Energy Break-Through
It is a well-known fact that our dear world is no longer in a healthy state. Global warming, unexpected climate changes, and natural disasters have become somewhat part of our lives. The way we are exploiting earthly resources is beyond imagination, and it is adversely affecting earths well-being. Fossil fuels have always been a big part of our lives, and they still are, but we all know burning down of fossil fuels means harming our surroundings, harming the surroundings and environment of earth. A break-though, a new discovery was required in times of great despair, and it came in the shape of a Molecule. https//www.nbcnews.com/mach/science/scientists-are-trying-bottle-solar-energy-turn-it-liquid-fuel-ncna930676
After long lasting research and experimenting, a storage system for storing solar power is happening as we speak of it and it will become available within ten years time. Researchers from Chalmers University have found a way to use this molecule in the form of liquid and use its properties for the benefits of mankind. This will greatly decrease our dependency on fossil fuels, and hence our surroundings will be cleared off from toxic fumes from burning them. In contrast to oil, coal and gaseous petrol, this fuel is reusable and ecologically acceptable (Sebastian, 2018). They discharge energy minus releasing carbon dioxide and various ozone-harming substances in the environment.
Energy system functions on a rotatory manner. For starters, energy is captured from the sunlight by liquid, in a solar thermal collector present on roof of the building. After that, it is stored at room temperature. When the energy is required, it can be haggard from the catalyst so the liquid heats up. Yen Strandqvist. Solar thermal fuel is the same as a rechargeable battery, but in place of electricity, sunlight is used to obtain heat, activated on ultimatum, says Jeffrey Grossman, who heads a lab at MIT that functions on such materials.
This huge development in the energy sector is going to change the literal meaning of energy and power. Many more developments are required, but this kind of work is being carried out by many international universities and research facilities. What is required right now is to make different kinds of fuel variants of this thermal fuel energy that is suitable for all sectors. Home, office and industrial sectors are to benefit a lot from this in the coming years or as soon as relative variants are constructed. At present, the biggest issue is the efficiency of the fuel. Only the shortest wavelengths are capable of providing the energy. The full light spectrum of the solar energy is not being utilized.
Team researcher Kasper Moth-Poulsen at Chalmers University is striving to enhance the efficiency of the system, so the required results are achieved. The milestone, his research team, has achieved is that this energy system is non-toxic and reusable and recyclable after going through hundreds of cycles. After passing recorder 125 cycles, the molecule stays in its natural state and has whatsoever no effect on the surrounding environment. A lot of crucial advances have been made by us lately, and as to this day we have an emissions-free energy system which functions all around the year, Moth-Poulsen added in a university press release.
This new discovery is going to have a very positive effect and will play a huge role in our stand and fight against the global warming which is a very serious issue, and without taking proper measurements, we will be getting ourselves into a great deal of misery. The ozone layer is depleting rapidly, and we are still burning fossils for meeting our daily energy needs. Many steps are being taken at the international forums and at the world stage, but with this new discovery, we can now finally feel a sense of relief in the atmosphere.
Government Shutdown
Government shutdowns are very rare in some parts of the world while they are quite common in other parts. The inclusiveness of the governmental institutions will never allow any kind of shutdown. Asian countries have seen many governmental shutdowns and military coups but now is becoming a part of past and countries are moving on to a much prosper life. But these shutdowns made life difficult for the public. The recent Trumps government shutdown has impacted the social life in America to greater extents.
https//www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/02/04/state-union-donald-trumps-agenda-faces-stiff-political-headwinds/2703469002/
US organizations are planning for a probability of a new government shutdown that could start again on 15 February if President Donald Trump and bipartisan Congressional board neglect to concede to tactics for safety at the US-Mexico outskirt (Malakoff, 2019). Science-affiliated offices have been evaluating the effect of ongoing incomplete government shutdown, which kept going 35 days and finished on 25 January, they are additionally trying to keep the offices open regardless of another shutdown later in the week.
The loss of a month can be really hurtful for the people who are working on things that tend to be time-sensitive or who have just started with their work. Albert Presto
This government shutdown has left millions without salary and made legislators on both sides angry about Trumps decision and now that he is planning another shutdown just to achieve the desired result of building a Wall alongside US-Mexico border. Its not been a promising start lets be honest, said Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio. Weve been in a fight, and its been over an issue that caused harm to the economy and to the country. But I think we can get beyond it now.
This has been an international issue for the past month as Trumps government was in headlines all over the world. Demanding Billions of dollars from the Congress to build the wall and warning for another governmental shutdown has made him vulnerable and wounded. Of the around 800,000 representatives in the nine Cabinet divisions and different littler offices for whom the subsidizing has slipped, around 380,000 at first were granted leave deprived of salary with the others as yet employed lacking wage. Here is what a Congressional Research Service report has to say With regard to the Presidents pay, Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution forbids the salary of the President to be reduced while he or she is in office, thus effectively guaranteeing the President of compensation regardless of any shutdown action.
https//www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/politics/government-shutdown-faq/utm_term.6a4cfcf1b469
In regards to Congress associates the CRS report states that, because of their protected duties and a changeless appointment for congressional wage, Congress associates are not given a leave of absence. Moreover, Article I, Section 6, of the Constitution expresses that Members of Congress will get a Compensation for their Services, to be discovered by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. So, the federal government officials and elected personnel were not affected by this shutdown. The constitution is protecting the officials and not the citizens, which needs to be amended as well so as to distribute the right equally.
