  1. GLOBAL RISK SOCIETY Valeska, Franzi, Caro, Isabelle, Clara, Lennart, Thomas, Peter-Jan, Julius

  2. Technical problems

  3. Examples • Chemical weapons • Geneticengeneering • Nuclearenergy

  4. Chemical weapons • Chemical weaponsaremostly man-made toxins • Countries aresuspectedofchemicalweapons • Forexample Iran, Iraq, USA, UK, Syriaand China • In the Iran there was becauseoftheuseofchemicalweapons in a war…

  5. Chemical weapons Problems : - Useofchemicalweaponscousesbaclinjuriesandusingthemisagainstveryimportanthuman rightsevermoreagainst human rightsthan war.

  6. Chemical weapons • Solution : - A solutionwouldbethatyoudisposeofthechemicalweaponsand global setdesignswhichprohibitstheuseofchemicalweapons.

  7. Geneticengineering • manipulation of an organism's genome using biotechnology. • E.G. : cloning, gender selection…

  8. Geneticengineering • Problems : - Whatifwebegintomakeotherpeoplebymachines ? - Whatifyoucanchoosethe Intelligence of baby´s ?

  9. Geneticengineering • Solutions : - Good agreements with strict laws - We must stopcloningofpeople

  10. Nuclearenergy • Nuclear energy usually means the part of the energy of an atomic nucleus, which can be released by fusion or fission or radioactive decay

  11. Nuclearenergy • Problems : - Danger of accidents - Pollution because of the uranium - No solution because of the disposal problems - Danger of terrorism - Limited availability of uranium

  12. Nuclearenergy • Solution : - Stopproducingenergywithnuclearpower, userenewableenergy

  13. Modern problems • Overpopulation • Today population about 7 billion  2050 = 10 billion • Without importing recourses from other countries Europa would have to less food We need much more than we can grow

  14. Modern problems • Another modern problem is the world poverty • Big problem  unequal distribution of money • Rich countries ( Germany) poor countries (Romania)

  15. Environmental problems • global warming • Earthquakes • meteorshowers

  16. Global warming: Causes • Man-made causes (antropogeniccauses) e.g. pollution, population, … • Natural causes e.g. releaseofmethane gas, climatechanges, … Consequences • Health • Weather Patterns • Wildlife • Glaciersandsealevels

  17. Solutions • Efficientuseofenergy • Alternative energyresources
