Vietnam is the 2nd Largest Exporter of Coffee
Grade 6
In Vietnam, they make a lot of yummy coffee, almost 2 billion kilograms! That's second most in the world after Brazil. They also have coffee with
special flavors like Egg Coffee and Yogurt Coffee. And guess what? Some coffee even comes from weasels! People visit nice places in the
mountains like Da Lat and Dak Lak to see where the coffee grows. Fun fact: Da Lat is like a vacation spot for people from Ho Chi Minh City when
they want a break from the hot weather.

Tortoise Is a Lucky Symbol in Vietnam
Grade 7
We found something really cool about Vietnam! People there really like tortoises because they think they bring good luck and health. They also
believe that having tortoiseshells at home can make them live longer.
In Vietnamese culture, there are four special animals that are considered sacred. One of them is the tortoise, and it's the only REAL animal out of
all the ones they admire.
There's even a story about a Tortoise God who helped build a big fort in Vietnam called Co Loa citadel. And in Hanoi, there's a famous lake called
Hoan Kiem Lake, which means 'Lake of the Restored Sword.' People believe that a long time ago, a king returned a sword to a wise old tortoise
that lives in the lake. They still think the old tortoise is there today

Vietnam street foods go directly into the Oxford Dictionary
Grade 8
Its infinite variety and incredible flavors distinguish Vietnamese cuisine. Banh mi and pho are two Vietnamese words defined in the Oxford
Dictionary rather than being translated into English.
Banh mi is the signature sandwich that is becoming increasingly popular with people worldwide. In general, it is a loaf of bread with three main
fillings: meat (roasted pork, barbecued or grilled pork), vegetables (pickled carrot, cucumber slices, and cilantro), and sauce (chili, tomato or soy
sauce).
Pho is a rice noodle soup with raw or cooked beef, beef tendon or meatball, bean sprouts, and herbs. Pho can eat at any time of the day, but it is
most famous for breakfast. And you can find this dish everywhere in the country.

Grade 8
A long time ago in 1947, a businessman named Kenneth Arnold saw something strange while flying his small plane near Mount Rainier in
Washington. He saw nine fast objects that looked like crescent shapes. He thought they were as fast as things that skip on water, like
saucers. People in the newspaper thought they looked like flying saucers, and that's where the name came from.After that, more and more
people saw things in the sky that they couldn't explain. In 1948, the U.S. Air Force started looking into these reports with a project called
Project Sign. They thought maybe these objects were fancy planes from Russia, but some people believed they might be spaceships from
other planets.

Grade 7
A long time ago in the 1940s and 50s, people in America started talking about 'flying saucers.' They saw strange things in the sky, and it
became a big deal in our culture. Hollywood even made movies about it, like 'Earth vs. the Flying Saucers' in 1956. People back then were
curious and worried. They wondered if these things from space were friendly or if they might harm us. It was a time when people were also
thinking about life on the Moon and Mars. The flying saucers represented our hopes and fears about what might be out there in space.

Grade 6
Starting in 2020, the Japanese military was told to keep track of things they see in the sky that they can't explain. Even though the Japanese
government says their pilots have never seen UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects), they got worried when the US Department of Defense
showed some videos with strange things flying in the sky. Because of these videos, some people in Japan started looking for UFOs. In a
place called Iinomachi, in Fukushima province, they've seen things they think are UFOs.
- Have you ever seen a UFO?
- What are your early memories of UFOs? Were you scared?
- Do you think UFOs would come to Earth to attack us, make friends with us, to get some natural resources, or another reason?
- Why are people so fascinated by UFOs?
- Would you accept an offer from aliens of a ride in their UFO?

