In class, Dr.Moore always reminds us that his job it to prepare us to be global citizens. He emphasizes the importance of being aware of other people’s perspectives, backgrounds, and beliefs.

In 2011, Deamonte Driver, a 12 year old from Missouri, died after an infection from his molar spread to parts of his brain. He didn’t know that this infection existed, and his family couldn’t send their children to the hospital or the dentist to get it checked. Their Medicaid plan had lapsed, and the family had lost their home. Many children around the U.S. miss their well-child checkups each year. They may have never visited the hospital, even when they’re sick. This is why I have come to convince all of you to donate to my charitable organization, The Children’s Health Fund. Founded in 1987, the Children’s Health Fund provides affordable healthcare to underserved children living in poverty across the U.S. Children are the future of…

In the fall of 1947, with a hand crafted Raggedy Ann doll, the wife of Marine Reserve Major Bill Hendricks made this doll and asked her husband if he would “deliver it to an organization that would put it in the hands of a needy child on Christmas Day”. ( ) Unfortunately, Mr. Hendricks could find no such agency to provide this service. To fill that void, Major Hendricks’ wife told him he should start one and indeed he did. That same year, Major Bill Hendricks, USCR, and a group of Marine Reservists collected and distributed 5,000 toys to needy children. The scheme was so successful that it was expanded into a nationwide campaign after the Marine Corps adopted Toys For Tots in 1948. They have conducted successful campaigns nationwide each year since then. The hallmark that remains the initial objective of the program today is to “bring the joy of Christmas to America’s needy children.”…
Everyday millions of children around the world fight for survival due to starvation, lack of shelter, and proper healthcare. World poverty increases significantly daily, and innocent children lives are being affected and destroyed. The fact that the child cannot address their world poverty issue hands on, should encourage people to give back to communities that are less fortunate. In “The Singer Solution to World Poverty” Peter Singers argues, that people main priorities are luxury items instead of supporting charitable agencies that are fighting against world poverty. Many individuals follow the saying “Keeping up with the Joneses” . Which means they try to live a lavish lifestyle, but really forget about the bigger picture, and that’s helping children who struggles to get a meal daily. Singer is right we should help support charitable agencies, but in order for that to happen people should be more open-minded about donating, and put away their fancy lifestyle and luxury items.…

PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as the military combat, natural disasters, terrorism incidents, or any major tragedy. This is common in the life of veterans and is the leading cause of suicide among veterans. A VA patient who survived in Baghdad shares his experience with PTSD and explains how he knew he had this disability. Many veterans speak out about this issue and describe their continuous anger, alcohol addiction, and constantly wanted to fight. They usually feel very isolated and distant from their loved ones. One patient states, “PTSD involves rocketing into extreme states of stress re-activity; in the form of terror, rage, and uncontrollable impulses, and plunging into equally extreme states of being shut-down—exhaustion, emotional numbing, despair, and dissociation”. PTSD is about having fear and anxiety, allowing veterans to rage with anger and different emotion. There are many factors to PTSD, which affects others in different ways; or example, using video games to keep them occupied, spending money due to the lack of impulse control because of changes in their brain, and even not obtaining another job.…
Refugee children should not be kept in Detention Centres. Did you know girls and boys our age are being kept in shipping containers, isolated and away from their extended family, friends with slim hope for a better future. Children shouldn’t be kept in jail like conditions and by the end of my speech I am sure you will agree with me. Unfortunately, this currently happens to about 550 children in who are sadly stuck on Nauru in the middle of the North Pacific Ocean. I know none of you would like to live like this.

Just as I thought, the majority of you have your hands…
