4.Why are key countries (e.g the United States) unwilling and/ or unable to play a part in easing globalization’s effects?
Ans: The root cause is the unwillingness or inability of key actors on the global scene and their constituencies to empower the UN to a level that corresponds with tomorrow's global realities and possibilities.

5.How can media help to stop globalization?

Ans: "The instantaneous transmission of news and images has turned the thoroughly connected and even marginally connected citizens of the world into spectators and consumers of ideas and information."There are even signs that as a result of economic growth, urbanization and enlightened public policies born of global awareness, more nations are reversing the longstanding trend toward destruction of their forests."

2nd draft

Personally, I think writing is the primary basis upon which your work, your learning, and your intellect will be judged. Quality of writing affects how your knowledge is conveyed to others and from that others will judge you and your works. In my field of study of real estate, there are a lot of group project reports and most of my examinations are actually based on writing essays. Even if I have studied sufficiently for the examinations, my lack of good writing skills put me at a disadvantage as it may adversely affect how my essays or reports are graded by the lecturers.

    

 After I had noticed my problem, I started to look for tips from the internet on how to improve my writing skills. I started writing every day on the first few days before examinations by doing past year examinations questions or tutorials. I also tried to read extensively on news relating to real estate or any major news when I had the time to do so. However, my writing did not seem to improve by much. Furthermore, I still got mental blocks while writing.    

 I think one of the few things that I never take note of during my writing practice is the time I used to write an essays or answer a question. Hence, I tend to panic and have a slight mental block when my time was running short. However, my practice would have benefited me if the questions in the examinations were similar to those I practised. 

 One of the ways that I could clear my mind block is to empty my mind of all the distractions like the time on the clock or the furious writing of others in the examination hall. When I cannot think of any new ideas, I could have just continued to write instead of stopping on one question or one topic or worrying what to write.