Grade 6
The world is constantly evolving, and our communities have changed a lot over the years. When your parents were your age, things were
quite different compared to today. Technology, for instance, was not as advanced as it is now. Back then, people didn't have smartphones,
tablets, or even the internet. They relied on landline telephones and had to go to libraries to find information. Nowadays, we have access to
an incredible amount of information right at our fingertips. We can connect with friends and family instantly through social media and video
calls.
Grade 7
Our communities have changed a lot since your parents were kids. When they were your age, things were a bit different. Technology wasn't
as advanced as it is now, so they didn't have smartphones or fancy gadgets to play with. Instead, they spent more time playing outside with
their friends, using their imagination to have fun. The world was a little smaller back then, and people didn't travel as much. Nowadays, we
can travel to different places easily and quickly. Our communities have also become more diverse, which means there are people from many
different backgrounds and cultures living together. This gives us an opportunity to learn about new traditions and make new friends. Change
can be exciting, and it brings new opportunities for all of us to grow and learn.
Grade 8:
Our communities have become more diverse and interconnected. People from different backgrounds and cultures now live together, bringing
a rich tapestry of traditions, languages, and experiences. This diversity allows us to learn about different cultures, try new foods, and
understand different perspectives on life.
Moreover, transportation has also transformed. Your parents might have relied on bicycles or walked to get around their neighborhoods.
Today, we have access to cars, buses, and trains, which make it easier to travel longer distances and explore new places.
In conclusion, our communities have gone through significant changes over time. The advancements in technology, the way we socialize,
the diversity we experience, and the improved transportation options have all shaped our lives in different ways than our parents' when they
were our age. While change can be overwhelming, it also opens up new opportunities and experiences that help us grow and adapt to the
evolving world around us.

https://www.kaplanpathways.com/blog/top-8-reasons-to-study-abroad/
https://www.hult.edu/blog/5-biggest-benefits-studying-abroad/
https://graduate.northeastern.edu/resources/study-abroad-benefits/
In recent decades, the number of students spending some time abroad during their university studies has significantly risen worldwide. An
increasing amount of resources are being spent by national governments and international organizations to promote study abroad programs.
What are the advantages of studying abroad? Is it worth the investment of that much public money?
Many studies conclude that a study abroad experience is beneficial to students. Besides contributing to their personal growth and
development, it may enhance both their employability and earnings potential. Studying abroad offers students the opportunity to acquire a
vast array of marketable skills (such as, for instance, intercultural competence, global awareness, and foreign language skills) that can help
them successfully compete in the labor market. Students who have had an international education experience tend also to have a wider job
search radius as they are more likely to explore job opportunities not only in their home country but also abroad. Many companies, and
particularly multinationals, are keen on hiring candidates with international education experience and often select job applicants on the basis
of whether they have studied abroad.
Furthermore, evidence shows that studying abroad especially improves the employment prospects of students from low socio-economic
backgrounds. Given their backgrounds, these students are less likely to be able to develop many of the aforementioned marketable skills if
they do not participate in study abroad programs.
It is important to note that identifying the impact of studying abroad on subsequent labor market outcomes correctly is a difficult task. The
number of studies providing accurate results is increasing, but is still quite limited. The key challenge lies in isolating the effect of
participation in study abroad programs from that associated with factors driving the decision to study overseas. Several difficult-to-measure
individual characteristics influencing the choice of studying abroad may also either positively or negatively affect returns in the labor
market. For example, engagement in extracurricular activities and openness to diversity in ideas and people may both predict study abroad
participation and enhance job/career outcomes. On the other hand, it is also possible that students looking for fun and excitement may
systematically choose to study abroad. These personal traits could be associated with negative labor market outcomes.
Policymakers should pay increased attention to the findings of those studies attempting to tease out the true effect of studying abroad. They
also need to ensure that the expansion of study abroad programs is not accompanied by increased social inequality. A larger disparity in
access to study abroad programs among students from different social backgrounds may worsen inequality. It would mean that students from
more advantaged backgrounds will see their labor market position (further) strengthened relative to those from less advantaged backgrounds.
Additionally, there may be efficiency gains in allowing more students from low socio-economic status to study abroad: they are likely to be
the ones who most benefit from a study abroad experience.

A vaccine is a biological preparation that improves immunity to a particular disease. A vaccine typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing
microorganism and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe or its toxins. The agent stimulates the body’s immune system to recognize it as
foreign, destroy it, and ”remember” it, so that the immune system can more easily identify and destroy any of these microorganisms that it encounters later. The
body’s immune system responds to vaccines as if they contain an actual pathogen, even though the vaccine itself is not capable of causing disease. Because
vaccines are widely used in the United States, many once-common diseases—polio, measles, diphtheria, whooping cough, mumps, tetanus, and certain forms of
meningitis—are now rare or well controlled.
Vaccinated people produce antibodies that neutralize a disease-causing virus or bacterium. They are much less likely to become infected and transmit those
germs to others. Even people who have not been vaccinated may be protected by the immunity of the “herd,” because the vaccinated people around them are
not getting sick or transmitting the infection. The higher the proportion of vaccinated people in a community, the lower the likelihood that a susceptible person
will come into contact with an infectious individual—leading to greater herd immunity.

