These debates have divided the country into two (Carter, 2020), with those in support of gun laws and those who are not. In 2008, the US Supreme Court, under the landmark case of District of Columbia v.

During this stage, most teens are at crossroads regarding their lives because they have difficulties with their sexuality, friendships, gender and identity (Griffin, Adams, & Little, 2017, p. 192).

wealthier nations taking responsibility to help poor nations when natural disasters -Introduction Many of the fatalities witnessed in poorer nations as a result of disasters like volcano and earthquakes can only be curbed down if wealthy nations decide to take responsibility by helping them to control these disasters.  Many of the poor nations lack practical disaster management strategies, which can be used to detect, save, and evacuate people in the case such disasters strike them. Conversely, if wealthier nations came into an agreement of taking responsibility and helping poorer nations whenever disasters like volcanic and earthquakes strike them, intense property destruction and mass loss of lives witnessed in poorer nations will be significantly reduced. The act of wealthier nations taking responsibility to help poor nations when natural disasters strike them is the best way to curtail current cases and losses experienced as a result of these natural disasters. Reason being that many of the wealthier nations like Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and many more have reliable disaster management systems, and they rarely experience such disasters.
