EUROPE

IN 4 WORDS

UNITY Union of different people and countries, with a dissimilar skin, feelings, religions that they are part in the same group.

CULTURE Is important for Europe, because in the past, there are a different people, religions and languages, and they have a mark for actuallity.

Now there are differents religions. People in global, they think, that culture is the creation and implementation of values, norms and material goods for the human being.

PEACE When we think about Europe, it usually comes to our mind the idea of peace, because we are a develop country, tecnecly democrathyc who and though to solve problems with words.

Well so let me explain the dictionary’s definition: peace occurs between social groups (as Europe) and it is charactizied by happiness (we can be happy by ourselves not by our good Europe’s possessions), a lack of conflict behaviours (we have lots of conflicts in Europe), and a freedom from fear of violence (in Paris they explose a company of journalist because of a joke of a charicature in a diary).

So yes there is peace in Europe, but just remember that we are too far awey to achive a peace continent.

POVERTY Europe might seem equal but in fact there are a lot of differences between our states. One of these things is the economy: In the big, mostly north European, urban jungle there is in most cases a good economy and a comfortable living standard. Unfortunately if we cross the roads we see a lot of homeless people walking around in order to find something to eat. But also families with parents without employment. Their kids grow up without modest facilities and they cannot participate in (sports) activities.

Poverty in Europe This is one of the points we don´t consider when we think about the European Union. We don´t realize that there are people who are suffering to come around every single month.

When we think of poverty we think of the southern Sahara countries and of economic refugees coming towards Europe in the hope to find better life opportunities. But how about our own European inhabitants? Don´t we want them to live a life with better job opportunities, education and other possibilities to live a successful life? The answer is yes, indeed we want our people to be successful in their own way.

How are we going to beat poverty?

If we want to find a solution for poverty in each European country we must think about whose problem we are talking about. Is this a question for the European council or for the government of each European country? In this case the European states should discuss with each other in order to brainstorm about possible solutions to make an end to poverty in Europe. The performance however is a task for the states government. Summarizing I want to tell you we don´t have to solve problems together, but we can at least learn from each other what the possibilities are for solving a problem from different aspects.