One way that you can help protect the environment is by using public transport, walking or biking instead of driving your car. Not only will
this reduce your carbon footprint, but it will also help you get some exercise and improve your health. Imagine the feeling of
accomplishment you will experience when you realize that you are doing your part to protect the environment and improve your well-being
at the same time.

Our health also is hugely dependent on the state of the Earth. The Earth’s health plays a huge role in our overall health, to the point where if
the Earth is unhealthy, this can cause humans (and all other animals and plants) to become unhealthy as well. As we stated before, the Earth
provides air for us to breath, so by keeping the air free from harmful toxins it keeps the air clean, which is better for our bodies, especially
our lungs. If the air becomes toxic, these toxins will enter our bodies as well, causing major health concerns. This is the same with our food
and water – if the Earth is healthy, it will provide clean water and fuel that nourishes our body, rather than harming it with polluted water
and contaminated food. The cleaner the Earth is, the healthier we will be.

Food production is a major driver of wildlife extinction. What we eat contributes around a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions and is
responsible for almost 60% of global biodiversity loss.
Farming animals for meat and dairy requires space and huge inputs of water and feed. Today, one of the biggest causes of forest loss is the
expansion of agricultural land for animal feed production, such as soy. And producing meat creates vastly more carbon dioxide than plants
such as vegetables, grains and legumes.
Moving away from a meat-dominated diet towards a more plant-based diet can lower your impact on the environment. Vegetarian and vegan
foods are massively on the rise and becoming far more common in restaurants, cafes and supermarkets, so you’ll rarely struggle.
Not only that, but cutting down on meat and dairy products can reduce your weekly food bills.

Yoga, a modern practice rooted in over 5000 years of ancient Indian texts and traditions, continues to gain popularity in the United States. A
new survey conducted by Yoga Alliance and Yoga Journal reports that the number of Americans doing yoga has grown by over 50% in the
last four years to over 36 million as of 2016, up from 20.4 million in 2012. In addition, nine out of 10 Americans have heard of yoga, one in
three Americans has tried yoga at least once, and more than 15% of Americans have done yoga in the last 6 months.
More than a third of Americans say they are very likely to try yoga in the next year. While the majority of yoga practitioners are women
(70%), the number of American men doing yoga has more than doubled, going from 4 million in 2012 to 10 million in 2016. The number of
American adults over 50 doing yoga has tripled over the last four years to reach 14 million.

Yoga gained popularity in the West in the 1960s and 1970s, as part of the counterculture movement and the search for alternative forms of
spirituality and self-expression. The Beatles’ visit to India in 1968 to study with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and their subsequent endorsement
of Transcendental Meditation helped to popularize Eastern spirituality in the West.
Yoga studios began to emerge in the United States in the 1970s, offering classes in various styles of yoga, including Hatha, Kundalini, and
Ashtanga. Yoga became associated with health and fitness, with celebrities and athletes touting its benefits for physical and mental well-
being.
The popularity of yoga continued to grow in the 1990s and 2000s, with the emergence of power yoga and the rise of yoga apparel brands
like Lululemon who makes mats, clothing has chic stores and more. Yoga festivals and retreats became popular destinations for those
seeking a holistic and immersive yoga experience.
Today, yoga is a mainstream practice in the West, with millions of people practicing yoga regularly. According to a 2016 survey by Yoga
Journal and Yoga Alliance, 36.7 million Americans practice yoga, up from 20.4 million in 2012. Yoga is also popular in Europe, Australia,
and other parts of the world, with yoga studios and retreats popping up in cities and rural areas alike.

