper work, and require all export declarations to be made electronically in advance of shipping. Investigators found that some truck drivers cheat by using the same photocopied paper form for different export shipments.
3) The agency says it will produce a study by October on how to eliminate paper forms and tighten security. To prevents potential terrorist threats from entering the United States from Canada.
4) The best thing to do is to tighten up security to prevent risk of other terrorist attacks.
5)If what was promised I would say that everything will work out well, in the long run.
1.Canada’s type of government is federal parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy.
2.Women are under represented in the top jobs. According to a study women hold fewer than 17 percent of executive positions, even though the number of female executives grew up by a two percent over the last two years. Forty percent of women earn the majority of University degrees, but still men are the ones who own the jobs in top companies. The study shows that there has not been an increase in number of women holding a top job, but there has been an increment in the private companies. http://working.canada.com/resource/story.html?id=902f34c9
3.Companies in Canada can start looking at the studies that show that women are as well or better prepared to take an important job.
4.I think this problem could be solved by hiring more women in any type of company whether it’s a very important one or not.
5.I think that men will always be seen as better and it might not change soon, but I would like that in sometime in the future women will have the same opportunities as men.

Europe
1. The Netherlands has a constitutional monarchy.
2. Amsterdam officials are not giving up on hope of having a North-South metro line. The commission of the parliament is still debating how to continue with construction of the metro line.
3. The major setback is that the construction will greatly affect and destroy many homes along a center street. Also funding has been an issue. Some Democrats have asked that the construction project shouldn’t be taking the government’s funding.
4. There should be a countrywide poll to decide whether to continue construction or not.
5. The government will use tax dollars to proceed with the installment of the metro line.
1. Italy has a republic type of government which means the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who can elect people to represent them. Italy’s chief of state is Giorgio Napolitano, and has a Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.

It seems the recession has been hitting Italy as well as the U.S. This article was about a shareholder of Alitalia, which is an airline of Italy’s, suing the premier Silvio Berlusconi. The whole argument was that Air France KLM was going to buy out Alitalia before it went bankrupt, but then Berlusconi said the offer was unacceptable. He then later changed his views and allowed the stock to be liquidated and bought out for around 1.052 billion euros still leaving them in 2 billion dollars in debt.
3. There really is no solution to this problem. It seems a little scandalous what Berlusconi did and there is little to do after the fact
4. The only solution I see to Berlusconi’s problems is for him to come open about his actions and explain them.
5. To me, this whole dilemma seems very sketchy. The fact that it is the Prime Minister who is caught up in all this scandal makes it even worse. I don’t foresee a happy ending for Berlusconi.

Russia

2.Russia’s capital hopes that the political situation in the Czech Republic won’t affect the planned Russia European union.The Czech Republic holds the presidency of the EU, but his government lost a vote of no confidence. Russia hopes that the situation won’t affect the intensity of the political dialogue between Russia and the EU, and won’t disturb the events planned during the Czech presidency. President Vaclav Klaus notified the Russians that he will represent the European Union. The plan was to station an U.S. radar in Prague, Czech Republic. Moscow sees no problem deploying the missile defense system of the country.
3.I think the solution has already been made, because President Vaclav Klaus has already taken responsibility for the EU presidency.
4.I think the best thing to do is to pick a good representative for the EU.
5.My prediction for this problem is that they will eventually deploy the defense system of the country.

1.The article was about Coca Cola and its advertisements within Australia. The article was all about how Coca Cola was told to correct its advertising faults within Australian newspapers. The reason why is because Coca Cola claimed that its soda does not contribute to obesity and tooth decay.
2.Australia is a Federal Democracy, but this article has no real global threat unless you are counting obesity as one.
3.The main thing that Australia did was tell Coca Cola to fix what they had placed within Australian newspapers.
4.The best solution is to have a health expert prove that Coca Cola does in fact help lead to obesity and tooth decay.
5.What I predict is that they will change what they have said and will continue to make millions of dollars.

3.The choice they have it to make a ban on allowing delivery trucks to deliver there goods through the city.
4.The best solution would be to have an on duty police officer or create an alternative rural route so that pedestrians will not get injured.

3.The choice that this government has is to try this man accused. They will accuse him of murdering Jews while being a guard at a concentration camp.

