TECHNICAL PROBLEMS
EXAMPLES
Chemical weapons
Genetic engeneering
Nuclear energy
CHEMICAL WEAPONS
Chemical weapons are mostly man-made toxins
Countries are suspected of chemical weapons
For example Iran, Iraq, USA, UK, Syria and China
In the Iran there was because of the use of chemical weapons in a war…
CHEMICAL WEAPONS
Problems :
- Use of chemical weapons couses bacl injuries and using them is against very important human rights ever more against human rights than war.
CHEMICAL WEAPONS
Solution :
- A solution would be that you dispose of the chemical weapons and global set designs which prohibits the use of chemical weapons.
GENETIC ENGINEERING
manipulation of an organism's genome using biotechnology.
E.G. : cloning, gender selection…
GENETIC ENGINEERING
Problems :
- What if we begin to make other people by machines ?
- What if you can choose the Intelligence of baby´s ?
GENETIC ENGINEERING
Solutions :
- Good agreements with strict laws
- We must stop cloning of people
NUCLEAR ENERGY
Nuclear energy usually means the part of the energy of an atomic nucleus, which can be released by fusion or fission or radioactive decay
NUCLEAR ENERGY Problems :
- Danger of accidents
- Pollution because of the uranium
- No solution because of the disposal problems
- Danger of terrorism
- Limited availability of uranium
NUCLEAR ENERGY
Solution :
- Stop producing energy with nuclear power, use renewable energy
MODERN PROBLEMS
Overpopulation
Today population about 7 billion 2050 = 10 billion
Without importing recourses from other
countries Europa would have to less food
We need much more than we can grow
MODERN PROBLEMS
Another modern problem is the world poverty
Big problem unequal distribution of money
Rich countries ( Germany)
poor countries (Romania)
ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS
global warming
Earthquakes
meteor showers
GLOBAL WARMING: CAUSES Man-made causes (antropogenic causes) e.g. pollution, population, … Natural causes e.g. release of methane gas, climate changes, …
Consequences Health Weather Patterns Wildlife Glaciers and sea levels
SOLUTIONS
Efficient use of energy
Alternative energy resources
METEOR SHOWER
is a celstial event in which a number of meteors are abserved to radiate from one point in the night sky
the meteors are caused by streams of cosmic debris called meteorids entering earth‘s atmosphere at extremly high speeds on parallel trajectories
most are smaller than a grain of sand, so almost all of them desinegrate and never hit the earth‘s surface