The contribution of electricity, considered one of mankind's greatest technological inventions, to what it has brought us today is undeniable.
The benefits of electricity in raising the level of science, technology and prosperity have made it one of the most important basic necessities
in life. This type of energy, which contributes to the continuity of life and at the same time to progress, allows the operation of almost all
machines at home and in industry. Electricity is now an indispensable part of life in many different areas, from lighting to communications,
from transport to heating. The disappearance of electricity means a complete change of the entire daily routine. Life without electricity is
therefore no longer conceivable.
https://www.aydemperakende.com.tr/en/blog/what-would-happen-if-there-was-no-electricity
Living without electricity is not as easy as you think it is, especially when the majority of your household items depend on it to function.
There are lots of technologies managed by electricity that provide us with important things, including heat, water, food, transportation,
energy,
communication, and as well as entertainment.Without power, you won’t be able to use your home’s central heating and air conditioning.
Aside from that, you also won’t be able to use the toilet, refrigerator to preserve foods, or have clean running water from your faucets.
Sometimes, it takes a lot for most people to realize that having no electricity is more than losing the internet and Wi-Fi connection. Without
power, there will also be no cash machines, no factories, and no gasoline pumps. Heating and water would also be compromised without
electricity, which is both critical in our lives for us to survive.
https://thecitydark.com/how-to-survive-in-the-city-without-power/
Most urban citizens rely heavily on electricity in daily life. The pumps bringing water to apartments and houses are dependent on electricity.
This means that the water would seize to flow in high-rise buildings in case of a power outage. On lower floors, water availability will
worsen as water towers run out of water. Heating systems are also dependent on electricity, and so are fridges and freezers. In case of a
power outage lighting, ventilation systems and other appliances used on a daily basis would also stop working.
There are important functions in our society that cannot function without electricity. One example is grocery stores. The most acute
problems for stores of any size facing power cuts is related to cooling and heating of food products, and payment activities which are
increasingly electronic. In the case of extended power cuts, problems will spread to storage management and ordering, and thereby supply
chains. Hospitals are also dependant on electricity. In the absence of power, surgeries are at risk, respirators shut down, and hygiene is
threatened. Waste management may also be affected if dependent on pressure piping, which requires electricity to function.

https://www.montenagler.com/the-importance-of-art-in-daily-life/
Art has been a part of human culture for many centuries. It has been used to express emotions, to communicate ideas and it has been a way
to pass down knowledge from one generation to another.
Art is important in our cultural and social lives because it is the medium through which we process our emotions and ideas. It is also an
important tool for learning, teaching, and communicating. Art plays a role in recording history, and many artworks help us paint a picture
(literally) of what life was like in previous generations.
Art is also particularly important as a signifier of culture across the globe. Research has shown that art can affect the fundamental sense of
self.
Folk arts, for example, are highly unique to specific cultures and tell the history and rich traditions of a region. Painting, architecture, art
sculpture, music, literature, and many other fine arts can be considered a repository of a given society's collective memory.
https://www.eden-gallery.com/news/why-is-art-important
Art profoundly influences society through the creative process by changing opinions and instilling values across space and time. It is indeed
a most powerful tool.
When people interact with each other they exchange ideas and opinions. This affords us the ability to express our thoughts and to bring our
ideas to others’ attention. Through discussion and contemplation, we often come up with new ideas as a result of these exchanges. This
process allows us to create new techniques and realities, which then become demonstrated and reflected in the graphic arts and literature.
The reduction of isolation shows us the value of art in our society. Meeting and interacting with others fosters new ideas that influence all
the arts. So as art influences society so does society influence the arts…they are inseparable.
https://ejazkhanphotography.com/why-art-is-important-to-society/
Art acts as a collective memory of society. Through expressive outlets such as paintings, sculptures, music, literature and other art forms,
artists preserve life as we know it even better than historical fact-based records. Art expresses how it felt to exist in a particular time.
Ancient artists showcased their daily lives in the form of cave paintings and petroglyphs in Bhimbhetka, Venus of Berekhat Ram, and others
around the world. These expressive outlets showcased life hundreds of thousands of years ago in its most accurate form.
Art is also communicative—it helps people from various cultures understand and communicate with each other through songs, pictures and
stories. People often relate to other societies and cultures through their artistic representations. An excellent example of this is people
connecting images of barn houses and windmills to Holland and of the Taj Mahal to India.