The recognizable highlight of this shutdown is that it hasnt created the sort of prompt backfire that constrains the two sides to come back to arrangements. A complete look at general conclusion encompassing the pause and its focal issue demonstrates why Post-midterm elections, the two gatherings have become so energized, and voters so ancestral, that theirs is no specific important issue that needs to be the center of attention. While Trumps general notoriety has floated to the lower scope of his administration, at around 40 percent, Republicans havent surrendered him and are still backing him up with his policies. A new shutdown might happen as its being heard from all around and who knows what the new policy of the Trump administration will be regarding this shutdown and how will the government pay heed to the affected families.
Information Technology
Novel progression particularly in the turf of data revolution/information technology have carried fresh rational gains to individuals, however, it should to be observed that passageway of new rational and mechanical fields will reliably have moral problems and boundaries. One fascinating and, clearly, new points in the field of data novelty science is Computer ethics or IT Ethics. The study of these ethics has been reflected on by the scientists. Nowadays, in the advanced era, general public is topic to PCs in practically the totality of its undertakings, and the study of ethics in the field of PC and data revolution and information technology should reliably be deliberated.
With the progression in the field of IT and internet, people from all over the world have stored and shared their personal data and information by trusting blindly on advanced information systems, and this has led to many types of privacy and data violations (Zurawski, 2018). The numbers are still increasing just as the advancement is taking place. The blind trust in information technology has caused serious trouble.
While it is now a common norm that unethical sites are now accessible easily by everyone no matter the group age. This hands-on availability of access is causing serious ethical issues in the societies, and theres no one paying heed on this. Identity theft, sexual crimes, abductions and meeting with strangers is getting very common because of availability and ease of access of such sites. This is causing the new generation to be more prone to crimes and hate violence. This type of behavior needs to be kept in check at all times, and the access of these kinds of unethical sites must be restricted. The access of the internet given to children must be counter checked.
http//thesai.org/Downloads/Volume8No10/Paper_19-The_Ethical_and_Social_Issues_of_Information_Technology.pdf
Unapproved and illegal admittance to frameworks is completed using astonishing and novel techniques and is growing each day. Nowadays programmers and hackers have signified the greatest test in contradiction of IT ethics, and with a far-reaching breach, they make various activities to influence the business and saving money accounts of individuals and try to disregard peoples safety. Many PC games are vicious and revitalize powerful withdrawn conduct nevertheless fierce inspections and sentiments.
Lately, creating computerized reports, for instance, falsifying progressive marks, advanced images, and so on is an essential theme in the turf of data security and PC morals. Internet betting (using the websites where persons can take a notice in a variety of recreations lacking being accessible physically at the place, in which everything is done online from inaugurating a record to swapping reserves, extractions, playing games, and so forth.) is increasing. Scenarios, for instance, cyber disturbing, cybercrimes and talking with unidentified individuals, visiting them, sharing pictures and videos on Internet, and sharing separate data on the Internet have been apparent as the perils of Internet exchanges in the new era.
An examination led in the United States of America in 2012 amid the men demonstrated that introduction to deceptive and unethical websites had prompted high-hazard sexual conduct among them. Numerous researches are focused on the subject of sexually transferred pictures and videos since 2009 in numerous nations of the world including the United States, the Czech Republic, Australia, Canada, China, and the United Kingdom. It ought to be noticed that inquiries taken place in Nationwide Movement for the Deterrence of Juvenile Wounds and Pregnancies in the United States have displayed critical results in the predominance of sexting among youthful net and mobile clients. A wide scope of PC games incites viciousness in a roundabout way. Brutal computer recreations animate savage contemplations and emotions, as well as incite forceful and solitary practices.
Climate Change
Global warming is a serious issue and perhaps the only serious issue that we all are facing now. The temperature of the earth is rising, and soon it will cause a huge natural catastrophe. Oceans, rivers earths water will be bluer and greener as the time will pass. These changes are happening at the very moment but and not visible to our naked eye.
Climate alteration stances a rising danger to the glaciers found in the Hindu Kush and Himalayan mountain ranges, rendering to a new report.
https//www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-47122641
The total emission of carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere is depleting the huge glaciers of Hindu Kush and Himalaya. This will increase rapidly because of global warming and environmental pollution. Population growth is worsening global conditions, and all the natural resources will soon be on the verge of extinction (Evans, 2019). More than half of the glaciers will deplete by the end of 2100 if the global temperature is risen by 2 Celsius. No serious precaution or any strong step is going to change this situation. The icy masses or we can say glaciers are a basic water store for the 250 million individuals who live in the Hindu Kush and Himalaya locale, and 1.65 billion individuals depend on the incredible streams that spill out of the tops into India, Pakistan, China, and different countries.
