It is sad how much some countries stack things against women still. And here many woman sit in the United States and complain about how poorly off we are. We can pretty much do whatever job we want now (granted some take more effort and struggling than others) however in many other countries they don't have enough education to even do some of what we call the "basic" jobs.

This is very sad that the Hikers are still in prison! This completely goes against the UN Article 6. Iran should not be allowed to hold people that long, especially without a trial. Why hasn't someone done something about this?

I think it is interesting that they are just starting to try and use technology in New Zealand schools and then claim they are one of the leaders in Education. In the United States we have been using technology in schools for at least 5 years. I do find it interesting that they think mobile phones are the best way to use technology and not a computer. I wonder what kind of mobile phone they are wanting people to use.

It is interesting to see the poll results and then talk to people who live in Johannesburg to see the difference in the answers. One is being led to think that the racism is getting less common in South Africa. This article shows that there are major security issues that could occur.

It is shocking how much scientist are able to tell about past times for such little information. I wonder why Tanzania and south Africa have been the sight of so many breakthrough findings.

It is interesting to see how different countries view the success of the conference. So many people have said it was horrible and that the important issues got buried that week by other small things. It is nice to see that a few countries did think it was a success.

I'm surprised that there are that many refugees each year that need to be rehoused. It opens my eyes up to how sheltered we are in the United States to some issues.

I think it is interesting that they want to instate something about immigration. Part of why i thought the EU came together was to make it easier to pass between countries of the EU. This is a big confusing as to whether there will be added things now when switching countries.

They stole my idea! haha. I participated in the Bright Green Youth Conferance in Denmark summer 2009. My group came up with the idea to create labels that showed the environmental impact of products. I'm glad to see others have tried to make this a reality. While brainstorming the idea my group hit the same problems they seam to be hitting.