have transformed their education and learning, the way they make and maintain friendships, how they spend their leisure time, and their
engagement with wider society. UNICEF's State of the World's Children 2017: Children in a Digital World report reveals that one in three
internet users is younger than 18 years and 71% of 15–24-year-olds are online, making them the most connected age group worldwide.
However, the so-called digital divide is substantial: 346 million youth are not online, with African adolescents the most affected (60% are
not connected compared with 4% in Europe). Young people who lack digital skills, live in remote regions, or speak a minority language are
also being left behind in harnessing the opportunities that digital technologies can provide. These benefits include access to education,
training, and jobs, which can help break intergenerational cycles of poverty, and access to news and information sources that can help
protect their health, safety, and rights.
The effect of the content children encounter online should be a focus of future studies. Some websites and apps present a risk to the health of
vulnerable youth, such as those that promote self-harm, suicide, or anorexia. Others support underage activities, such as gambling. A 2017
survey found that 3% of 11-16-year-olds in the UK have spent some of their own money on online gambling, and 7% have used their
parents' accounts, with or without their permission.

For centuries in Vietnam, traditional family values were accomplished by the fulfillment of traditional roles the role of man and woman as
parents. Since the highest status in Vietnamese families is given to the man or the father, he had absolute authority in the household. As he
provided the main source of income, he was never expected to work in the kitchen or to cook. After work, he returned home and relaxed. As
a head of household, he had the final decision in all matters. The father, however, had the duty to exercise restraint and wisdom in running
his family in order to deserve his respected position.
Having a boy in family was a “must” because the eldest son would assume the duties of his father when he died. A family which had no son
to continue the process was superstitiously thought to have disappeared forever.
https://vietnamdiscovery.com/culture-arts/vietnamese-traditional-family-values/
Younger Koreans, influenced by technology and media, are less family-focused. They no longer see themselves as part of a family
collective. Instead, they focus on individual empowerment. This has caused family tensions. Parents and grandparents grow increasingly
upset with children who don’t take care of them, abandoning traditions and leaving them to care for themselves. On the opposite side,
children and grandchildren feel that this structure is outdated and too restricting.
While in traditional times it was typical for aged parents to live with their grown children, in modern times this is less common. Older
Koreans are also expressing more independence. Many prefer to live alone or with just their spouses.

In Italian culture, the family is a large part of society. It seems like an institution that supports and inspires individuals. The family unit in
Italy plays an important role in the development of individuals, particularly children. This family culture is unique to the country, which can
be challenging to understand for those who are not familiar with it. We will explore the role of the family in Italian culture and how it differs
from other cultures.
In the Italian family, each member has an equally important role to play in the family unit. An Italian family consists of a father, a mother,
and their unmarried children. The couple usually has two children, but it can vary depending on the culture and traditions of the country.

Translation in the media is important for several reasons. Firstly, it helps to break down language barriers and connect diverse audiences
around the world. This is particularly important in today's globalized world, where people from different countries and cultures can interact
and engage with each other more easily than ever before. Secondly, translation in the media plays a crucial role in preserving cultural
identity and diversity. It helps to ensure that different cultures and languages are represented and celebrated in the media. Thirdly, translation
in the media promotes global understanding and empathy between cultures. By enabling people to access content from different parts of the
world, it helps to foster cross-cultural exchange and dialogue.
https://translated-into.com/blog/translation-in-the-media--its-role-and-importance
Media translation is the translation of a company’s media content, so that the company can engage with audiences in new locations. It covers
news item translation, video translation and plenty more.
In our modern era of globalisation, many companies want to engage with audiences in more than one country in order to sell their products
and raise awareness of their brand. Media translation can help to achieve this goal.
Media content often includes a promotional or marketing element, so it’s wise for companies to choose their translator(s) carefully when
converting media content to other languages. Marketing translation expertise should be high up on the list of experience of those undertaking
the work.

Every fan of reading knows that the great classics of world literature remain in the collective memory of humanity. However, for this
phenomenon to happen not everything is reduced to the imagination, style and writing of an exceptional author, but it is the literary
translation that makes possible the success of a text around the globe.
For those titles such as Anna Karénina, the Harry Potter saga and even The Bible to be the most widely read books in the world today, the
work of professional translators has simply become indispensable. Literary or editorial translators have the ability to enhance a work to such
an extent that in many cases their name appears on the covers of the books in question.
Unlike other themes, in literary translation it is not only about making a novel, a poem, a play or a story intelligible in other languages;
rather, the role of the professional translator is also to give life to a “new” work that preserves the stamp of a specific author.

