The SDGs are goals the UN created to make our lives better and help to preserve the environment. The goals are made to be achieved in a lapse of 15 years and they were made in 2015.

They are called MDGs and where created in September 2000 with a dead line of 2015. These goals, in theory, applied to all countries, but they were principally targets for rich countries to achieve. The deadline of these goals has already passed and 1 billion people still live with less than $1.50 a day and more than 700 million people do not have enough to eat. Women aren’t not being taken into account and their rights are not being respected as they should. By this we can realize that the accomplishment of this new goals is not an easy duty.
The 17 sustainable Development Goals and 169 targets seek to continue, achieve and complement the Millennium Development Goals and complete the ones that were not achieved. They try to take into account the basic human rights and to achieve gender

Now is a time of big challenges. Billions of people from every country live in poverty and do not live a dignified life.

The New Deal The New Deal consisted of a series of programs enacted between 1933 and 1938. The New Deal was created to end The Great Depression which started on what people called a "Black Tuesday" October 29, 1929-1939. While people still debate today whether The New Deal was for the better of America or whether it wasn't many can argue that even with it's disadvantages it still got America out of the huge economic slump it was in. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was elected in March 1933, immediately began to take action after his election.
Although we live in a society where men earn more money for the same job, this gender gap needs to stop, because equal pay can end poverty for single mothers, makes it harder to provide for family, and can overall will help society. Some will argue that with men in charge there was no poverty; however, with women in control there is a decrease in this world wide issue. Research has shown that “A study of time and water poverty in 25 sub-Saharan African
A major issue in America today is poverty. However not much is being done to help those in need. Many who struggle in poverty are those who struggle getting the basic necessities we need in the everyday life such as food, clothes, water, and shelter. Different factors that can contribute to poverty are lack of education, unemployment, poor economy, race/origin, non-effective policies, and illness/disease; therefore more help should be made towards helping those in need. One of the factors that contributes to poverty is lack of education.
What is a perfect world? Is it only a dream where people can be happy, or have an abundance of food , or better yet, a world where humans live in harmony with themselves and their environment? What makes a perfect world is different for each individual. However, people can usually agree on what makes the world a terrible place. Whether it is war, famine, environmental issues, most people acknowledge these as detrimental to ways of life.
Because of these issues, society should develop better strategies to help these people in need to eliminate the growing poverty level through the world. These strategies could include
As Prime Minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe found in 2014, when he launched his “Abenomics” plan to spur the country’s economy, a major part of getting an estimated 3 million more women to participate in the Japanese workforce lay in providing subsidized, high-quality child care. “Abenomics won’t succeed without women-omics,” he stated at the time. Between 1965 and 2010 labour force participation rate for women rose, but the time women spent on unpaid child care also climbed by a third. Since the Fourth United Nations World Conference on Women and the adoption of the Beijing Platform for Action in 1995, a number of governments and international development institutions have articulated their pledge toward gender equality goals. Most development actors and policymakers, however, remain focused on a narrow interpretation of women’s empowerment and often argue for “investing in women and girls” as a way to achieve poverty reduction and GDP growth, rather than as an end in itself and as a matter of social
I agree with the assertion that in the context of Sustainable Development ‘the reality of life today is that the economy dominates environment and society. The Concept of Sustainable Development Sustainable development refers to “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs”, and was produced by the Brundtland report (WCED, 1987). The concept also takes into account the needs of the poor in developing countries by outlining achievable objectives of importance (WCED, 1987).
Aubrey Rose A, Barangot English 27B Title Gender Equality: An Established Human Right Thesis Gender Equality and Stereotypes Inroduction The gender equality has been accepted and acknowledged as human rights’ principles since the adoption of charter of United Nations in 1945. Most of the international agreements such as ‘the Millennium Development Goals (2000)’ and ‘the World Conference on Human Rights (1993) have highlighted and stressed the grave need for nations to take appropriate actions against such discriminatory practices. To give clarity to this research, the researcher uses the following definitions: “Everyone has a fundamental right to live free of violence.
Why Poverty Should Be Stopped The world today is full of problems. It’s difficult work for people all over the world to solve these concerns. Why? Because each of these problems are related to one another.
Furthermore, the three pillars of sustainable development, economics, social and
Sustainability: If you take a look around at what’s really happening in our world, there’s an inescapable pattern of ‘what’s going on is simply unsustainable’ and in other words, it can’t go on for much longer. Sustainability is to “meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. As cities began to grow with the population increase, the need for a sustainable development became more apparent as resources began to diminish in quantity and value. Left to it’s own devices, the Earth is a sustainable system.
It is important to link gender equality and sustainable development for a number of reasons. How can we achieve a sustainable future, and reach our development goals if half of the world’s population has their rights, capabilities and dignity ignored? Women’s knowledge should be used to help achieve these goals, they should be viewed as central actors, not victims. Furthermore, to be effective, policy actions for sustainability must redress the disproportionate impact on women and girls of economic, social and environmental shocks and stresses. The lives of girls and women have changed dramatically over the past quarter century.
Kahn’s (1995) approach to the sustainable development theory is consistent with the modern day development techniques of Europe 2020 priorities; smart growth, sustainable growth and inclusive growth. The adoption of some innovative strategies such as the utilisation of renewable energy as an integral part of the energy mix could result in growth of the economy, which will eventually trickle down to the poor or extend to the rural or disadvantaged areas of the country. The social sustainability generally explains the idea of equity among the people, empowerment, participation, accessibility and institutional stability. It seeks to ensure a good standard of living in the country by alleviating poverty. Environmental sustainability seeks to explain the ways in which exploitation and utilisation of the natural resources will not be made to negatively affect the environment or the health of human beings (Kahn 1995).