More than 15 of the ice in the Hindu Kush and Himalayan areas has vanished as temperatures have risen. Be that as it may, the Hindu Kush and the Himalayan range is 3,500km long and the effect of warming is may vary within the area covered. A few icy masses in Afghanistan and Pakistan are steady, and a couple is notwithstanding picking up ice, most likely because of expanded overcast cover that shields the sun and changed breezes that bring more snow. But with such a disastrous condition of the climate and the current global warming predictions, these ranges will start melting their ice in the near future.
Global warming is going to change the concept of glaciers in the coming years, where glaciers will melt, and the peaks of the mountains will be left as simple rocks in no less than a century said by Wester of the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD).
The rain and snowfall precipitations have likewise changed as the atmosphere has warmed. Most snowfall in the high mountains along the eastern swath of the district falls amid the late spring when the amazing rainstorm noses up into the mountains. Yet, in late decades, that rainstorm has debilitated, keeping the mountains from the snow that encourages icy masses. This rainstorm is anticipated to debilitate further, later on, further disturbing basic water supplies to landowners that depend on it. https//www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2019/02/himalaya-mountain-climate-change-report/
A recent study has shown that because of the rising temperature and negative effects of global warming, more than 1.4 million lakes that used to freeze every year are now seeing many iceless years. This is specific and very much happening in the Northern Hemisphere. Further studies show that this will move from Northern to Southern Hemisphere in the upcoming years until and unless a harsh step is taken. https//www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/02/05/climate/melting-lake-ice-global-warming.html
The presence of aerosols is increasing as the temperature of the earth surface is rising which is one of the most disturbing climate change effect being studied at the moment. As per analysts from the University of California, Riverside in the US, environmental change and global warming is not only warming the sea, it is warming the land quicker, which is terrible news for the quality of air everywhere throughout the world. And these aerosols are causing smog and other air pollutions and less rainfall. This needs to be addressed at all levels as people around the globe will be affected equally and harshly if the challenge at hand is not dealt with iron hands.
Immigration
Immigration is becoming the center of attention for everyone around the globe. The news and headlines are incomplete without the term immigration. As our world has now become a global village, it has become easier to move around the world, or we can say to immigrate from one country to another. And it will become easier as countries need more people to populate itself and make itself stronger economically and politically. Immigration is the way to do it. Each country has a system of immigration which provides every single person around the globe to immigrate to any country he or she desires. People apply for asylum as well to move, but their motives and conditions are different.
http//theconversation.com/how-countries-use-migration-diplomacy-to-pursue-their-own-interests-110533
http//www.globalissues.org/article/537/immigration
The case of Rahaf Muhammad made headlines when she applied for asylum, and Canada accepted and invited her with all its warmth. The Saudi teen was running from her family, and now she resides in Canada. This puts a bad image of her family and her mother-country in front of the world while makes Canada look more welcoming and accepting (Beine Coulombe, 2018). This migration and asylum diplomacy is very well understood as it is known that Canada needs manpower and is thriving and pushing harder to welcome more people from around the world.
Even though there is a cold war going on between Saudi Arabia and Canada, the Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau, said Canada is a country that recognizes how vital it is to stand up for human rights, to stand up for womens rights around the world.
Same can be applied for many other countries who are a part of this and have a different agreement with each other just for the sake of gaining control over the borders and gaining certain exercising powers over other countries. But what of the people who are just moving from one place to another to earn a livelihood and make their lives a little better. The construction of Wall is very famous in the United States as Mr. Trump is going toe to toe with Democrats in his legislation for building a wall bordering Mexico and substantially changing the immigration policies under his presidentship. The favorites are the, and Mr. Trump still insists on constructing a wall even though the issue of illegal immigration will not be hindered as millions are undocumented workers in the States.
Unlawful migration is a recurrent difficulty fronting many progressive economies today. In 2014, for instance, more than 276,000 immigrants arrived the European Union unlawfully, a figure probable to ascend in the approaching years. Across the Atlantic, a conservative estimation is that there are 11.5 million unlawful immigrants living in the United States. Illegal immigration, unemployment, and multiple destinations
The migration diplomacy has now become a permanent part of foreign policies. Elections are won and fought on this statecraft, and it doesnt matter if they are pursued afterward or not but they have become the center of attention. The Arab world has been in a state of shock over the past decade because of ongoing terrorism which has made the migration policies difficult. People now have a negative mindset when they are asked about the migration setup and how they would want more people entering their country. Leftist and rightist wings also have a strong voice in terming and structuring the migration policy for their countries, and this is to get common in each country.
People are getting more private and conserve and are not ready to accept a lenient foreign policy. Developing and underdeveloped countries are the main targets as people from such countries are striving to move to a developed country, either legally or illegally. If the process of migration keeps getting strict and more conservative, then its bound to make people take illegal measures. This global village is based on the fact that everything is available and possible at ones doorstep and that people can communicate and trade freely. So, it should not make things worse for the present world rather it should make things easier.
