Infrastructure- Presentenced by Group #3 

                 Group #3 members Marco, Mayte, Nadia, Sandro, Ryan, Lazaro, Mauro, Rayvia

        Some of the topics that were discussed during the presentation about Infrastructure were 

*Addressing what infrastructure is and where we are now in the U.S , how does it compare to other countries, and plans for the present, and where will we be in 10-20 years from now. It has come to the attention of the American people that the infrastructure in our country is not the same as it once 50 to 60 years ago. The government needs to do something about this conflict, is not also to improve our economy but also to provide safety to the people that live in the U.S. Having roads, bridges, expressways can be fatal in case one of them decides to collapse, it could cause a great amount of deaths.

*We would think that the United States infrastructure is the best in the world, but in fact it is not, it comes in at #13 in the rank for the best infrastructure in the world. With #1 being Singapore due to its effective runways, roads, buildings, and roads. The most obvious reason why Singapore is the number 1 country is because is a very significant small country which makes it easier to keeping it updated. the U.S needs to work more and harder and get our infrastructure to #1 because without good roads, highway, and other methods of transportation goods will not get on time to their destined place and would cause economy loss.

*Like I previous mentioned before having bad infrastructure can leads to deaths, we've seen it happening many times by now in our country. When there are hurricanes we see thousands of houses destroyed due to the material the house are built with, and not only it causes damages to the houses but also electricity, cars and even the roads and the worst part of that is that there are human lives at risk and some even lose their lives. Hurricanes are not the only threat, we also experience tornados and earthquakes in our country which is why the infrastructure should be more sustainable, so that when natural disasters like this happen our infrastructure does not get too damaged.

* Why is infrastructure so important to us, it is important because its what makes up our roads and transit system, water pipes and water treatment, as well as our parks and waste facilities. Some of the economical methods of infrastructure are transportation, energy, water, health and education, public space and technology. We have learn to adapt to all these factors and we are so accustomed to use them on our daily day that we now depend on them. here is no doubt infrastructure could get better in our country, our president and the government just need to do something in their power to fix this issue so we can we at the top of every other country.

                 

Gender inequality presented by group #2

                       Some of the topics discussed during this presentation are the following

* As we all know when it comes to playing sports, its not only something a professional athlete does it is also their career, and careers should be taken seriously and should all be fair. The point is nowadays athlete women do not get paid as much as men do even if their professional careers involves the same sport. Women deserve the right and the respect to earn as much as men do, not only because its their jobs but also because sports can have risks, whether is soccer, basketball or even flag football can have risks. People always say that watching women's sports games aren't as exciting but on the contrary they are, and that is the reason why they should get paid evenly because they provide entertainment just like men athletes do.

* In society a man is seen as the person who should be, lets call it the "alpha" the leader of a house hold lets say for example, there is always the thought that the man should be the one having control of the house but no woman are capable of being independent too, they work hard, they don't stop until they accomplish what they have to do and never give up. In the workplace woman are tend to be seem like someone that is independent and that always needs help but on the contrary, women tend to be smarter than men, they always know how to candle things and make matter of it quick to get it done.

*Sexual harassment is something that should be taken very seriously, women suffer from sexual harassment from men everywhere they go to, it could be at work, in the streets or even at home. If a women is feeling like she is being sexually harassed there might be some ways of how to prevent it from getting any worse, they could call the police, they could defend themselves or ask for help to a personal friend. Women should be respected and treated with care, that is what they deserve for being mothers, daughter and grandmothers, and instead of making them feel uncomfortable, us men should work on making them feel loved and appreciated and stop women discrimination.

*Another important topic we see going on in today's daily life is the inequality there is with trans genders. One major fact is that trans genders aren't allowed to compete in sports due to many reasons, but the main reason why people say that it is unfair for trans genders to compete in women's spots is to give women the opportunity to compete against each other and not having to compete against men because it is scientifically proven that men tend to be stringer than most women. So in order for women to have a fair competition there should be any men involved or transgender.

Climate change presented by group #1

                            Some of the important details that were discussed are as follows 

*Air pollution has been one of the main problems in our planet due to the waste cars emit, smokes from factories, dust, pollen, volcanos and wildfires. Due to this factors air pollutions has spread all over the world, causing a lot of difficulty when it comes to breathing, and our air is not as safe as it once was. It can also affect you eyes, throat, lungs, nose, and being in a toxic environment can even cause death due to the toxicity there is in the air.

*Climate change affects nature in general from the smallest living organism to the largest. When there are frequent intense droughts, storms heat waves, rising sea levels it causes plants, humans and wild life to face every day new challenges for survival. And even melting glaciers and warming oceans for example, the wildlife that inhabits the poles suffer from this when its too hot the place where penguins live, glaciers start to melt and the oceans turn warm and these creatures don't belong in a warm environment, their nature is to be somewhere cold.

*Technology has had a huge impact in our lives it has helped achieve and discover so many new things in the world, but as much as it does good for us it also can have a negative effect on us and the planet we live in. Technological developments used in todays day in order for us humans to be able to trans[port from one place to the other are cars, planes, trains and ships. All these inventions have one thing in common and in a negative way, they all emit something called carbon emissions, is a substance that's dangerous for humans if its breath for tooo long, it can cause side effects like dizziness, headaches, difficulty breathing, tiredness, elevated blood pressure, and even convulsions. 

*There are many ways we humans can help our environment in order for climate change not to affect us and the wildlife as much. We can start off by saving energy at home, much of the energy we use is powered by coal, oil, and gas, walking or riding a bike somewhere can be more beneficial to the environment than driving a car, when you walk or ride a bike you are reducing greenhouse gas emissions. An one of the best ideas that have come to the attention of everyone is the making of a electric car that wont emit gas since it is not powered by any type of fuel. Using an electric car can play a huge role to reduce climate change, since it won't hurt our environment as much everyone that would like to help our planet to consider getting one.