This article was talking about how the nation of Australia’s defense members might buy several helicopters that are flown by remote control. They are buying them incase something happens to put them in to wartime. The problems they face are accidental civilian casualties.
2) The nations involved are anyone against Australia and of course Australia itself. Their government is Federal parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy. This is a democracy that is also a monarchy.
3) Australia can either not buy these helicopters or make sure they are being safe about the way they handle things.
4) I think the best solution would be to not buy them and train their helicopter pilots better. I think risking innocent people’s lives is unnecessary.
5) I think they will wind up buying them, but no one wages war on Australia so I’m not too worried about people getting hurt
1.this articles talked about how humans are affecting apes by buying cell phones. the products and you think it is a lump of plastic and metal but in terms of each cell phone within the transistor has a small mineral called coltan. wich can be found in the gorilla habitat region
2. other nations that would be involved in this also would be africa because the gorilla is from Africa be a representative in Australia talks to defend the gorrilas
3. well the colton tha is found in the gorrillas habitat is not just used in cell phones but it affects the gorillas
4. the solution i would say would be that the police should protect the gorillas habiatas more better and make cell phones with other kinds of material
5. to change material to produce more cell phones and increease technology by not harming orther animals

1. The article is talking about relationship that Australia and Indonesia are forming through sports. Although in 2002 the Bali bombings killed 88 Australians including some young sportsmen which marked the start of a new era of cooperation. The cooperation between the two countries is going very well, and their relationship through sports is helping maintain a relaxed and friendly relationship.

Indonesia- Republic- a representative democracy in which the people's elected deputies (representatives), not the people themselves, vote on legislation.
3. To continue building their relationship through sports, because that will help both countries maintain peace, and they should also continue helping out each other’s countries.
4. they should do the tournament because it going make money throught that.
5. I believe the situation between the two countries will only get better if they continue forming sports tournaments.

a. Current Event #1 – Mexico
i. Find a current event in which the government of Mexico is the topic of discussion and identify the following:
1. What form of government do they have (Democracy, Communist Dictatorship, Confederation, Socialist, etc.)?federal republic its like federalism
2. Who leads their government (President, King, Senate, Dictator, etc)?President Felipe Calderon
3. What issues are they facing (as discussed in the article)?One of the issues they are facing Is poverty.
4. What relationships do they have with the United States (economic, political, cultural, etc.), and how do those relationships influence us and them either positively, negatively, or a bit of both?
The relationship between the United States and Mexico is becoming stronger. Both Mexico and the United States deal with immigration. Many drugs are sneaked into the United States from Mexico and that influences the United States greatly. Mexico and the United States have many different relationships with each other, but the crime influences us in a negative way. There are many violent deaths in both the United States and Mexico because of drug gangs smuggling drugs into the United States and smuggling weapons into Mexico from the United States.
5. What other information did you discover about this country from reading the article (include similarities and differences between our government and way and life with theirs)? Some of the similarities between the US and Mexico has to do with the life expectancy which are both around 76. Our governments are fairly similar, as we both are independent nations. The economies are also similar as they are both free market trade. The main differences have to do with the corruption of government, and the state fear its citizens live in due to the drug cartel.

1. Science today thinks that by the end of this century lakes and streams on one-fourth of the african continent could be drying up because of the rising temperatures. Since the ice sheets are melting so fast it is causing the sea level to rise 0.4 millimeters a year. The ice sheets are are getting ahead of schedule than they had predicted. They predict that the ice sheets melting is not going to stop in the next couple of years.

5. I think that it will all melt and all the animals that need the ice will become extinct. =(

1.The government of France is a semi-presidential system determined by the French Constitution of the fifth Republic, in which the nation declares itself to be "an indivisible, secular, democratic, and social Republic".
2.http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art37260.asp
Various journalists describe immigrants as disenfranchised and systematically rejected by French society. Many articles note that “guest workers” are maltreated in all developing nations. There are many fearful suggestions to tighten borders, restrict immigrants, and curtail benefits to the poor. These “solutions” are really just more ways to punish the poor for being poor.It is an issue of treating all people with dignity. America, as well as France, needs to address these inequalities of opportunity if we are to truly claim to be “free” societies.
3. This is a problem that is affecting the U.S. as well and it has been a problem for a long time. I don't think that the problem will get solved soon.
4. It's kind of hard to pick sides because when you hear reasons you seem to be ably to agree with both sides.
5. Later on I feel there will be a solution that will make both sides happy and will have them understand each other rather than having them try and get rid of each other.

