I think goal 1, 2, 4 and 8 have done a lot of work and have come a long way. I believe goal 1 has done a lot of work because poverty has significantly declined by more than half, in 1990 it was 1.9 billion and in 2015 it decreased to 836 million. Goal 2 has come a long way in improving education. In 2000 there were 100 million out of school children, and in 2015 there were 57 million. In Sub-Saharan Africa primary school net enrolment has increased up to 80% which is higher than what it was in 1990. Goal 3 shares a fact that also connects to goal 2, in goal 3 it states that in Asia primary school enrolment for girls increased from 74 to 103 and what was interesting was that the boys stayed the same and ended up having more girls for enrolment.

The measle vaccination helped prevent nearly 15.6 million deaths and 84% children worldwide received at least one dose of measles vaccine. Goal 8 has come a long way, the technique of global partnership and trading is very effective. Official development assistance was $81 billion in 2000 and in 2014 it reached up to $135.2 billion. Trading has been around for many years and it keeps growing for example Canada and the US are always trading resources helping one another. Challenges that goal 1 could have had is being extremely poor and not enough resources such as clean water, food, clothing, and shelter. Technology may not be developed in some countries which is a disadvantage because technology can be used for many things such as health care. Challenges for goal 2 may include lack of education and jobs, also lack of gender equality due to beliefs such as girls not being allowed to be taught by male teacher or learn with them. Challenges for goal 4 can include shortage of medicine, for example in goal 4 it states that children could only receive at least one dose of vaccines. Technology can also be another challenge, if countries do not have the right technology how can they cure children who have diseases. For goal 8 challenges can be feuds between countries that will prevent them from partnering and sharing resources. The cartoonist’s opinion about the MDGs is that the UN is willing to do anything in order to try to achieve their 8 goals. The man with the shirt that says UN is pointing towards the soccer net on top of the planet that says the Millennium Development Goals. The cartoonist is saying even though the goals may be hard to achieve, hence the distance of the net and African player trying to score, they are willing to try which the number of soccer balls represent. In other words the UN wants Africa to score into the net so they can achieve the MDGs. The
