Child Mortality-open link
Through this UN Millennium Goal Project, I definitely have learned a lot about the major progress UN and the world have done to improve living conditions across the globe. Honestly, before this project, I had no idea that the 8 millennium goals existed. Obviously, I knew many people in the world live in really poor conditions and we, Americans, are the lucky ones who use up so much resources while we only constitute a small part of the world population. To put it in such perspective, I am really glad that the international community is doing something to help combat child mortality and diseases, to spread education, and etc.
My UN Millennium Goal was child mortality. As the above presentation shows, child mortality has significantly decreased over the years through initiatives implemented by the UN and other organizations across the world. Preventive measures include mosquito nets, vaccines, child care education and etc. Overall, cooperation among health care manufactures, providers, and governments has dramatically provided low cost and wide-spread health service to many people. So, it is possible to better human conditions through diplomacy and negotiations.
