Water

1. Who owns and regulates fresh water resources and who should?
The issue of water came up quite a few times in the past presentations. It is very important to think about who owns the water that is given to us and who should have the right to control and distribute it. In my opinion water the water of this world belongs to everyone. I do not think it is right that American companies (Coca Cola) exploit Indian water resources and that Nestles is draining Canadians of their water. I think every country should have control over their own water and the citizens should decide, by voting, for what purposes this water should be used. That way everyone has a say in what should happen to that water. I also do not think that countries should collectively decide on what happens to the water because, something that might be useful for one country might be a total disaster for anothe


2. What did you presentation do well? What will you improve next time?
Considering that I was very nervouse before my presentation I think I managed okay. I was informed about my topic and suprisingly my voice was not shaky or too fast. I think I could have worked a little harder on answering the actual question (how do they represent themselves) a bit better. For my next presentation I will try and go as one of the first people so that I can get it over with and do not have the anxiety of not having gone up yet. I will try be even more informed and I will try not to stress out as much.:D
