17. Discuss some issue of personal, local, national, or international concern and its importance to you.

An international issue that concerns me is war. I do not like war at all and some times I do not think it is necessary. I think war is a waste of time and money. Many times, innocent men, women, kids, and babies are murdered. I also believe many times war breaks out, we provoked it which is a big waste of time. All of the money put into war could be used for education and helping those in need. I believe that if the government put the same effort as they put in war into education, our nation would be thriving.
