Global Problems
Forced migration has become a world-wide phenomenon in the past century, affecting increasing numbers of countries and people. It entails important challenges from a global health perspective. This has been critically discussed about the Japanese interpretation of global responsibility for health in the context of forced migration. This complements their analysis by outlining three areas of global health responsibility for European countries. This is a highlight of important stages of the migration phases related to forced migration and propose three arguments. First, the chronic neglect of the large number of internally displaced persons in the discourses on the refugee crisis needs to be corrected in order to develop sustainable solutions with a framework of the Sustainable Development Goals. Second, protection gaps in the global system of protection need to be effectively closed to resolve conflicts with border management and normative global health frameworks. Third, effective policies need to be developed and implemented to meet the health and humanitarian needs of forced migrants.
I plan on using this source to show the importance of finding a new way to go about our everyday lives. This article gives a good outline of what the European countries are or need to work on and change about their policies.

In 1998, representatives from 159 countries met in Kyoto to discuss a problem which is sort of a prototype of a global issue: The earth is warming up due to the man-made greenhouse effect. This phenomenon can be discussed from various standpoints. Scientists have worked out several models to calculate the warm-up at certain points of time based on differing assumptions. There are many questions unsolved, and it will take a good deal of time until they come to an exact forecast of the greenhouse effect including its consequences.
I want to use this article to prove that global warming is an actual global problem and it will take a toll on us eventually and it will not be pretty when it happens. It explains the importance of our responsibility to take care of earth and what will happen if we don’t do what needs to be done to reverse global warming.

This article goes in depth of what Global Isolationism is. Global Isolationism is conceptualized as a radically non-compromising coexistence of globalization and isolationism by design, aided by new information technologies, reactivated mass consciousness and slack political resources. It is characterized by the radical pursuit of new deals within the global geopolitical and economic order, renegotiation of existing deals for resource appropriation and democratic space for the marginalized, and the defence of the status quo in global resource and environmental governance due to translocal insurrection.
I want to use this article to show what Global Isolationism is and how to use it. I think Global Isolationism could really help out with how we all contribute to global responsibility if we work together to fix our world ethic.
