Goal: Brief summary of the history of the social issue (based on MDG selected) in your country:
(causes of the social issue in your country)
Summary: Due to Iran-Iraq war, it leads to the numerous emergences of social issues. The country
has a big jump in population after the war where the government placed in the control to sustain
the population with free contraceptives on many clinics. However, as the time passes, the
population tended to decline; therefore, government has to motivate for the increasing of birthrates
by providing more money and assistances. As more women are educated, they decide not to have
more babies for them to be born in a society with hyper inflation. Next, the country was estimated
to have about 1.2 million drug users and Iran is now reportedly approaching 3 millions. Opium has
now becomes one of the most popular narcotic in Iran being used up to 67 percent of consumption.
Additionally, from Irans neighbour country, Afghanistan has many gigantic plantations of opium
poppy, exporting many tons a year.

Goal: Specific solutions and suggestions for Sistan and Baluchestan.

Summary: As Sistan and Baluchestan is the one of the main trouble city in Iran, despite help from
UN, the problems are still unsolved where other cities obstacles have been diminished 60 percent.
Therefore, there are several suggestions from u s for the development and improvement of this
horrific city. According to the its background, due to lack of prosperity and attention from
government, this strongly leads to more child mortality. For the first solution, government should
pay more attention by investing more money into the system for the recovery of present situation.
For the secondary problem, Sistan and Baluchestan has difficulty in transportation injuries among
children and adolescents. Traffic light and more restriction of driven license could be great options
to solve. This idea will help people to interpret more in the system of road where injuries among
children could tremendously decrease. On the other hand, Sistan and Baluchistan has been
dealing with outlaw people, so for this solution the government should be more limitation in laws
and harsh punishment. Citizens should be developing general knowledge, so they would be afraid
of doing things unmoral. This suggestion reduces not only child mortality but also people who
participate in drug use.

Goal: Solution for nation

Till present Iran is considered as number one drug addiction country which has Afghanistan, the
main plantation of opium, as the one of the closet border countries. Yearly Afghanistan exports tons
of opiums to Iran which continue to change into morphine then extracted into heroin. Many people
in country have raced perishing from overdose usage leading to the emergence of higher children
mortality. To untangle, according to restriction of the law, government should be paying special
attention by placing in more harsh punishment so addicted people would no longer encourage in
drug use. Additionally, people in Iran reach fatality due to cardiovascular disease being the
common cause of death. Smoking, hypertension, alcohol consumption, weight gain, high blood
cholesterol, lower consumption of fruits, and sodium rich foods are the most important risk factors.
From our suggestion, government gives more attention to public to educate those people. Being
educated, people would enable to learn more about health which results tremendously improving
their health conditions.

Goal: History about Iran

Iran is known as Persia Empire, one of the greatest and longest empire in history records with the
series of imperial dynasties. The modernisation of this country began in 1921 where the revolution
emerged against the old dynasty. Reza Khan ultimately introduced many social, political, reforms
during his reign as the foundation of modern Iran who turned Persia into Iran till present day.
During and after WWII, British and America began to involve in political, religious, and trading of
Iran. For example, After WWII, British wanted to take control of oil industry in Iran but the Shah,
Reza Khan, refused who was later abdicated and replaced by his own son, Muhammad Reza, by
British and Soviet. Then, The Shah began the White Revolution to westernize Iran with the support
of United States which makes many Iranians unsatisfied and began to revolt. This revolution ended
with the death of Shah in Egypt. Then, Iraq begins the war with Iran because of the disagreement
between the territory. In 1995, United States places oil and trade sanctions on Iran because they
think that Iran supports terrorism. Plus, President George W.Bush referred Iran as a part of an
axis of evil. These things met with anger in Iran which caused the conflict between United States
and Iran until now.
