How We're Fixing The World’s
Political Issues

That title may have been a bit misleading. We as
people can’t do much to change the future of political issues. In fact, all we can do is
sit back and watch to see what happens. The way things are going at the minute,
we won’t be watching for much longer. The tension between the US, Russia, and
North Korea is constantly on the rise. Even when it feels as though they’re
taking one step forward, ten are always taken backwards. So the question we
need to be asking ourselves is this, how are the politicians of the world
fixing the political issues we’re facing. Well, let's explore a few.
Democracy
Democracy
should be a governed system implemented all over the world. Spreading democracy
between different countries is so vital to the outcome of political changes all
over the world. It is something most countries are trying to do, but there are
the ones that seem to be a bit hesitant, namely North Korea. Now, there are
smaller non-profit organisations attempting to bring democracy, but the funding
for things like this isn’t the best. However, there are huge schemes such as
the National Endowment for Democracy that are
trying to make a difference in the world. But can they do any good? Well,
ultimately it is down to the politicians and the actions they take towards
other countries. Previous history has shown us that politicians aren’t always
the best at making decisions like that. However, we certainly have come a long
way in the last thirty years. Times have changed so much, and the level of
democracy we have world wide has improved massively.
Peace Talks
The major peace talks that are happening all the while
are between the government and rebel fighters at conflict in Syria. This one
has been such a hard one to manage as any peace talks that happen seem to be
ignored days later. The people living within Syria are living in a constant war
zone, with many fatalities happening a day due to bombings. So if we want to fix
political issues like this, something is going to have to be done that prevents
the peace treaty being broke. However, with this one it seems as though the
country will never be at peace. When forces such as Russia get involved, things
just get so much worse. It is part of the reason why the issue is so big, such
big countries like Russia are involved, and Russia don’t do things by halves,
or often as they’re told. However, with other issues in the world peace
treaties have worked with the pressure from other countries, so hopefully the
same will happen with the issue in Syria.
Future Moves
With the
current conflict being so strong between America and North Korea, it is hard to
know what future moves our politicians and governments will be making. It is
often the case that the safety of the public is pushed to the side, a worrying
theory for us all to ponder on when there are nuclear missiles being tested
what feels like every week now.
