Aid to foreign countries

Advantages and Disadvantages of Aid to an LEDC Many countries are given aid, with this aid comes the question if it is good or bad since there are both advantages but also disadvantages. What type of aid is best long term aid or short term aid, and what are the pro's and con's of these. Giving money to an organization does not mean that all the money you give will be used to help these people. When aid is sent to a country it often happens that everything has to go thru government officials, this means that when we for instance ship food some might be kept, and therefore the people who it is meant for will not get everything that was meant for them. Emergency Aid is a whole different thing than the aid that is given on normal basses. Emergency Aid is a rapid assistance given to people that are in immediate distress it is given to relief these people from suffering. It is only for a short period of time to help them back up. These people just need short term aid so that they can get everything together, they don't have to be taught how to do things. Agricultural aid can help increase the food quantity and quality, this most likely means that more people will be able to supply themselves with food. However not everything is what it seems these projects are sometimes run by foreign companies and mostly on bigger scales and therefore the smaller farmers will usually not

Religious leaders - among them Catholic bishops - has gone far in condemning the use of condoms for young people as well as adults in Africa.

Aids – Condoms as solution Religious leaders - among them Catholic bishops - has gone far in condemning the use of condoms for young people as well as adults in Africa. This is a problem because it will make condoms more difficult to enhance. Huge condom programs are often seen by the people as the solution to the AIDS problem in Africa. Experts in the field find it difficult to assess whether the church's views on contraception is essential that people choose to opt out. In my opinion it is very crucial. The Christian missionaries teach that it is a sin to use condoms at such a young ag. They compare it to as the act of stealing and are also focusing on the consequences on this act. From religious authorities, it is often argued that extensive campaigns for condom use may also lead to the opposite of what you want because it can lead to greater sexual behavior. That one starts to think, "Hey, we get condoms that protect! Let's have more sex than before! " So maybe the reason why AIDS is spreading so much in Africa is because they are trained not to use a condom by their Christian teachers? That it’s a " sin ". However , then one should probably not sexually intercourse with anyone either, or is that not taught by the preachers? Country HIV-exposed adults, 2005 Botswana 38,8% Zimbabwe 33,7% Swaziland 33,4% Lesotho 31,0% Namibia 22,5% Zambia 21,5%

Raconte-moi New York

" Raconte-moi New York " L'éternelle, la perpétuelle, l'illimité cité, n'a pour borne et limite que l'infinité. Le ciel à l'horizon nous est caché par les façades des grattes-ciels, qui comme des falaises, bordent des lignes harmonieuses se prolongent de manière continuée. Ce n'est qu'après avoir véritablement dressé la tête, qu'il se dévoile là, le gardien de cette contrée. New York ne se trouve jamais dans l'état de sommeil, car de nuit, elle s'illumine comme si elle s'était converti, déguisé, mué ou métamorphosé en un miroir, qui reflete des milliers d'étoiles d'un ciel Perseid. Manhattan est renommé pour ces nombreuse fantaisies, dont Central park, l'amas formant un tapis de verdure dans lequel l'on s'y délassé de jours, et s'y sens menassé de nuit. C'est en déambulant que l'on n'y découvre ses clichés les plus surprenants, comme l'obstination pour la couleur jaune des taxis sur la route, et la police ayant pour moyen de locomotion des chevaux. Mais encore, de nombreux immeubles étonnants, comme " the flat iron " qui donne l'impression d'avoir été aplatie avant d'être dressé. En ce même lieu l'on se trouve confronté à telement de difference, entre les gens, leurs races et leurs richesses ; et entre les divers environnements: mêlé et emprisonné dans le brouillard des pots d'échappements, ou délivré au bord de l'Océan
