Document Summary
Decline of ebola, guinea worm, polio, malaria, cancer, war deaths, poverty. Continuing challenges: climate change, global poverty, war, refugees. Someone who is facing violence or persecution usually on the basis of things that threaten their lives. Death of allan kurdi (3 year old syrian boy refugee who was involved in a fatal boating accident) Denmark: well-governed, peaceful, happy, excellent health and education. It is not intelligence, propensity to violence, or even geography that explains the differences between denmark and syria. It is the state, the rule of law, and accountable government. Politics is about collective choices we make to reduce conflict and promote cooperation.
