The article “Educating Girls and Empowering” (World Changing p. 316) discusses the major benefits of educating women. The benefits include but are not limited to increased awareness of contraception, civil rights, and economic earning potential (p. 316). I’ve done a research paper on the same topic and this article would have been a decent resource to cite. When thinking back on the research paper and while reading this article I am reminded of how privileged I am as a female college student. Sometimes, regretfully, it is easy to forget that somethings one takes for granted are unattainable to millions of others elsewhere in the world.
I just read the article called "Biodiversity: How much nature is enough?" ANd basically it talks about how we are losing as many species to extinction as the earth did when the meteor hit and killed the dinosaurs . . . they say if we continue with the way things are for much longer we'll have lost half of the earths species within the centuryyyyyy! ideas for saving species is freezing their DNA so that we may clone them at a time when we have better cloning technology OR saving certain areas of the wild that carry the largest variety of species. But even in these cases it's hard to maintain or to recreate the balance of interactions between the animals that keeps them alive. Kind of depressing.
