Global Cooperation

 Essay on Global Cooperation

Length: 417 words

Global cooperation is a term used to describe various countries and international players working with one another to manage issues facing the world.  These issues can be a variety of situations confronted by people around the world: poverty, crime, environmental damage, corruption, prejudice, war, and so on.  Although humans have often struggled to see ourselves through the prism of our common humanity, focusing on differences rather than commonalities, there are many excellent examples of people from around the world working together with one another.

One example of global cooperation is the seed vault located in Norway.  This vault is used for storing various species of seeds from different parts of the world.  The project has two objectives.  One is to preserve different species of seeds that are at risk of becoming extinct because standard seed variations are used to grow most of our food.  The other is to make sure the world will have the ability to grow food for its population in the event of a devastating event, such as a horrible natural disaster.

Another example is the UAESA, or the United Arab Emirates Space Agency, which recently sent probes into space in an attempt to prepare humanity for future visits to Mars.  Several countries from around the world collaborated on this project because the UAE did not have adequate capabilities to launch the mission on its own.  For example, the launch pad came from Japan.  Other parts of the spaceship originated from other countries.  Although the project was done in the UAE’s name, it was by no means their project alone.

One last example of global cooperation is global trade that happens between countries on a daily basis.  Because of different geographical locations, countries around the world often have resources that other countries do not have.  So, each country must exchange its resources for another nation’s materials.  For example, over one-third of the oil’s supply is in Canada, Venezuela, and Saudi Arabia.  However, all of the world needs this valuable resource to run their economies.  So, many countries get the oil from these places, and in return they send things, such as cars and other equipment. 

To conclude, the world is shrinking in many ways due to technological advancements, so the idea that we can just live in our own country and not experience the rest of the world is no longer feasible.  Global cooperation is already being done in many ways throughout the world, and it will continue to be done so moving forward.

Two Teachers

Image
By Nate Feldman I recently went to a school, and there I had two teachers.  They both taught me well, but they had some unique differences.   There was Mr. Franklin.  He was very playful in class.  He always taught using games and imagination.  Very often, he would tell stories to the class to learn something valuable and interesting.  He had a great sense of humor and liked to laugh.  At the beginning of class, he asked us what we would want to do for the day, so we decided the type of lesson. Then, there was his wife, Mrs. Franklin.  Unlike her husband, she wasn't so playful in class.  She always used the book for the lessons and stuck with it strictly.  She could laugh, but she was more serious during lessons.  Also, unlike her husband, she was the decision-maker in the class.  She told us what to do, and we would do it. The two teachers were so different, but I learned so much from them, and I think they were both amaz...

Soccer and American Football, A Comparison Essay

By Nate Feldman Comparison Essay: Soccer and American Football Do you like to play or watch sports?  Athletics play an important role in cultures around the world, and two of the most popular, soccer and American football, often create confusion for international students. Although both games involve teamwork, strategy, and intense competition, they differ greatly in rules, equipment, and global popularity. To begin, soccer is the world’s most widely played sport. It is simple to learn and requires very little equipment: a ball and an open space. The objective is straightforward.  Players use their feet to move the ball and attempt to score goals by kicking it into the opponent’s net. Except for the goalkeeper, players cannot touch the ball with their hands. Soccer matches are known for their fast pace and continuous action, with only a short halftime break. American football, on the other hand, is primarily popular in the United States, although there is a Canadian foot...