Portugal's leading cause of death is strokes. The reason for this is salt consumption. Most of the meals eaten contain bread and the bread has a big amount of salt.
3.According to the Portuguese society if they reduce one gram of salt a day it could save 2650 people. The Socialist Party submitted a bill that calls for salt content to be cut to 14 grams per kg.
4. Cutting down on so much bread will help people be saved. They do not have to give it up completely they just have to ease up on their meals.
5. I think they are going to pass the bill and cut down on the salt. It will make a big difference and most people in portugal will be saved.

The Trade Minister of Canada, Stockwell Day, is on a week long trip to visit China to discuss the topic of Trade between Canada and China. Stockwell Day is visiting China to discuss the topic of trade between the two countries and is also making foreign relationships between China and Canada much stronger. Stockwell Day met with some of the most important leaders in China and now is making trade with China and Canada stronger than ever. The Trade Minister also suggested putting Canada on their list of approved travel destinations. Canada exports to China were about $10.4 billion in total in 2008 and they plan to improve those numbers by this and next year. They discussed the topics of aerospace, agriculture, educations, construction, oil, gas, communications and pharmaceuticals.
3.)
Both Canada and China have the option of openly trading between the two countries more and making traveling easier between both of the countries.
4.)
The solution to the problem is to allow both countries to import and export to each other freely. Also if China allowed its citizens to freely travel to Canada and if Canadians were allowed to travel to China more frequently.
5.)
I believe that the situation of trade between the two countries will improve and maybe people from China will be able to travel to Canada. Both the economies of China and Canada will improve from this event in the future.

Canada will provide about four billion Canadian dollars in aid to the automotive industry, which is about $3.3 billion U.S. dollars. Canada promised to aid the automotive industry for about a fraction of what the United States gave to them. Many of the people who live in Canada rely on their jobs in the automotive industry for their source of income. The Canadian government wants to protect their economy from a recession and to protect their citizens from losing their jobs. Canada hopes for this bailout to come out very well and if this does not work, then they are prepared to loan out more money in aid.
3.)
The only choice that Canada has in hopes of protecting their economy and their citizens from losing their job is to aid the automotive industry. They can also help make programs for people who lost their jobs in the automotive industry.
4.)
I believe that this is the only solution to helping their citizens from losing their jobs at the automotive industry and to protect their economy.
5.)
My prediction on the situation is that it might turn out well or it might not, it all depends how the automotive industries in the United States use the bailout money they are given to help protect jobs.

3) I think if they are in there to help Afghanistan, they can in fact do great things. But if they have alternative motives, I think they should leave instead of cause more fighting.
4) I think the best solution would be to each the Afghan army how to fend for themselves and then leave.
5) The future is unclear to me with this situation. I’m not sure if they’re there for the right reasons.

Researchers have also figured out that West Antarctica and east antarctica are very diffrent from eachother. west antarctica is about 4,000 feet lower than the east. they believed the continent was cooling because of the hole in the ozone layer but the continent is actually getting a lot warmer. they say the hole in the ozone layer can be fixed sometime this century so the whole continent can warm at the same time along with the rest.

1. Canada’s government is a constitutional monarchy that is also a parliamentary democracy and a federation.
Constitutional monarchy is a system of government in which a monarch is guided by a constitution whereby his/her rights, duties, and responsibilities are spelled out in written law or by custom.
Parliamentary democracy is a political system in which the legislature (parliament) selects the government - a prime minister, premier, or chancellor along with the cabinet ministers - according to party strength as expressed in elections; by this system, the government acquires a dual responsibility: to the people as well as to the parliament.
Federation is a form of government in which sovereign power is formally divided - usually by means of a constitution - between a central authority and a number of constituent regions (states, colonies, or provinces) so that each region retains some management of its internal affairs; differs from a confederacy in that the central government exerts influence directly upon both individuals as well as upon the regional units.

4. Damage was already done so you cant really solve anything.
5. I think that on the next event like this happens people would actually respond to the notice that the government gives because now they have an example of what could happen.
1. Canada's government is constitutional monarchy(A monarchy in which the powers of the ruler are restricted to those granted under the constitution and laws of the nation.)
2.Unemployment rate for Canada jumped the highest level in seven years. Toronto lost 61,300 jobs in March. This loss brought Canada's official unemployment rate to 8 percent.
3. At this point Canada doesn't really have any options than to do plans for job programs.
4. I think that the best solution would be to do what the United states is trying to do.
5. I think that every country that is having economic should do the same.

