International Trade

International trade is the process people from other countries exchange their products to each other, which people don't have those in their own countries. International trading is conducted under the supervision of the WTO (World Trade Organization).
So why there are trading between countries and countries? People as well as their countries need to develop. They need to learn new things so do other countries. So they found each other and began to exchange things (like exchange a TV with an air conditioner). In order for the exchanges to be fair ethical, a group of people has found an organization that has been recognized by the entire world and it's called World Trade Organization.
To make an internation trade, the traders have a lot of difficulties like they don't really understand what do the customers in the other country need; they may stuck if they are not good in English because most people in the world are now using English as their second language to communicate with foreign people; tariffs and non-tariffs...
I think there are no good solutions for those and even more difficulties. The world is now developing and people need to trade more and I hope that the WTO will have some better idea to improve the process of the international trade and make it better for people.

Healthcare

Nowadays, when the world is developing, people are also developing. They demand more things in their lives. As you know, when you change a thing, there are always 1 positive result and 1 negative result. People may get the increase of salary... and they may get bad about their health. So, people began to care about their health. They need more system or more organizations to care about their health, their lives. Some people have stood up and found some organizations to take care of people's heath base on their cost of living, what they earn per month or per year...

There are many people who gave out there opinion and the way they will help people with their healthcare system. There are mainly 4 kind of healthcare system are great and people mostly use: Beveridge model, Bismarck model, Nation Healthcare Insurance model and Out-of-Pocket model.
We can see that the first 3 model the government can pay for you a a part of a cost you have to pay for the healthcare system so you can see that those countries that are using those healthcare systems are quite rich and governments can effort for the whole citizen in their countries. But in the last model.which Africa or India mostly applied, the citizen have to pay for themselves, the whole price without the support of the government because simply, those countries are poor and the government can't effort to support them.
Another new healthcare system that is recently applied in USA is the "Obama Care". The Obama Care system is to make people feel equal. People that don't work and people that work have the same healthcare system. The system somehow make the people who have to work hard in the USA feel unfair.
I think every system that are mentioned are good except the Out-of-Pocket model so I think the government of the countries that are using that system should ask for help from some word organization so that they can effort to pay for their citizen.

Drugs

When people here about drugs, they immediately think about a thing that causes sickness to people and even cause them die. There are actually 2 kinds of drugs: the first one is good drugs- people call it medicine, the second one is bad drugs which harm people.
Talk about bad drugs, we know they are drugs that are produced illegally by bad people or the mafia and it is out of the control of the government. Some drugs like heroin, cocaine,... are the type that are sold with the very high price to the user. They give users some good effect at first but they remain very bad effect that can cause users to die.

There are some drugs that are legal in some countries. Mexico is an example of that. In this country, the government doesn't prohibit Marijuana- a kind of drug (commonly, people call it weed)

When users use drugs like heroin or cocaine, they feel good at first. Then after days and days their bodies become weak and weak, their morales decrease strongly, sometimes they won't recognise anything and maybe they will get a sudden death.
 I think the government should have some effective solutions to prevent this important issue like raising the awareness of people about the bad effect of using drugs or if possible, the government can find and fine heavily the people that make those drugs to harm everybody

Science and Technology

The world today is becoming more modern and so people. They now can develope more and more useful technology to help a part of their hard life. Science and technology products include computers, TVs, air- conditioners, mobile phones, etc.. They help people a lot to shorten many stages but they can still succeed in doing things. For example, a farmer long ago has to labour by animals which don't give very good effect. But now, he can use technology products to help him labour like farm tractor that can give more good effect than animals like buffaloes and cows. A staff in a company who has to work hours and hours. He will have to remember all of the data in his little brain. Fortunately, there are computers. Those modern technology devices help people to save all data they had created or found somewhere and when they need to find, they just have to do a few step in the computer to get the data. It is very convenient.

Something always have a good and a bad face. Beside the good effect that Science and Technology bring to people, there are still many people abuse the science and technology abilities and they make something are dangerous. In 1945, after succeed in making the atomic bomb based on the development of Science and Technology, the America harmed Japan by throwing the bomb into the big cites Hiroshima and Nagasaki caused a lot of damage to people till now. Another example is with the advancement of Technology, some people can use computer to hack into others' personal device and collect private information. Some hackers even stood out and create a group called Anonymous which is a very famous group in todays society.
A development of something always has good effect and bad effect. To destroy the bad effect is impossible but at least the government can give some positive solutions to prevent the misuse of Science and Technology so that people can have a safe space and at least they won't lost their private information into the hackers.
