This presentation looked in depth at the UN’s first millennium goal, which was to eradicate extreme hunger and poverty by 2015. The presentation not only explained details of the goal, but why the goal was important. My group then applied this goal to the regions of Latin American and the Caribbean. We explored the causes of extreme hunger and poverty in these regions and causes around the world and how the UN planned to combat these causes. Finally, we looked at the progress that has been made towards eradicating extreme hunger and poverty. Researching and presenting our findings to the class was necessary so the class could understand and learn more about the millennium goals as a whole. Understanding the goals is important because the new UN goals are currently being set, and it is important to understand and be aware of what is going on in the world.
