Questions: 1. How is the child mortality rate in your countries?

Looking forward to hearing from all of you.

mdg9, National College of Computer Sciences “Grigore Moisil”, Romania, Question:

One of the most popular topics nowadays is “how to make the world a better place”. But to do this we need to start with our own countries.

In our country, politicians came up with different ideas on how to do that, but they haven’t settled anything yet. But now that we are close to becoming adult, we started brainstorming on this matter. In the same theme with this year’s topic of GTP we need to check our goals to evolve as human beings. These goals should be improving the technology, the economy and provide better help for people in need.

a) How would you improve the technology in your country?

b) How would you improve the economy in your country?

c) How would you provide better help for the people in need?