CURRENT EVENT NUMERO UNO: MEXICO J
first current event for ½ credit
!. Mexico’s government is a federal republic.
A form of government made up of a federal state with a constitution and self-governing subunits
2.Currently the prez is Felipe de Jesus Calderon Hinojosa
3.Mexico has and is infamous for it’s drug trafficking problems and it’s undeniable corruption within it’s government. It is currently one of the US main supplier of substances like marijuana which is illegal! The high drug activity rate also is causing a high crime and violence rate in Mexico.
4.Mexico and the US are obviously connected. Immigration is at it’s highest and with the drug ties with these two countries the possibility of drug trafficking is undeniable. Mexico again is one of the main suppliers of marijuana and also of methamphetamine to the United States of America.
5. The US and Mexico share some similarities as well as differences. Both are free market trade economies and are independent nations. The US economy is more stable than Mexico and is not as noticeably corrupt as that of Mexico. Mexico is dealing with high tension within the economy due to the drug cartel and the corruption within it’s government.

2. Currently, the prez is Felipe de Jesus Calderon Hinojosa.
3. This article deals with the fight Mexico is having with organized crime such as drug trafficking and the violent kidnappings. Fernando Gomez the new Interior Minister of Mexico is pushing for judicial reforms in attempt to aid the desperate situation. The police have recently broken up kidnapping gangs and are fighting the war against this organized crime aggressively in hopes of curing the plague of violence this country is in the midst of.
4.An obvious tie with the two counties is immigration. Immigration rates are high and are under major radar by the United States at the moment. The is no main negative tie between these two countries besides the narcotic supply from Mexico.
I discovered the severity of corruption within Mexico. It is not as evident here in the States and is a sad example of a weak government. Mexico is however a strong and crucial country as is the U.S. I also learned that with the aggressiveness that Mexico is dealing with it’s current problems the economy should be strengthened over some time.

1. In Australia they are mourning the many deaths of the terrible bushfires and attempting to create an early warning plan to avoid further disasters such as the one in the state of Victoria. The fires have caused a death toll that is quickly passing 200 and has left almost 2,000 homeless.( http://uk.reuters.com/article/UKNews1/idUKTRE51C71E20090215)(
2. Australia’s form of government is a Constitutional Monarchy. This is a monarchy in which the powers of the ruler are restricted to those granted under the constitution and laws of the nation.
3. 3.Sadly, the government had delayed possible early warning plans and is now adamant that they will put one in motion after this unfortunate event.
4. I believe that the obvious solution would be to create a solid early warning plan to prevent further tragedy in this country. I also believe that the government should take this as a strong warning of their lack of initiative and their procrastination and it’s devastating consequences.
5. I predict that Australia will shape up after such a traumatic experience and will quickly but carefully put a plan in motion to not only prevent future occurrences but to soothe public grief and anxiety.

1. A major glacier in Antarctica has vanished and many others have. This is significant because the shift from these could pose as a problem to the society. (http://uk.reuters.com/article/environmentNews/idUKTRE5383Y720090409)
2. Antarctica is closely watched by the U.S. due to it’s role in atmospheric temperature. Antarctica’s form of government is shown in the Antarctic Treaty, which shows the way it is to be governed.
3. Due to it’s interesting climate many countries are researching ways to aid the situation before problems arise. The United States is closely following the status of Antarctica and will more than likely have a possible solution to its problem.
4. I think much research has to be done before a possible solution can be put in motion. This will take the work of many researchers and some time.
5. I believe that because of it’s unique conditions it may take a significant amount of time.

1. Canada’s form of government is a constitutional monarchy and also a parliamentary democracy. They don’t have as many rights as the US has: they don’t have the right to vote, the government makes the majority of the decisions
2. In Canada it is evident that smoking marijuana is much more common than here in America. In British Columbia there are many harvests of marijuana and there is suspicion that it may be one of the largest of the industry.(http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4620272.stm)
3. Canada’s government is not in the dark about this matter and may be wise in choosing to legalize the substance and gain some money by taxing it.
4. My opinion the matter of marijuana is a tricky one. The legalization of the substance may just solve all problem and relieve all the crime and drug trafficking brought about by it being illegal.
5. My prediction is that until the government is more firm and places a set of plans to help solve this nothing will change. People will continue to grow and sell the greens.

