TOXICITY SPREADING ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Image
         Toxicity on social media   SOCIAL media has created goblins and monsters in all of us. There are cretins that do disinformation in the form of satire with kids speaking big, walking with a big stick, pretending they know things well, and there are individuals unable to tell the difference between facts and misinformation or disinformation. There are people who operate a social media platform with a license to kill, spewing heat waves that are totally odious and foul, and yet it’s like staking one’s claim over a piece of meat that is bartered or paid as a business proposition of hitting people, creating a mess and hiding when confronted with facts. There are instances of identity theft and burner accounts for a fee. A nd there are those in social media who would like up a storm just because they have a different narrative not shared by the proletariat, forgetting the fact that the reason they lost in 2016 and 2019 was because of their high-on-a-pede...

          REFUGEE CRISIS               Refugee crisis can refer to difficulties and dangerous situations in the reception of large groups of forcibly displaced persons. These could be either internally displaced, refugees, asylum seekers or any other huge  groups of migrants. A crisis could occur within the country, while attempting to leave, or while on the move to a safe country, or even after arrival in a country of asylum.

According to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, as of January 2019, 70.8 million (41.3 million internally, 25.9 million registered (20.4 million under UNHCR, 5.5 million under UNRWA), 3.5 million asylum seekers) had been displaced world wide . In 2016 an estimated 362,000 refugees crossed the Mediterranean Sea in attempts to reach Europe due ...

LOSS OF TROPICAL RAINFORESTS

                Tropical forest Tropical forests have the largest living biomass and boast some of the highest rates of terrestrial biodiversity. But rainforests are perhaps the most endangered habitat on earth and most vulnerable to deforestation. Each year, some 140,000 sq km of rainforests are destroying. Loss of tropical forests makes climate change worse Trees naturally suck carbon dioxide out of the air, a function that helps counteract human emissions into it each year. In fact, by some estimates, the world’s forests absorb around one-third of human-caused CO2 emissions. An tropical trees tend to be even thirstier for CO2 than their counterparts in temperate regions, thanks at least in part to longer growing seasons. Human activity, however, is undercutting that natural potentia l. Forest loss is not exactly a new problem – more than half of the world’s tropical forests have been destroyed since the 1960s. But new information is piling-up o...