https://www.tealhq.com/post/how-to-find-your-career-passion
The Deloitte research describes "worker passion" as something that motivates us to dig into the tough problems and sustains us through
challenges and setbacks. This type of passion brings out our desire to figure something out, to learn faster, to make an impact. It’s important
to understand the distinction between passions and core values. Everyone has their own set of core values that guide them and shape how
they feel about their work or work environment. Strong core values might include discipline, perseverance, playfulness, learning, excellence,
and resilience.
https://www.betterup.com/blog/how-to-find-your-passion
When we are young, it is easy to daydream about what we want to be when we grow up and we think of becoming an astronaut, doctor,
fireman or broadway singer – but as the realities of adult life set in, we often abandon those dreams and work towards a ‘practical
profession’ that will help us pay the bills. If we revisit those dreams in adulthood, they are often met with criticism from well-meaning (but
often misguided) friends, family or colleagues. Of course, they only want to ensure the best for you and may use these dream-crushing
“reality checks” to keep you safe from the unknown, but is finding your career passion really the worst idea?

A person who rushes into a burning building to save another person is not just extraordinarily brave; he or she also possesses an ability to
overcome fear. Researchers suggest that heroic individuals are positive thinkers by nature, which contributes to their ability to look past the
immediate danger of a situation and see a more optimistic outcome.
In many cases, these individuals may also have a higher tolerance for risk. Plenty of caring and kind people might shrink back in the face of
danger. Those who do leap into action are typically more likely to take greater risks in multiple aspects of their lives.
https://www.verywellmind.com/characteristics-of-heroism-2795943
Superheroes are powerful and inspiring fictional entities who fight for justice and protect the innocent. While some have superhumani
tendencies, such as super-speed, ability to fly, laser visioni, and great strength, others do not have any superpowers but are strong, virtuous,
courageous, intelligent, and trained to fight.
Superheroes are selfless and defend good, innocent, and pure lives. Despite extreme obstacles, they find the strength to persevere and
triumph and instill faith and hope in humanity. Even with extraordinary powers, they are humble and righteous. They are the torchbearersi of
justice and show us that good always prevails over evil. With great power comes great responsibility, which they happily shoulder and yet
remain generous and modest.
https://www.momjunction.com/articles/positive-negative-impact-of-superheroes-on-children_00692531/
Children look up to their favorite people and follow their behavior, ethics, and decision-making skills. It is essential to have positive role
models who evoke admiration to cultivate the development of good traits. Superheroes can be good role models as they teach children
various attributes such as courage, honesty, humility, fighting spirit, sense of responsibility, and leadership. Therefore, exposing children to
admirable characters who embody positive morality is important.
A perfect example of humility is Superman. He is so powerful that he can rule the world, yet he chooses to help people and works as a
reporter to earn money. Children can learn such traits and follow them in life

https://www.thecollector.com/united-nations-history-how-it-was-founded/
The United Nations (U.N.) is a global diplomatic and political organization dedicated to international peace and stability. The U.N. was
officially established in 1945 following the horrific events of World War II, when international leaders proposed creating a new global
organization to maintain peace and avoid the abuses of war. The U.N. initially had just 51 member states; today, the organization, which is
headquartered in New York City, has 193 members. Major U.N. initiatives include preventing conflict by exploring options to ensure peace,
providing food and medical assistance in emergencies, and offering humanitarian support to millions of people around the world. While the
United Nations is sometimes criticized for its policies, bureaucracy and spending, the organization has accomplished hundreds of successful
peacekeeping missions.
https://www.history.com/topics/stories/united-nations
The main function of the United Nations is to preserve international peace and security. Chapter 6 of the Charter provides for the pacific
settlement of disputes, through the intervention of the Security Council, by means such as negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and judicial
decisions. The Security Council may investigate any dispute or situation to determine whether it is likely to endanger international peace and
security. At any stage of the dispute, the council may recommend appropriate procedures or methods of adjustment, and, if the parties fail to
settle the dispute by peaceful means, the council may recommend terms of settlement.
The goal of collective security, whereby aggression against one member is met with resistance by all, underlies chapter 7 of the Charter,
which grants the Security Council the power to order coercive measures—ranging from diplomatic, economic, and military sanctions to the
use of armed force—in cases where attempts at a peaceful settlement have failed. Such measures were seldom applied during the Cold War,
however, because tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union prevented the Security Council from agreeing on the instigators
of aggression. Instead, actions to maintain peace and security often took the form of preventive diplomacy and peacekeeping. In the post-
Cold War period, appeals to the UN for peacekeeping and related activities increased dramatically, and new threats to international peace
and security were confronted, including AIDS and international terrorism.

