        Solutions  for a global  aging  problem 

           Global aging refers to the fact that for every month the number  of persons ages 65 and older increases at a very fast rate,This is one of the main  problems of this century,.It affects or will affects both developed  and developing  countries. However there are some solutions for this global aging problem. Firstly,increased in fertility rate,that is the government  would encourage  the women to put to birthday many children,so that it would out way the elderly  population. In addition  could also provides  cash bonus to families who have 2,3,or 4 kids so that they can adopted young AIDS Orphans,hence increase and reduces the age dependency load.Secondly,the government  could make immigration  policy, because there  are so many men and women in the world  would are working ade group, but are unemployed, so he could employed them,hence making large tax base and more money to fund health  care , old age pension and boast the economy
          Lasly,the government  can also increased the retirement  age to provide the increase  number of workers,hence raising  the minimum  retirement  age for the ageing population.
                                How can I perceive  the elderly in our community, like my  country Cameroon,we treat them to be like a special being.For example my grandmother was 9 year old,but she love me in particular, even though  we are 4 in our family,I will make her breakfast, take her to bath,help her wear her dress,so when she died she will all her things to me.So we need them with care like a baby, communicate with them in a special  way,talking to them about their health and give them encouraging words.

                  Overpopulation 

  It is a condition in which the number the  of existing human population exceed  the carrying capacity of the earth.There are some number of solutions for this problem,.Firstly, making  awareness  to the population about family planning,eg the used of contraceptive  methods which are means to reduce high rate of pregnancy. Seconly,to encourage  better education, so that you will educated the population on what you know is best for them,educate them on certain issue and dialogue with the population on the importance of abortion and family planning .                                               To conclude, if I were in charge of a national task force,I will solve this problem  in a way that ,I  will encourage the younger generation  to plan  for their future by investing in private pensions and create many assisted-living ,nursing  homes and hospitals  that would cater for the elderly and for over population,I could  come out with a concession or tax benefits system, that is ,l could look for couples who have only single or two children and waive some certain parts of income tax or lower  their income rate.I will also try to moved in various  schools,colleges,and youth centers and give a talk on sex  and education  to young kids.

Michelle Obama Visits Liberia to push for children to stay in school

        Liberia is found in West Africa,it was a country were slaves went and settled.It was a free slave zone mostly for freed American slaves.This country has a close ties with the United State.According to history,between 1989 and 2003,Liberia had a civil war,which so many people were being killed.Just recently there was an out break of a disease call  Ebola  .This disease killed more than 4,800 people.             Michelle Obama went to Liberia with her daughters so as to encourage the teenages girls in Liberia to stay in school,that even thought the schools were closed for months due to the Ebola out break.She told them that education for the girls child is very important,that her priority is center about education for all.In other to inspired them more ,she took her daughter ,who just graduated from a high school,they sang  and share different ideas with the girls.In regard to this visit the USAid gave $27million as funding  to the girls.                                                                    This  fund raising was done by Michelle and her husband President Barack Obama in other to initial the young girls to go to  school,because education is very important for a girl child.In addition ,to this visit,the oldest vocational high school was named after one African American civil right activist who was called Brooker T Washington.This bought alot of joy and happiness to the Liberian population who then expresses their sincerely warm welcome to the America first lady Michelle Obama.Toward their acknowledgement to what the US has done to them,the principal of the school  call for all the girls to see this as a real inspiration for them to go to school and learn well in other for them to excel in higher heights                                    

To comment on this ariticle,for me as a girl,mother and a mother of only girls,am so  happy and pleased to see that all the girls go to school and become pilot,president  and do what so ever the men are doing in the society.So this will also teach some of our parent who send only the men to school                        To round all this,if we look round,we will realise that ,the girls are the sole head of most families,even if their are marry.