1. Canada’s form of government is a constitutional monarchy and also a parliamentary democracy. They don’t have as many rights as the US has: they don’t have the right to vote, the government makes the majority of the decisions
2. This article serves as a warning to the people of Canada to avoid travel to Mexico due to the drug cartel.
3. The choice the nation has to make is to do everything in their power to avoid their citizens from traveling to this place.
4. The humor in the article is that drug trafficking is very much real in Canada as you can see from the previous article. The best solution would be to continue to aggressively advise the citizens of the serious dangers they may encounter.
5. I believe that the individual citizen will ultimately decide if they will risk their safety. There is only so much the government can do.

2. The main concern in this article is the economies sad effect on job cuts. The technology firm NRC will be cutting a significant amount of jobs and blames it on the failed economy.( http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art37260.asp)
3. They plan to enforce a stimulus package which will boost the economy. Realistically this is a risky plan and does not guarantee results.
4. I believe that a wise solution would be to create jobs rather than throw money into the economy. Creating jobs would not only better the economy but encourage the economy in tough times.
5. My prediction is that things may slightly improve but other ways of improvement must be found in order to guarantee steady and stable improvement in the economy.

1. Spain’s form of government is a parliamentary monarchy.
2. Spain is ready to tear down its very last statue of General Franco a past dictator. The statue will be stored and moved to a military museum. Due to a law made in 2007 the statue and any symbol of representation of the dictator. Loyal supporters are angered from this and are attempting to regain such valuable monuments.(http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article5912474.ece)
3. Spain has made a choice to remove the statue and it is understandable. It is now a law and should be dealt with as a legal matter.
4. I fully agree with the decision Spain has made and have taken into account the view of the supporters of Franco.
5. My prediction is that the matter is simple. You either see Franco as a positive representation of Spain or as a negative dictator. However, a law has already been passed therefore it is a done deal.

3.This nation is making a wise choice to globalize their produce and I see only a positive effect from it.
4. Russia will be making a substantial profit from this decision.
5. Natural gas is quickly becoming popular around the world so they are fortunate to have made this decision at such a crucial time. My prediction is that they will surely benefit from the globalization.

Australia:
1. Australia has a federal parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy. This means that they are under federalism and the separation of powers into legislative, executive and judiciary branches of government.
2. http://uk.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUKTRE53D06820090414. This article is about how the Australian Government wants sanctions against Fiji’s military government. The reason for this being that the current President repealed the constitution and reinstated the military chief as the Prime Minister. This has turned Fiji back into a dictatorship, which in turn will impact the people of Fiji, which what Australia is trying to prevent. There was a meeting between the Prime Minister of Australia and the Foreign Minister of New Zealand where they determined Fiji is under a military dictatorship.
3. To solve this problem one of the larger countries such as Australia needs to step in and help Fiji build a government once and for all. A government, which will last, thought he years and allow the people of Fiji to feel safe in their countries.
4. I think the best solution for this problem would be for Australia to come up with a plan and present it to the Fijian government whatever piece of it still exists and make sure the military doesn’t get a grasp on the country anymore then they already have.
5. I think this situation can be solved if handle correctly otherwise it could turn into a serious problem between the people who are in that region.

Europe:
1. Italy has a Parliamentary Republic, which, is a form of government that has no true definition between the legislative and executive branch. However, there is a difference between the head of state and the head of government. The current president of Italy is Giorgio Napolitano and the Prime Minster is Silvio Berlusconi.
2. http://www.voanews.com/english/2009-04-12-voa20.cfm. This article was about the 6.3 magnitude earthquake, which hit Italy on Monday. The country is still in a state of shock even thought the Prime Minister has said the state of emergency is over. Easter Sunday was a solemn day as more than 10,000 people in tents were camped out. They were fed a traditional Italian meal. With the death toll rising to 294 and counting the country has to come together. This is the worst earthquake Italy has seen in over 30 years.
3. To solve this problem of all the homeless they need to start the clean up in the cities which were damaged so that the people who reside their can start to get back to a normal life after this tragedy.
4. I think the best solution to this problem is to get everyone together and clean and rebuild. It is going to take some time to get everything back to normal if that is even a possibility but when a nation comes together anything is possible.
5. I think this situation will resolve itself. The people will move back into their homes and life will seem to be back to normal until another natural disaster hits when they will have to start all over again.

