Soldier shoots Afgan civilians in alleged shootings. The U.S should not be paying any sort of compensation regardless of the incident. What if this shooting is a set up by terrorist groups in an effort to try and paint the U.S in a bad picture. Regardless of the situation at hand no one knows what truly happened in the village.

World Currency summary

The UN has decided that the countries around the world should switch to a new and universal currency that is to be a direct replacement to the U.S dollar. Personally I don't think this is a good idea, it is basically a attack on U.S pride and currency value. Although it does seem like a good idea to use a common currency from my pov I believe it is a flawed idea. The reason why is because not everyone will be willing to fully agree on the idea of a common currency. Some issues that may come up is who going to be in charge of producing the new money, who's in charge of design and etc. If a new world currency were to be put in place, if a economic crisis were to occur in the future, then economies are more at risk and a global collapse can be extremely severe.

Assignment # 20
#1 Add to "Current Events" page on your Wiki Look up an organization that help the world's poor: Organizations like CARE, UNICEF etc. Scan the sites for information on what poor people might need and who can help. Remember the 5 W's. Write about this organization and be sure to make a link from Wiki to the organization you choose, bring in pictures, and what is the actual amount of money given directly to people this organization helps.

Unicef is a international global charity that has specialized in donating and giving to the poor. The main headquarters of operation is in New York City. Unicef was first created in the early 1950s after the end of World War 2 which left nearly 80% of the Earth's population poor and hungry. officially Unicef became part of the United Nationals general system for aid and services in 1954. Unicef has a income of 3.3 Billion dollars much of this is based on United Nation donations and charity donations. There no known accurate numbers as to how much Unicef actually gives to the people. But from unofficial sources and official sources it is estimated to be around 40 percent. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNICEF

When compared with Unicef the winners in the world challenge group has a better role in developing survival skills in a long term environment. Unicef is merely a donation group who gives out money to people who are poor around the world, while this program gives the people a chance to develop skills and create new job markets. Something that is much better thought out then simply giving money to people and say "Go buy some Food". Teaching and educating the poor to do different jobs outside of the usual stereotypical areas would work to create a more balanced and general based economy.
