1, Are these questions suitable for my research?
What are the reasons for the
armed terrorists of Sipah-e-Sahaba killing and causing such conflict?
Have we as the shia muslims done something wrong and because
of that we are regretting it?
Is there something that shia muslims have done which makes them
the target of the terrorist?

Causes of Poverty
Here are some causes of poverty, I found these on http://www.globalissues.org/issue/2/causes-of-poverty
-Almost half the world live on $2.50 a day
-Nearly a billion people in the 21st century are illeterate
-The GDP of 41 undeveloped countries is less than the 7 richest people on earth
- less than one percent that the world used on weaponry was needed to put every child in school by the year 2000, although that still didnt happen.
(What is GDP : The price of all the goods and services a country produces within one year)

Poverty,inequality and education
Poverty and Inequality
There are a lot of families in countries that are in squalor for example Ghana, Nigeria e.t.c that cannot afford education. These families have to walk 2-3 miles everyday just to get water, dirty water.
Education:
Education is a very big aspect of life because you need education to get a good job, if you don't have a job you will be in a squalor. this means you are not able to pay the tax for the country you live in. This will affect the economy because they will be getting less "profit" (the government doesnt work for profit but thats the only word i can use) to help the country.
Its like a big cycle
No money - no education - no job - no tax - bad economy - poor country - no money

Whose responsibility is it to hand out unemployment benefits?
There are many kinds of groups and banks that do have the authority to handle unemployment benefits and hand them out. Central banks and the government may be an example who should handle these insurances. Central banks have the right to produce more money and control interest rates in banks. In addition, it holds the country's precious money. However the government may also have the right to distribute them because they are the ones who make the laws, control taxes. Since the government are the ones who control the taxes, and that the unemployment benefits come from those taxes, it is also possible for the government to handle it.

Sports And Recreation.
The Winter Olympic Games are being held in Sochi, Russi this year.
The opening ceremony took place on friday the seventh of February.
One of the rings failed to open and it instantly made headlines....
The olympics should normally be a peaceful even but there is always something negative that will occur. Maybe the purpose of the Olympics is really to give other countries the chance to focus on social justice issues.

Some facts and how greenpeace tries to help reduce global warming?
Global Warming did not happen on its own. We, humans, are the main cause of global warming. Our usage of fossils fuel, transport and extracting resources from the Earth causes global warming which leads to poisoning our air and water. Science has told us that Global Warming is reality and that our World is hotter than it was once two thousand years ago. However, if our consumptions of fossils fuels grow then it is likely that by the end of the century, the temperature will be higher at any time in the past two million years. Organisations like Greenpeace think that they can reduce global warming by settings few aim for the future. Their aims for the next three years are:
1. Join local communities to shut down dangerous, dirty coal plants all across the World, and support them in a transition to a renewable future.
2. Advocate for strong laws to curb global warming and put the world on a path to clean energy.
3. Expose climate deniers, like the Koch Brothers, and hold them publicly accountable for providing millions of dollars to lobby against climate and clean energy policies.
4. Kick-start an Energy Revolution by advocating for clean-energy solutions like solar and wind power.
What other suggestions do you have that could reduce global warming?