Antarctica:
1. Antarctica doesn’t have a system of government. It is considered an unofficial government because there are no laws, jails, police, congress or elections. They make decisions through the Antarctica Treaty which has regularly schedule meetings.
2. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/2009/04/14/antarctica-may-soon-be-off-limits-to-some-tourists/. This article has to do with the tourism through Antarctica being cut down in an effort to preserve wild life. This is in turn because of the effect global warming is having on the fragile region. Senator Hilary Clinton has purposed that due to the recent crash of two oil freight ships, tourism should be controlled. She purposed that for a time being a banned should be placed on the region limiting the large cruise ships from entering the territory. A decision will be met at the next Antarctica Treaty meeting.
3. To solve this problem I believe it would be a good idea to limit the size of boats so less pollution will be brought in and it will also help save the wildlife. I think if this happens it will also cut down on the accidents caused in that region between other boats.
4. The best solution to this problem is to monitor the boats and passengers which are entering Antarctica and help preserve its delicate wild life.
5. I think the situation will only be solved only if people like Senator Clinton take a stand against this situation otherwise this situation will worsen and the wildlife will not preserved.
Mexico:
1. Mexico is under a Federal Presidential Republic, this type of government is representative, republican, and democratic in a presidential system. The current President is Felipe Calderon.
2. http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSTRE53E01620090415. The poverty rates in Mexico are rising. It is said that this is the worse recession Mexico has seen since the mid-1990. Between 4 and 5 million people in Mexico and living in poverty. The jobs are no longer there it is forcing the people of Mexico to cut back on their food budget and eat mostly rice and beans because meat is too expensive to buy. The government has asked for a $47 billion dollar advance to help its economy but it has yet to be approved. Since America is Mexico’s number one exporter with 80% the recession in America has not helped their situation.
3. To solve this problem they need to come up with some sort of plan in order to help the people of Mexico be able to survive until the recession is over.
4. The best solution would to have had a backup plan so that this wouldn’t have happened in the first place and to also have not relayed so much on one country for your income.
5. I think this situation will be resolved when the rest of the world comes back from the slumps and the economy rests itself.
Mexico:
1. Mexico is under a Federal Presidential Republic, this type of government is representative, republican, and democratic in a presidential system. The current President is Felipe Calderon.
2. http://www.voanews.com/english/2009-04-14-voa37.cfm. This article is about the recently scheduled trip of President Barack Obama to Mexico City. He plans on meeting with the President of Mexico Felipe Calderon to discuss Mexico’s economic situation, the illegal traffic of narcotics into the U.S., and illegal immigration. It is also stated that there may be some new trade agreements made between the U.S. and Mexico.
3. To solve this problem it will take the U.S. and Mexico government working together to catch the drug traffickers, illegal immigrants, and to control the economic situation between them.
4. The best solution to this problem would be to make plan that both countries could agree upon and would actually work to solve the problem.
5. This situation will not be resolved until the United States and Mexico come to an agreement and both parties follow through.
Australia:
1. Australia has a federal parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy. This means that they are under federalism and the separation of powers into legislative, executive and judiciary branches of government.
2. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601102&sid=axqLPr7PUAZM&refer=uk. This article is talking about Australia’s largest airline carrier Qantas cutting back 1,750 jobs which will be their second job cut in the last six months. This company is based in Sydney and has lost $187 million dollars in revue in 2009. They are also looking at selling fifteen 787 jets to Boeing which is an $800 million dollar venture which will help Qantas keep from bankruptcy. With this job cut it will make a total of almost 5,000 jobs which Australians used to be employed at being cut. They have been trying to use two for one fare to increase sales but with the slump of the current economy it hasn’t helped.
3. To solve this problem Qantas would need to figure out a way to keep the 1,750 jobs available for the people.
4. The best solution to this problem would be to work with another company who isn’t doing as bad as Qantas and allow the people to have a different option when looking for a job so that they aren’t just unemployed which will impact Australia’s economy even more.
5. This situation will be resolve when the World’s Economy is stabilized and then the jobs lost will start to be opened up again and will in turn help the people of Australia.
Russia:
1. Russia has a Federal Republic form of government. This means that it has a federation of states with a republican form of government.
2. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/04/14/AR2009041402864.html?hpid=sec-world. Russia might have to borrow money from aboard sources due to the financial crisis they are experiencing at the moment. The last time Russia had to ask for money was in 2000 but with the countries reserves plummeting it looks like it is Russia’s only option. They have Euro bonds they can sell but with the World’s Global Economic Crisis and falling oil prices it is hard to say that Russia even having cut its budget 8% this year will be able to make ends meet in 2009.
3. To solve this problem Russia needs to set up an Economic Plan which they can follow in order to not get themselves into too much debt so when the economy does turn around they won’t be super in debt.
4. The best solution to this problem is to not take out a large loan which will take a long time to repay but rather to take a loan only for what they desperately need to function.
5. This situation will be resolved as with all the others when the World’s Global Economic Problem is resolved.
Canada:
1. Canada has a federal parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy, this means it is made up of the Crown, an elected House of Commons, and an appointed Senate. The Monarch is HM Queen Elizabeth II; the Governor Central is Michaelle Jean, and Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
2. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601082&sid=aTgjyXPv4w7k&refer=canada. The Economist has said that the 50% drop in mortgage rates is over for Canada. It is said that there were will be no further fall in housing prices due to the economic crisis. The fixed rate APR went down this month from 5% to 4.15% by the Bank of Montreal. It is said that the prices will stay this way until more jobs become available which in turn will allow more people to be approved for loans in Canada.
3. To solve this problem, there is really nothing that can be done at the moment except wait it out.
4. A solution to this problem would be to approve more people for the fixed rate which would allow more buyers into the market which could boost sales.
5. This situation will be resolved when the economy is better because more people will buy houses and it will help the real estate market.

