The eight millenium development goals (MDGs) that UN set up mentioned in the other articles I've wrote about totally reminded me of this current article I am reading now. I did not think it was feasible for an undeveloped country like Bangladesh to become fully developed or achieving all these eight goals by the deadline of 2015 because it appears that it would take lots of time to make that happen, and possibly a lot of support from developed countries. I think it's too fast to start changing everything that was held traditional in that country and the goals that UN has set the date of 2015 is completely illusional to me. It's important to take the process slowly that way, we can repair the unforseen mistakes at a time regardless of the deadline.
In this article, the British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown made an immediate move known as a "moral crusade" by contacting all the international world leaders to take "emergency action" to ensure that the undeveloped countries will meet the MDGs by 2015. This agreement was made in 2000, which occured seven years ago. Brown said it is an emergency and it is urgent to meet those goals, and I feel that the way he described how urgent and important to make this happen, is making everyone else across the globe nervous and anxious or even worried! I strongly believe it is too quick to start changing and improving the country within eight more years. Brown mentioned that the goal of halving infant mortality wouldn't be met until 2050 unless "urgent action" was taken. So now he wanted everyone such as governments, businesspeople, religious groups and even regular ordinary people to get involved in this ranging alliance to help make this happen, to ensure the world will meet its goals by that deadline. It sounds like he is very impatient since there are slow or no progress or whatsoever in some of the undeveloped countries like Bangladesh. Why should we be rushed to do so?
