I think that in my local community, Nigerians, Lagosians in short have resolved to catering only for their daily bread. No one is interested in making a change, except if it will benefit them. Our mindset is flawed and it is influencing the progress of Lagos and Nigeria, negatively.

Oxford Street Fast Fashion (consumerism)

2017-02-06 20:20:07 UTC

As the Mayor himself said, on some days, Oxford street is the most polluted street in the world. As well as the business of cars a buses, Oxford street is jammed with over 300 stores and is packed with around half a million obsessive consumerists a day. Can you imagine the amount of money people spend on this street? Now imagine how much waste it produces and where all goes after that? That's right back into the environment. Fast fashion is a problem because people no longer purchase with the thought of how regularly they will use something, how it can be recycled or if it was ethically made in the first place. Fast fashion not only causes environmental problems, but women and children all over the world are victims of poor workplace standards as a result.

Scholar inequality is a real problem in France. Children should receive the same skills and capacity to achieve at school. But french education system apply equality of treatment, not equity. Since a very young age, cultural inequality turn to scholar inequality and the educational system don't do nothing to face this problem. That's why I gave free private lesson to teenager in economy and sociology. Support organizations who fight against this problem is very important in France.

Gaming addiction in Russia

silinaelena0 — 2017-02-08 17:19:08 UTC

Nearly 14% of Russian kids of ages from 12 till 18 have a gaming addiction. They get so absorbed into virtual reality games that forget about schools and universities, friends and parents. They lose motivation to work, do sports, do well in schools. The effects of gaming on psychology, mental state are still yet to be discovered. But Russia seems to be losing the next generation of driven and motivated to succeed workforce. Russia doesnt have a system of nurseries or hospitals to treat people with severe gaming addiction like in South Korea. The challenge for Russian communities is to start recognizing that this is a big problem and to find solutions of deal with this problem

There are individuals and groups that are beginning to work within the school systems to offer vocational programming, so students can learned skills that will prepare them for the workforce even if they do not plan on going to college. Its a step, but there's still a long way to go!

Access to quality mental health care, lack of housing for those who already live in London and being pushed out by property tycoons selling new builds overseas before giving locals a chance - hiking up house prices and rent even more, integration of communities, air pollution. Large businesses and organisations taking over and rise in business taxes driving smaller business out.

Deindustrialisation and failed regeneration attempts

2017-02-14 21:54:20 UTC

Many ex-mining towns in the North and Midlands in the UK continue to suffer from the effects of deindustrialisation and failed regeneration attempts. These towns then become full of boarded up shops, there are little employment opportunities (except when Amazon builds a massive factory on the edge of these towns), and lots of young people move out to seek work in cities.

Tijuana, México

gina7_13 — 2017-02-15 01:46:04 UTC

Accelerated growth of the city has greatly impacted the city’s chaotic infrastructure creating problems such as: insufficient affordable housing options, self-built housing in very poor conditions where there is no access to water, sewer, electricity infrastructure, inefficient public transport system, and lack of public spaces, etc.

In my community in rural Kenya, education is a luxury, not a human right. Most adults have not even finished primary school which makes breaking the cycle of poverty extremely challenging

This is the burning office of a our Minister of Agriculture who is under investigation for corrupt purchase of maize, our staple, after we have emerged from a year of droughts and floods. It is the second time his office has caught fire during an investigation AND the second time the evidence on his computer and in his files has been "accidentally" destroyed. People are complaining about it in their offices, on their social media, but there is no protest, no real effort to bring him to justice.

In London, there are many areas of affluence yet within these foodbanks, community shelters for homelessness and help with hot showers for those who can't pay for hot water etc. There might be people on the same street living in these conditions but they are hidden and remain unseen and/or unconcerning for the majority of affluent people who are ok.

The main problem in Colombia is the corruption. We keep electing governors that do not care about people and are stealing the money that should be instead injected to education, to entrepreneurship, etc. But it is also about the indifference of people that don't believe they should participate politically and elect the people that are going to be in charge of the country.

Even when education is claimed to be available to all, sometimes the cost of a uniform and notebooks can be prohibitive for families who want to send their children to school.

Several hundred people overdosed in just one month, and the problem affects not only addicts with little access to support, but also recreational drug users amongst which are many young kids. A massive over prescription of pharmaceutical opioids spurred a huge wave of addiction and now the government lacks the resources to properly address the problem.

Young people don't have passion and interest in doing this job. 2) Limited access to the broader markets. 3) Finding high quality rattan as weaving material gets harder and harder. 4) Pricing is still a problem. 5) Distribution from villages to the city is complicated and expensive.

At the same time, there are health issues with other citizens in the country. Additionally, people produce a large amount of waste such as food waste and throwing away recyclable materials. In our rivers, tin cans, plastic and garbage can often be seen floating. However, water pollution is not the only type of pollution we face as open burning is a frequent occurrence in my country.

2017-12-05 09:10:42 UTC

The young people in the age group of 10-24 yr in India constitutes one of the precious resources of India characterized by growth and development and is a phase of vulnerability often influenced by several intrinsic and extrinsic factors that affect their health and safety. Nearly 10-30 per cent of young people suffer from health impacting behaviours and conditions that need urgent attention of policy makers and public health professionals. Nutritional disorders (both malnutrition and over-nutrition), tobacco use, harmful alcohol use, other substance use, high risk sexual behaviours, stress, common mental disorders, and injuries (road traffic injuries, suicides, violence of different types) specifically affect this population and have long lasting impact. Multiple behaviours and conditions often coexist in the same individual adding a cumulative risk for their poor health. Many of these being precursors and determinants of non communicable diseases (NCDs) including mental and neurological disorders and injuries place a heavy burden on Indian society in terms of mortality, morbidity, disability and socio-economic losses. Many health policies and programmes have focused on prioritized individual health problems and integrated (both vertical and horizontal) coordinated approaches are found lacking. Healthy life-style and health promotion policies and programmes that are central for health of youth, driven by robust population-based studies are required in India which will also address the growing tide of NCDs and injuries