1. Canada is a constitutional monarchy but also a federal parliamentary democracy. It follows a documented set of rules but is ruled by a single person or figure head. it is also a group of states united under a central government (parliament) with voting ability.
2. http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/americas /03/05/canada.bus.beheading/index.html#cnnSTCText
After a man was beheaded on a bus last year, canadian court found the suspect "not criminally responsible because he is mentally ill". The family of the victim is very upset over this violent death, where the man (Vince Li) stabbed the victim (Tim McLean) several times before cutting off his head. Mr. Li is going to a psychiatric ward where he can be kept under surveillance.
3. This isn't a national problem, but it shows how the court system works in Canada. Just like here in the U.S. you can plead mental illness to escape a sentence. However, you are locked away in a psych ward.
4. I think it would be best to lock up Mr. Li in a real jail cell. The article says he suffers from schizophrenia, but I don;t think he should get special treatment. They can put him in his own cell.
5. In the future, I think the court system in Canada should make their rulings a little closer to the date the crime happened. That way no one has time to make up possible stories.

Current event # 1-Mexico
1. what form of government do they have (Democracy, Communist Dictatorship, Confederation, Socialist, etc.)? federal republic
2. Who leads their government (President, King, Senate, Dictator, etc)? president Felipe Calderon
3. What issues are they facing (as discussed in the article)? One of the issues they are facing Is poverty.
4. What relationships do they have with the United States (economic, political, cultural, etc.), and how do those relationships influence us and them either positively, negatively, or a bit of both? The relationship between the United States and Mexico is becoming stronger. Both Mexico and the United States deal with immigration. Many drugs are sneaked into the United States from Mexico and that influences the United States greatly. Mexico and the United States have many different relationships with each other, but the crime influences us in a negative way. There are many violent deaths in both the United States and Mexico because of drug gangs smuggling drugs into the United States and smuggling weapons into Mexico from the United States.
5. What other information did you discover about this country from reading the article (include similarities and differences between our government and way and life with theirs)? Some of the similarities between the US and Mexico has to do with the life expectancy which are both around 76. Our governments are fairly similar, as we both are independent nations. The economies are also similar as they are both free market trade. The main differences have to do with the corruption of government, and the state fear its citizens live in due to the drug cartel.

1. Mexico is under a Federal Presidential Republic, this type of government is representative, republican, and democratic in a presidential system. The current President is Felipe Calderon.

He plans on meeting with the President of Mexico Felipe Calderon to discuss Mexico’s economic situation, the illegal traffic of narcotics into the U.S., and illegal immigration. It is also stated that there may be some new trade agreements made between the U.S. and Mexico.
3. To solve this problem it will take the U.S. and Mexico government working together to catch the drug traffickers, illegal immigrants, and to control the economic situation between them.
4. The best solution to this problem would be to make plan that both countries could agree upon and would actually work to solve the problem.
5. This situation will not be resolved until the United States and Mexico come to an agreement and both parties follow through.

2. http://uk.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUKTRE53D06820090414. This article is about how the Australian Government wants sanctions against Fiji’s military government. The reason for this being that the current President repealed the constitution and reinstated the military chief as the Prime Minister. This has turned Fiji back into a dictatorship, which in turn will impact the people of Fiji, which what Australia is trying to prevent. There was a meeting between the Prime Minister of Australia and the Foreign Minister of New Zealand where they determined Fiji is under a military dictatorship.
3. To solve this problem one of the larger countries such as Australia needs to step in and help Fiji build a government once and for all. A government, which will last, thought he years and allow the people of Fiji to feel safe in their countries.
4. I think the best solution for this problem would be for Australia to come up with a plan and present it to the Fijian government whatever piece of it still exists and make sure the military doesn’t get a grasp on the country anymore then they already have.
5. I think this situation can be solved if handle correctly otherwise it could turn into a serious problem between the people who are in that region.

