I am writing an essay about someone special who impacted Canadian citizenship in 2017 in either a good or a bad way. That special person I chose is Justin Trudeau and his team. Justin Trudeau was elected to be the president in 2015 and still is. There were a lot of good things he and his helpers did in 2017 therefore, here are my three that I have picked.

Clean water is essential to our basic needs as human beings and has been acknowledged as a basic human right according to the UN as of July 28, 2010. Still, 1 in 9 (782 million) people don’t have access to clean water, 1 in 3 (2.5 billion) don’t have access to adequate sanitation which results in the spread of often fatal and preventable disease. In a world where 2 in 5 people own a smartphone, it’s easy to forget that for some people even the most basic necessities are hard to come by. Approximately 3.5 million people die every year due to inadequate water supplies. Access to sanitation and safe drinking water could save the lives of 1.5 million children each year.

Being close to her sparked my passion for helping people, especially people with special needs. She taught me that it’s ok to love someone who is “different.” Seeing how much of a difference therapy made in her life, and her family’s life, instilled in me that I want to make a difference in people’s lives. I witnessed first-hand how difficult it was for this family to carry out everyday activities and the profound impact that therapy had on their lives.

In the past, different types of governments existed. From hierarchies to dictatorships, but nothing is better from the favored democracy! Democracy first came about in Athens. There a basic structure of a new form of government was created. As time passed, democracy slowly evolved into the system that we know today. What really changed, and which democracy is better? The Canadian government is better overall because of who can become a citizen, how are politicians selected, and who can vote.

Canadian citizenship means a lot to most Canadians. I feel free when I’m a Canadian citizen. The reason I’m a Canadian citizen is because I was born in Canada. But my parents on the other hand migrated to Canada at least somewhere In the 1990s and became a Canadian citizen.

“I am old, helpless and without citizenship. Now, get me citizenship. Hurry!” (Engkent, 143) says the mother in the short story “Why My Mother Can’t Speak English” by Garry Engkent. In this story, the mother is begging her son to get her citizenship in Canada.

Two out of every five people living in Sub-Saharan Africa lack safe water. A baby there is 500 times more likely to die from water-related illness than one from the United States. This is a serious ongoing issue that requires the rest of the world to take action. Water spreads diseases easily if the necessary precautions are not taken. Many developing African countries don’t have sewage treatment, or the people don’t have methods to filter and disinfect. Once a person is sick either there is no way to cure them, or medical care is too expensive, so they are left untreated with a high risk of death. Although many believe that the fight for sanitary water in Africa is insurmountable, people in these developing countries can overcome their challenge to access clean water and avoid water-borne diseases through proper sewage treatment facilities, universal water filtration and medical care.

In article “Beyond Borders: What It Means to Be a Global Citizen”, Drew Noble Alexander states the meaning of being a global citizen. He says that we are all born as global citizens, and we can choose to contribute to the world or passively deny the trend. Alexander thinks becoming a contributing “global citizen” requires a wide view of world and experiences from different cultures. Also, he notes modern people face more severe challenges than others, so they need features like “critical thinking skills, a level of self-awareness and confidence” to work collaboratively and creatively. Furthermore, Alexander writes about his teaching experiences in different regions in the world, realizing that features needed to become a contributing

The purpose of this research paper is to discuss the water crisis in the region of Africa and how water can cause many other problems such as inadequate sanitation, poverty and diseases for the population. People living in third world countries are suffering from the water crisis that has become a major problem for the United Nations, World Health Organization, United Nations Children’s Fund, Millennium Development Goals and many of the other organizations. For some of these organizations have been successful in providing a bit more water through the years it’s still a working process. Water is essential for life, it’s not just for the body’s physical need; yet millions of people do not have access to clean water. The lack of accessible of fresh water contributes too many diseases such as HIV, AIDS, waterborne diseases, causing the death of millions of women and children annually in the region. This is making it harder for the communities to develop a safer home for their families and to improve the conditions of the country. This research paper will examine the problems, solutions and causes. How it all comes together, to contribute to this water crisis and to weather there is a solutions set by the United Nations, studies that have been conducted and other organizations, which can maybe work for the years to come. In addition, the same water problems are going to be discussed with regard to Africa for statics, examples and quotes done by the organizations in the past and

Water is a necessity. Americans are taught to drink eight cups a day and that three days without water will result in death. But what if the water itself causes death? Malawians suffer from unsafe water every day, contracting diseases and sometimes dying from the dirty water. Many organizations have already addressed and attempted to solve this crisis, but impure water continues to harm Malawians every day. Also, gathering water takes up so much time that the Malawians are unable to spend time on other activities, and often are forced to abandon their education. In order to help the people, the Malawian government must take action to improve water quality and access. Although large amounts of money has already gone into sanitation efforts, many citizens of Malawi still lack clean water, which detrimentally affects their lifestyle and health. Therefore, the Malawian government must actively work to improve water conditions through enforcement and education.

Moreover, in what is seen, a global citizen is that of people putting aside religion and political views that cause so much controversy inn the world we live in. What should be recognized are morals and common views that everyone can somewhat seem to agree on. One example is the Gordon Rule- treat others as you would want to be treated. Now the most known example for that is to have respect towards one another. A global citizen indeed should acquire this and understand it fully. In addition, basic morals that seem right also come along in being an ideal global citizen, such as being against dehumanization. Taking away what basically makes you, you is something that is not agreed with the views of a global citizen.

At the domestic level, the objective is to provide sustainable safe water and hygienic sanitation facilities, within easy reach, based on management responsibility and ownership by users, to 77% of the population in rural areas and 100% in urban areas by year 2015. Concerning water for production, the aim is to promote development of water supply for agricultural production in order to modernise agriculture and mitigate effects of climatic variations on rain fed agriculture (MWLE, 1999). In essence, the overall policy objective is to manage and develop the water resources of Uganda in an integrated and sustainable manner, so as to secure and provide adequate quantity and quality of water for all social and economic needs of the present and future generations. The Government aims at full participation of all stakeholders with an 80-90% target for effective use and functionality of facilities.
