What's Left Behind After 50 Years, at least...

Today, we lived in bright technologies. The power of click and swipe is on your fingertips. Within 30 years, the dull life in the past is now full of colours. Back to many years ago, people were still fighting for life, cold war between neighbourhood, foul negotiation, and food struggling. History is what we have today and we received it in books and teachings. Old people told us that everything is fine now. Everything is about war and peace, love and justice. That's how they say.

War 

During 1990-2002, the statistic shows that the world is still fighting for life. Kuwait was invaded in 1990, 9 countries were involved in Persian Gulf War, patriotic war in Rwandan 1990-93, rebellious act in Mali and Niger in 1990-95, ten days of war between Slovenia-Yugoslavia in 1991, War of Transnistria 1992, twice civil war in Afghanistan, famous Kosovo war that produced thousands of refugees, never-ending fight between India and Pakistan in 1999, the Second Intifada by Israel in 2005, and the on-going war in Afghanistan caused by the incident of 11 September.

2003 was the year of full invasion in Iraq, when one of the old city and the earliest place of human civilization had ruined by human's desire, lust and revenge. It was the opened and declared war that leads to more nuclear, more destructive equipment. Few wars are still ongoing such as Darfur War, Balochistan Conflict, North-West Pakistan War, South Thailand insurgency, Mexican Drug War, Somalia War, Yemeni Al-Qaeda War and more. 

During 2011, another war happened at Libya, in Egypt, part of Syria and the whole Palestine. Even the hot story between Israel-Palestine seems calm a bit now, there's no guarantee for the next fight. As far as I can remember the whole history and religions, this war could take forever. While in 2012, fights were continued at Eastern Europe, Central and Southern Asia, Middle East, Africa, East Asia and Oceania, and Americas.

And early in this year, the latest and undeclared war happened at Sabah, Malaysia as the result of greed-for-power-attention-and-money. Recently, the island fight between China-South Korea-Japan is still ongoing and the result is still unknown.

Global Warming

Global warming is a crucial attention for us. For those who did not concern, we're heading to hot place to live, which is not so hot in term of fashion or lifestyle. It is really hot, it is part of the sign that worldwide climate is changing.

According to statistics, average temperature have climbed, the warming rate is increasing last 2 decades, the Arctic has exposed to the climate hazard, and ice area is rapidly disappearing which caused the rise of sea level and environment changing for sea-marine creatures. Glaciers and mountains began to melt, coral reefs become very sensitive upon sunlight, and few extreme weather events, such as wild fire, heat waves, and strong tropical storms. This situation leads to people's health, economy and communities.

Extreme weather climate give impacts to the world for insufficient food supplies, more disease to resolve. During Kosovo, Somalia and Darfur War, refugees were suffered to death because of food poisoning, starvation, high fever and bad environment. Carbon pollution is the main reason our planet is getting hotter, caused by a high technology of vehicles, transportation and nuclear R&D. The ignorance by the inventors now caused the living things to lived in risk. 

We're living in this old world that sick everyday.

Foods

We are living in this world with a different type of foods. We loved foods and we eat everyday. But there's a part of this world involved in food insufficiency. In large countries with large population such as Africa, India and China, people were suffering by food insufficiency which caused them involved in physical and mental health.

Food insufficiency caused war, people were fighting for food and better life. Even in this modern world, few countries are struggled to lived and starving. The modern starvation mostly caused by weather changing, wars and politics leads to the serious health problem such as malnutrition, hunger edema-deadly famine, infections, vitamins  deficiency, and loss of infants. The loss of infants now becomes a huge problem for the growth of world population and the continuous of human race. Foods are really a road to survival.

Another result of food insufficiency is mental health. Craving for foods caused enforcement, unable to control mind, addiction, few signs of low morality and the worse of all, the desire to kill.

What's left behind after 50 years, at least without any control of this...?
Listen to MKTO- Thank You song, you will understand what am I telling you about.
