The Global Goals

            The Global Goals addresses 10 major goals of equal importance which society must accomplish in order to achieve an ideal, tolerant and safe environment. Personally, I believe that the goal that should be addressed first is number 10. The tenth goal calls to action the reduction of inequalities with specific targets, such as the:

• ·       By 2030, progressively achieve and sustain income growth of the bottom 40 per cent of the population at a rate higher than the national average
• ·       By 2030, empower and promote the social, economic and political inclusion of all, irrespective of age, sex, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion or economic or other status
• ·       Ensure equal opportunity and reduce inequalities of outcome, including by eliminating discriminatory laws, policies and practices and promoting appropriate legislation, policies and action in this regard
• ·       Adopt policies, especially fiscal, wage and social protection policies, and progressively achieve greater equality
• ·       Improve the regulation and monitoring of global financial markets and institutions and strengthen the implementation of such regulations
• ·       Ensure enhanced representation and voice for developing countries in decision-making in global international economic and financial institutions in order to deliver more effective, credible, accountable and legitimate institutions
• ·       Facilitate orderly, safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of people, including through the implementation of planned and well-managed migration policies
• ·       Implement the principle of special and differential treatment for developing countries, in particular least developed countries, in accordance with World Trade Organization agreements
• ·       Encourage official development assistance and financial flows, including foreign direct investment, to States where the need is greatest, in particular least developed countries, African countries, small island developing States and landlocked developing countries, in accordance with their national plans and programs
• ·       By 2030, reduce to less than 3 per cent the transaction costs of migrant remittances and eliminate remittance corridors with costs higher than 5 per cent.

            I believe that this is the most important problem to overcome because there is a big gap between the classes and unequal distribution of resources and rights between the masses. I believe that the most important part to consider is that equality is NOT the goal... People get carried away by the concept that everyone should receive the same thing, but that's incorrect. The goal is for everyone to have equal amounts of success.. not resources. This is only possible through EQUITY, not equality. Everyone is different, there for everyone should be treated correctly according to who they are and what the have to obtain the same results.
