If you were to implement a law/ordinance/method/idealism to be followed in the whole world ( or, at least, almost the entire world) , what would it be and in what MDGs (this program's or your own) would it be of great use?

People around the world have different problems, and each have different solutions too. Given the chance and ability to suggest a solution to be followed, what would it be?
To start, I would like to fully eradicate the production and usage of plastic bags. In countries such as USA and Canada, this is implemented (though I'm not rather sure with the production...but at least they use paper bags!). In the Philippines, the accumulation of plastic bags makes up a major part of our trash. To lessen garbage, I believe we should use biodegradable things like paperbags for carrying our stuff.

Again, I must go for education. If I were to make a law, it would be about improving the quality of education and making it available to every global citizen. Like what I've said in many other posts, we could tackle the other problems through education. Even the waste segregation problem could be solved by educating people on the benefits of waste management.

I would like to implement a law for education at primary level to be free of cost and hence, all children must receive at least primary education. This may be so already in many countries but not where I come from. Hence if a child was not sent to school, it would hardly be due to the parents not being able to afford schooling. In my country, poor parents do not send children to school and instead utilize them as means of income. Child labour is both cruel and dangerous (though somewhat unaccounted for, children do die at work places,e.g, children who work at steel factories die from poisoning,etc.). And I think if a law was made for all children to attend primary school, many problems like child labour and illiteracy could be solved

I would go for health. A society would not function well if the people that is within it is experiencing problems with their physiological and psychological well-being.
When the people's well-being is taken care of, there would be more productive citizens that can contribute to the rapid development of the society.

Appositive. However, merely teaching people about the benefits of waste management does not entirely solve the problem. There should be laws or methods or whatever that should enforce this idealism. But yes, education must be available to everyone in the planet.

Count me in! Universal primary education can be the face to disintegrate child labour and illiteracy amongst children.
But this is definitely easier said than done. Incentives that governments could carry out such as subsidies on book and exam fees can help to coax people from poorer backgrounds to send their children to school.
Frankly though, if nations are left to do so at their on voluntary will, chances are this Millennium Development Goal might not be achieved by 2020. Thus, something legally-binding needs to be done here.
A collective effort amongst a union of countries like the ASEAN could be the answer. A legal obligation could be discussed and ratified. More developed nations can play the role as donors ti provide financial aid, but the main thing here is that countries can adopt common laws so that they can approach common goals and ultimately achieve universal primary education successfully.

I also agree that Education is extremely important, though many of the problems link.
If a good education system and syllabus is in place and adequate resources are provided, many issues will be solved. If children are taught about health at school, they may grow up to be doctors for their people, we may see an increase in health as people become more informed and careful about issues such as HIV aids, malaria etc. If children are taught about economics, politics and government, they can understand and help their countries economy grow. Further, issues such as equal rights, racism and gender equality can be better understood. Being educated about history, cultures, geography, will help them see how wars happened in the past and stop it from happening again.
The more quality knowledge children accumulate, the better the future generation of adults will be.

Basic world education curriculum, because this could help all the youths of the world to have the same level of learning which is high quality and first class. That could also help other students to learn all and learn from the best and it could help other students who are given less privilage and less oppurtunity to learn. This program could be related to the millenium developement goal concerning global education. By this all students will be given all lessons to be learned and all students of the same level learning the same level of learning..

Oh thats a nice idea!
It would truly bind the people of this world a lot closer if everyone was educated with identical sylabbi, in their mother tongue languages. The intention of the creation of the International Baccalaureate program is probably the same.
The main issues would be the availability of sufficient and standardised infrastructure to teach (like science labs) and the number of teacher who are capable of teaching the new syllabus. Imagine if we could overcome those and come up with something great like that...

Haha this one is easy, And would acheive one MDG and help the others progresss immensly.
I would make everybody share and fully allow access to anybodys knowledge. Open development. No secret research for a particular government to gain an advantage, Shared progressive development and knowledge

According to National Economy-Social survey, The rate of poverty is 33,714 million among 273 million people.
This situation has affected many aspect of life, unemployments, hunger, unaccesible education, and even lead to Crime.
All caused by poverty.
But somehow, Recalling that poverty could not always be eradicated by only giving subsidy and donation to people (where its not sustainable), i do BELIEVE that Indonesia need more qualified accesible education to all citizens universally.
We need intellectual and educated people to resolve the problem and run the country.

In extention to this, i think that what if we considered a chain effect the reduce poverty. Something that one man in poverty can learn, and teach to three men, and those 3 men can teach 3 men each. A butterfly effect. Could that be the answer?

I agree. This goes with goal 8 (develop a global partnership for development). If every nation will get to share what they have, development would be faster. Fully-developed countries should help in addressing the needs of the less developed nations. In short, we must all cooperate in the development of our global community.

I agree that a uniform system of education should be established. But, for example, the educational policy in my country says there will be a single system of education and obviously it isn't so. There are different bodies - national ones and international ones. So not everyone is getting the same education. If they did, social disparities could also be abolished. However what I am trying to say is simply making a international policy that says all member countries will have same educational system won't do. When a national policy isn't even abode, I don't expect an international policy to be... but it work if the policy includes agreement of facing the law if a member country failed to comply. Does that sound a bit harsh?

I doubt the effectiveness of what you've suggested. Not necessarily will a man with knowledge teach another person and so on - as a chain reaction. It's more complicated than that because you'll have to think about the educated man's mentality - he simply might not want to. Hence campaigns are more useful because everyone can be affected.
