Piracy

Piracy is the act of stealing other people's stuff. Piracy includes the reproduction and distribution of copies of copyright-protected material, or the communication to the public and making available of such material on on-line communication networks, without the authorisation of the right owner(s) where such authorisation is required by law. Piracy concerns different types of works, including music, literature, films, software, videogames, broadcasting programs and signals.

People who pirate are call pirates. Pirates in the past used to stealing on the sea

There also modern pirates that work in the sea

The causes of piracy are believed to stem from backgrounds that are created by society. Piracy is most often caused by a high demand for a particular item or product that is difficult or illegal to obtain. Piracy can also be caused by weak enforcement of intellectual rights, high income potential, lack of legal opportunities to gain wealth or income, and even by a low level of awareness of the issue by the public


Some solution for piracy is to lower the price of the of the products and release a demo for it so customers can check out the quality of the products

Income Inequality

There are a rule about the inequality in the world and that rule call the Pareto Principle. By the definition, for many phenomena, 20% of invested input is responsible for 80% of the results obtained. Put another way, 80% of consequences stem from 20% of the causes. This is because of the income inequality.

Income inequality is the unequal distribution of household or individual income across the various participants in an economy. The aspects of rising inequality that are usually discussed separately: changes in labor's share of income; inequality at the bottom of the income distribution, including labor mobility; skill-biased technical change; inequality among high income groups; consumption inequality; geographical inequality; and international differences in the income distribution, particularly at the top.

Some solution to this problem provided by the expert are:
- Straighten and strengthen the legal framework to prevent abuses.
- Market forces should be shaped, not left as “forces.” Other countries shaped their market forces in ways that have lowered inequality while creating more opportunity and growth.
- Take care of the young, as they are our most valuable resource. Countries far poorer than the U.S. have decided that all young people should have access to food, education and health care so they can fulfill their aspirations.
- Better taxation system.

World Organizations

The European Union 

What is the EU?

The EU is unlike anything else—it isn’t a government, an association of states, or an international organization. Rather, the 28 Member States have relinquished part of their sovereignty to EU institutions, with many decisions made at the European level. The European Union has delivered more than 60 years of peace, stability, and prosperity in Europe, helped raise our citizens’ living standards, launched a single European currency (the euro), and is progressively building a single Europe-wide free market for goods, services, people, and capital.

History of the EU

The precursor to the European Union was established after World War II in the late 1940s in an effort to unite the countries of Europe and end the period of wars between neighboring countries. .In 1950 the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community expanded the cooperation. The six nations involved in this initial treaty were Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands. Today these countries are referred to as the "founding members."

During the 1950s, the Cold War, protests, and divisions between Eastern and Western Europe showed the need for further European unification. In order to do this, the Treaty of Rome was signed on March 25, 1957, thus creating the European Economic Community and allowing people and products to move throughout Europe. In order to further unify Europe, the Single European Act was signed in 1987 with the aim of eventually creating a "single market" for trade. Europe was further unified in 1989 with the elimination of the boundary between Eastern and Western Europe - the Berlin Wall
