First of all, wishing you a very happy New Year and hope to have a full of happiness 2015 year ahead. For having a good plan and having a very good 2015 year, we have to review our last year (2014) and replicate the positive points while critically revise any negative points this year.
The year 2014 was not a disastrous year economically, but had some problems in the financial sphere.
Contrary to expect, despite the emergence of a global economic crisis, some countries had economy growth.
USA: The United States of America economy grew at it is fastest pace in 11 year in the 3rd and 4th quarter of this year. The US Commerce Department announced its estimate of gross Domestic Product Growth to a 5.0% for the 2014.
UK: United Kingdom shows the quickest growing major in European economy in 2014. It is GDP growth for the first time shows a growth range of 2-3% in 4th quarter of 2014.
China: The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in China expanded to 7.30 percent in the third quarter of 2014 over the same quarter of the previous year. GDP Annual Growth Rate in China averaged 9.10 Percent from 1989 until 2014, reaching an all time high of 14.20 Percent in the fourth quarter of 1992 and a record low of 3.80 Percent in the fourth quarter of 1990. GDP Annual Growth Rate in China is reported by the National Bureau of Statistics of China.
France, Germany and some other countries are showing economy growth in 2014.
Growth in business investment, spending on residential construction,increasing global demand, total quality, global revised on export and import system and many more are believed to be the core major of world economic growth for the 2014.
(Global Economy Watch)
While there were some economic growth in the world, the international social security and social live is considered ineffective in 2014. The heart-breaking aircraft crushes, war, hostilities, massacres in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Ukraine and some other countries make us to rethink about issues and new strategies are required to respond for welfare of the global citizens.
In addition to the given incidents, there are still some very significant components such as social, political, economic and environmental issues that can affect 2014 as the global stability.
Still half of the world population, over 3 billion people lives with an income of less than two US Dollars a day. The GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the 41 heavily indebted poor countries (millions people) is less than the wealth of the world’s 7 richest people combined.
Nearly a billion people in this 21 century are unable to read and write even their name.
Less than one percent of what the world spent every year on weapons was needed to put every child into school.
More than 1 billion children live in poverty (1 in 2 children in the world), millions live without adequate shelter and millions have no access to safe water.
Millions have no access to health service and several human beings are daily dying before they reach the age of 5 years old.
It is for us to think deeply in these concerns and find the remedy for all these issues. Thus we are human beings and…
“Human beings are members of a whole, in creation of one essence and soul. If one member is afflicted with pain, other members uneasy will remain. If you have no empathy for human pain, the name of human you cannot retain” – Saadi Shirazi
