Answer 1

survival of indigenous groups and cultures

Answer 2

I consider myself a caring person, so I am passionate about many causes. I don't like seeing people or animals hurt, so any types of abuse prevention, shelters, organizations, etc. are all things I care about. But to add something that not everyone has necessarily heard of is Autism. I babysit a boy with Autism, and ever since I met him, I have focused a lot of my work towards Autism. As a nursing major, I will do my school projects over Autism in order to educate more people about it. It is such a puzzling disorder, to which many different causes are discussed, but none settled upon. There are so many unanswered questions and puzzling situations that go along with the diagnosis of Autism. I won't go into great detail, but that is something I am extremely passionate about. I will leave some links to some information below.

Answer 3

1. Wars- Because they destroy innocents lives and serve evil greedy people. When war becomes an aim or a tool to steal others resources it becomes a disgrace! Nothing in this world is more precious than a human soul! Some wars are created in order to keep some countries backward and under control forgetting that what goes around comes around.

2. Alcohol - Statistics show that mortality rate from Alcohol-caused accidents exceed those from wars and natural disasters. Not to forget how many families were destroyed and how many children were abused as a result of consuming this poison. They were able to control smoking, so why don’t they control alcohol as well by limiting drinking to certain places? I don’t understand how they allow alcohol in groceries and restaurants but they punish people if they drive under the influence! How can someone under the influence make the right decision and not drive? What logic is that! Perhapse if they keep drinking limited to certain places then they can provide transportation and be sure that no one drives under the influence.

Answer 4

I am most passionate about current American politics because what happens to our democratic principles affects our rights as human beings of the world and our rights as citizens of the United States.

I consider myself lucky enough to have a passion for the history of civilization so that I am able to see what has taken place in the development of our social fabric. Social fabric has been based, and is continuing to be based, upon power and money. Those who gain and maintain power soon gather the money which then buys more power and gathers more money.

We as citizens of the US, and the world, must take our places to fight for a broader understanding by all citizens of the words of Thomas Paine and others of the 1700's when modern democracy was developing and who set forth concepts that would attempt to bridle the drive for power and domination by those who used the concept of commerce to subvert the the rights of the common man/woman.

Do not let those individuals who do not consider the greater good of the great whole worthy of their consideration become so powerful that the concept of government of the people, for the people and by the people becomes empty rhetoric as is now the case before US citizens through the Machiavellian antics of the Bush Administration.

Remember that YOU must never leave your Civil Rights at home.

Answer 5

THE FACT THAT ALL OF THE ANSWERS SHOW THAT OUR WORLD IS SO INTRICATELY INTERCONNECTED THAT TO ALLOW FOR THE SUCCESSFUL ENABLEMENT OF SOLUTIONS TO EACH OF THE EXPRESSED INDIVIDUAL EXPRESSED PASSIONATE INTERESTS we are now at a point in the world when ALL must realize that we must EACH give up a little of an absolute goal in order to reach a concensus that will enable ALL to make inroads against the most powerful & wealthy interests that through their unethical influence create selective blockages against ANY INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP GOAL THAT IS INTENDED TO IMPROVE ALL OF OUR LIVES.
Only by giving up a little of our own passionate goal, can we get those with other opposing interests that also have a well meaning goal to coalesce into some sort of workable group that ALL can willingly participate in. In this way, even the most powerful influences, be forced to recognize that THEY MUST ALSO GIVE UP SOMETHING IN ORDER TO CONTINUE THEIR WEALTH BUILDING. The Difference will be that they will have to practice REAL social responsibility.
There always has been & always will be those who create great wealth at the expense of others.
We MUST ACCEPT THIS FACT & realize THAT ALL THE WORLD IS SO ECONOMICALLY INTERCONNECTED, THAT THE WHOLE WORLD IS IN SOME WAY A CAPITALIST SOCIETY, (REGARDLESS OF FORM OF GOVERNMENT).
We cannot "KILL THE GOOSE THAT LAID THE GOLDEN EGG", but together we can force ALL the Geese to SHARE VOLUNTARILY a MINUTE PORTION of each GOLDEN EGG for the betterment of us ALL. THEY WILL SUFFER NO LOSSES as these kind of groups know how to recoup any kind of loss. ALL OF US THROUGH OUT THE WORLD WILL BE EMPOWERED TO ACHIEVE EACH OF OUR SPECIAL GOALS & PASSIONS.
Best Wishes to ALL MEN OF GOOD WILL.

Answer 6

I would say that most of our social ills are due to a lack of attention by our respective governments, particularly this US administration. Instead of an increase of funds in areas of society that requires immediate attention, this administration has squandered a half trillion dollars on wars that will either last an entire generation or end up in an embarrassing defeat for our nation. President Kennedy said that never before in this generation do we have the opportunity to either eradicate disease, ignorance, and poverty, but at the same time destroy all forms of human life. He was right. The way to be passionate about the elimination of social ills is by becoming passionately involved in the selection of our next generation of leaders. How we appropriate funds to our social priorities, excluding international wars without first using diplomacy to solve issues, is the most passionate cause, in my view. Choose our national priorities and needs of society and nature, itself, through selection of our national leadership.

Answer 7

I am passionate in anything to do with the welfare of children. We need more positive things for them to do, and more places for them to go. Then maybe we would not see so many kids on the streets. I also think schools need to do more about anti-bullying policies, because I feel being bullied DOES truly mess kids up drastically. I am definately an advocate for The Boys and Girls Clubs of America, as it gives kids a safe, fun place to go. I may not be rich, but I volunteer my time in helping them in any way possible!

Answer 8

Corruption and waste by the government. Politicians that get useless "earmarks" for their area and sneak it into unrelated bills. The solution, I believe, is term limits.

I do believe that when first elected, politicians, regardless of party, have ideals and goals that would be good for the area they represent, but the longer they stay, the more corruption and greed they see as "the way things are."

So I support the movement for Term Limits. We may lose some good politicians, but I think we would be better and more honestly served.

Answer 9

Education for both children and adults. Especially in health, math, business, science and reading, so people can keep themselves and their environments safe and healthy, understand finances and economics, be proactive and articulate their causes, and continue learning on their own. Educated people are more likely to help themselves and use methods other than brute force to solve problems. Of course the possible debates are legion when we ask who should educate us and in what areas, but ignorance is worse than no education at all.

Answer 10

TWO THINGS:

I suppose that with all that's happening to the human race, I shouldn't be so concerned about animals but of course it's because of humans that animals are having such a hard time. One of the worst things I can think of is cruelty to animals. It's truly horrendous the ways that people can make them suffer.
The other thing that keeps me awake at night is the kidnapping and rape/torture of little kids.
What it boils down to is that some humans are worse than dumb animals.

Answer 11

Food and Water for people who live in Africa.

I grew up in a poor family, and most of the time we had no food to eat in the table. And since it is a third world country, we didn't have food stamps or anything. Either you work to have something to eat or you starve. I experienced a lot of difficulties in my way, but I always understood that victories and defeat form part of an individual's life.
