Police Brutality

   When people hear Police Brutality they automatically think black lives matter or an African American man dying due to the beating of a police officer. YES, we think this but there are other people who do suffer from this. Whether it's male or female of any race it happens all over. We are just so used to hearing it happen about African American people. For the past two years police brutality has become more frequently known. The media broadcast it. How could anyone be okay with allowing police officers to do this to our people. No matter what they look like nobody deserves to be dead or in critical condition. There is never a time where this is allowed. Some may disagree with me but it is just what I feel. Why is it that officers get off the hook so easily? There is always a new story going on about police taking situations to far and sadly get away with it just because they can.
    Although this topic has been going on for years this will always be a tough topic. this generation and sick and we need to do something about it. Police brutality takes place all over the world and never is it good for this to happen to anyone ever in life.

Global Warming

     Global warming is the increase of the overall temperature of the Earth due to the greenhouse gases. The Earths temperature is rising rapidly due to pollution, deforestation and fossil fuels. During this century we are part of the worst global warming since the last 400 years. According to biologicaldiversity.org, "our planet is now in the midst of its sixth mass extinction of plants and animals." We are losing animals approximately between 1,000 to 10,000 times faster than the natural extinction rate, according to the World Wide Fund for Nature. Our stray animals that are in zoos will pretty soon not be alive due to the damage we are doing to the Earth.
     Global Warming focuses on the war topic of loss. On this Earth if we keep doing the same things that we are doing now to destroy it we are going to destroy it for good and lose everything we have.
Scientists speculate that by the year 2100 half of the world's plant and animal species will be extinct due to human actions. Animals will be gone, people will be gone, plants will be gone. Everything we know and love on this planet Earth will be gone. Merely being inhabitants of this planet we owe it to ourselves, the future generations, and the other lives that call this planet home to step up and help change the planet before its too late.When our kids grow up they are going to suffer more than anybody and it just going to keep getting worse and worse as time continues to go on. We are going to lose everything and it is sad to even think about.
War does not make anything any better. "The environment has long been a silent casualty of war and armed conflict. From the contamination of land and the destruction of forests to the plunder of natural resources and the collapse of management systems, the environmental consequences of war are often widespread and devastating," said Ban in a statement for the UN's International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict in 2014. Many seem to forget about the environment during war, even though it suffers the most casualties.