and-inequality/
Some people imagine that in a rich region like the EU no one can be poor or if they are it must be the result of some personal failings or
problems. However, this is not the case. The overall persistent high level of poverty in the EU suggest that poverty is primarily the
consequence of the way society is organised and resources are allocated, whether these are financial or other resources such as access to
housing, health and social services, education and other economic, social and cultural services.
https://www.eapn.eu/what-is-poverty/causes-of-poverty-and-inequality
Today, highly biased regimes of international trade, finance and taxation mean that at least ten times as much finance flows from developing
countries to the rich world than is provided by donor governments as overseas aid. As a result of these unjust arrangements of the global
economy, the wealthiest 20 percent of the world’s population enjoy nearly 83 percent of total global income, whereas the poorest 20 percent
receive a mere 1 percent. In recent years, this concentration of wealth has become increasingly extreme, with one percent of the richest
people in the world owning $110 trillion - 65 times the total wealth of the bottom half of the world’s population.

Hundreds are expected to descend on the local park for Cancer Research UK’s popular fundraising event. This year marks the 30th year of
Race for Life with participants receiving a special medal to mark the milestone.
Those taking part in the Falkirk event will be completing a 3k, 5k or 10k route around the park on Sunday morning, with the distance events
starting at 10.30am. There’s also a chance for both kids and adults to get covered in mud as the Pretty Muddy obstacle course returns in the
afternoon.
Boys and girls between the ages of five and 12 are able to complete the Pretty Muddy Kids event which starts at noon before teenagers and
adults take on the Pretty Muddy course from 12.30pm.
Over the years the local event has attracted thousands of participants all wanting to help fundraise for the charity. The annual race attracts
huge numbers as people run in memory of loved ones, or celebrate their own cancer journey by helping to turn the park pink.
Every year around 33,200 people are diagnosed with cancer in Scotland. Money raised at Race for Life events around the country enables
scientists to find new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer, helping to save more lives.
A Cancer Research UK spokeswoman said: “Race for Life is a powerful way to celebrate and remember loved ones affected by cancer and
to raise money for pioneering research. Whether people are living with cancer, taking part in honour of, or in memory of, a loved one with
cancer or signing up to protect their own children’s future, everyone has a reason to Race for Life.

Accessible sports should be available in every school because they support unity and inclusivity for all members of the community.
Accessible sports encourage people to be independent, rely on themselves and acknowledge what they bring to the table. They challenge
people to improve both physically and mentally to persevere and overcome challenges. It is important for people to be able to adapt to be
successful in life.
There are many kinds of sports for people with disabilities, such as wheelchair basketball, seated volleyball, and beeping baseball (a form of
baseball for the blind). Accessible sports can be for anyone, such as people who are injured but still want to stay fit. When I played
basketball, I understood the importance of accessible sports and had lots of fun! This just shows that no matter what disability you have, you
can still play sports.

https://weezevent.com/en-ca/blog/organise-sports-event/
Mass participation sports events are commonly associated with large participation numbers, usually in the tens of thousands. From
traditional events such as marathons, triathlons and cycling events to the newer formats of obstacle races such as Spartan Race and themed
events like Hello Kitty Run and The Color Run, these races are regularly attracting participants en masse. As a result, these events are a
large-scale operation, requiring careful planning and good infrastructure especially considering it requires the closure of public areas and
roads.
Mass participation sports events have really kicked off in Asia in the past decade or so, with races such as the Hong Kong and Singapore
Marathons regularly attracting tens of thousands of participants. Over the years, mass participation sports events have also caught on
elsewhere in the region; by some estimates, Malaysia had around 800 running events in 2016, in 2017 the number had increased to over
1000, and by the end of this year, experts estimate that more than 1200 running events will have been held in the country. A similar trend is
seen in China, which saw around 400 marathons last year, according to some estimates.