This article is talking about Australia’s largest airline carrier Qantas cutting back 1,750 jobs which will be their second job cut in the last six months. This company is based in Sydney and has lost $187 million dollars in revue in 2009. They are also looking at selling fifteen 787 jets to Boeing which is an $800 million dollar venture which will help Qantas keep from bankruptcy. With this job cut it will make a total of almost 5,000 jobs which Australians used to be employed at being cut. They have been trying to use two for one fare to increase sales but with the slump of the current economy it hasn’t helped.
3. To solve this problem Qantas would need to figure out a way to keep the 1,750 jobs available for the people.
4. The best solution to this problem would be to work with another company who isn’t doing as bad as Qantas and allow the people to have a different option when looking for a job so that they aren’t just unemployed which will impact Australia’s economy even more.
5. This situation will be resolve when the World’s Economy is stabilized and then the jobs lost will start to be opened up again and will in turn help the people of Australia.

A report suggests that Canada's border agency allowed some strategic nuclear and military equipment to leave the country without checking if rogue countries or terrorists are the buyers. Exporters of strategic equipment that's subject to strict controls too often file their own paperwork; they continue to have a choice of submitting their export declaration in paper format. The United States and the European Union call for an end to paper work, and require all export declarations to be made electronically in advance of shipping.

1. U.S. researchers have found that for the past 50 years most of Antarctica has been getting warmer. Scientists have been studying the climate change and have notice that it has become a large part in Antarctica, the East Antarctica Ice Sheet, has been getting cooler while the rest of the world is getting warmer. West Antarctica is very different to the East Antarctica; they are both separated from the Transantarctic Mountains. If the climate keeps getting warmer the ice will melt and make all the animals extinct and flood other continents.
http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/01/21/eco.warmingantarctic/index.html#cnnSTCTe
2. Antarctica is one of the nations involved and its form of government is the Antarctic Treaty, which is the legal framework for the management of Antarctica.
3. Researchers are hoping that the climate will keep getting cooler so that the ice won’t melt and destroy what’s left of Antarctica.
4. I think people should get more involve on saving the planet and scientists should also research more on global warming and find ways to stop it from getting worse.
5. I predict that this will not end until people go green and get involve with the environment because if not then this will get worse and animals will become extinct.

This article talks about how obesity is causing problems in Canada’s workplaces. Obesity has affected job performance for many Canadians. Many are now obesity, the agency says, the rate of obesity has rise from 12.5 to 15.7 per cent. Most are at age of 55 to 64, many workers are finding it hard to get their jobs done, some need to cut on their activities, some need to take days off from work and others get injured. Obese workers sometimes can’t fit into their equipment or just don’t want to wear it which causes accidents. They feel ignored and received low social support from colleagues and supervisors at work. Obesity isn't just causing problems with their work; their work might actually be causing their obesity too.
3. Study’s say they should reduce or prevent obesity in the workplace. Also will include better health and well being of workers, as well as the potential for higher productivity and better job performance.
4. I think the best solution would be to sponsor health promotions initiatives in the workplace and have a weight maintenance program at work.

2.http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2009-04-08-italy-buildings_N.htm This article talks about the earthquake in L’Aquila exposes a problem in Italy. That some of the ancient buildings that bring millions of tourists to Italy every year are in risk of collapsing the next time a major earthquake hits. They been thinking about rebuilding some of the ancient statues and buildings but that it will cost 1.7 billion to upgrade it make it more safety. The problem is that so many ancient structures are still being used and won’t be the same thing if they rebuild it. So they don’t if it will be done or not but some the votes are saying to just leave it and see what happens in the future.
3. Well the nation is wants to get the buildings redone, but the problem is they need a lot of money for that and right now more than 10,000 structures were damaged or destroyed, so they will either have to destroy the ancient buildings for it to be less money or remodel it and just pay the whole 1.7 billion.
4. I think they should just leave the ancient structures and buildings alone because once their redone it won’t be a historical piece with a long story to it just something that has be fixed.
5. To me the buildings won’t be redone because the tourists and the people will stop them from doing it and ending a historical piece in Italy.
