Title - area of interest: Global warming in the world

Main objective - questions: 

Why there is global warming in the world?

Nowadays, the world is developed very fast because of economic growth and the development of technology around the world, also there are many factories to make product in order to make profit, but those factories will emission a lot of harmful gas to make air pollution, also have water pollution and light pollution, etc… those factories will emission a lot of carbon dioxide, it will accumulated inside the earth, after a long time, those carbon dioxide cannot emission to outside of the earth, thus make higher temperature around the world.

what are the causes of global warming: 

As I mentioned before there are many factories in the world to produce product in order to make profit, but those factories will emission a lot of carbon dioxide to the earth, on the other hand, the development of the world is very fast thus makes a lot of people buying car, especially in Macau and Hong Kong, many people buy car in Macau, cars also will emission a lot of carbon dioxide, this two elements will cause global warming in the world.

how can global warming be managed?

First, from individual side, people should use more transportation instead of using car, we can also use less electric equipment in order to save resource and it can reduce emission of carbon dioxide, on the other side, nowadays, many leaders of states know that global warming has becoming more serious, so there are some meeting will holed every year, for example, global conference on global warming and United Nations Climate Change Conference, etc….leaders will sign some contract during the conference in order to reduce emission of carbon dioxide and improve those problem of global warming.

I have 43 grades on leadership motivation test, This implies some uncertainty over your motivation to lead. 

I agree with that because usually I am not a leader of a group, sometimes I think lead group member to work is a difficult thing to me, also I won't provide ideas unless they ask me.

The result didn't surprise me and they are what I expected because I know I am that kind of person in a group.

This questionnaire helps me know what kind of action I need to improve when in a group activities, also let me know I have not much motivative of be a leader.

I have 45 grades on Burnout Self-Test, the result is saying that, Be careful – you may be at risk of burnout, particularly if several scores are high.

I agree with this result because sometimes I will feel burnout when we are doing some project as a group.

This result is what I expected because I choose the middle of 5 choices, so I thought the result also should be which in the middle.

This questionnaire helps me know I should improve my confident because I feel that I do not have time to do many of the things that are important to doing a good quality job, so I may need more confident to do it.

I agree with the result of questionnaire because it tells something that I really did, for example, reflective learners will simply read the material, also says reflective learners need to write more short summaries of readings to improve their skills, I am also a visual learners, it means we learn things through our eyes, I am one of those guy.

The result has a little surprise because those answers quite accurate, they are what I expected except some point, for example, global learners should Try to relate the subject to things you already know, I do this always so this is not what I expected.

This questionnaire provide some solution of each kind of person, also let me know how can I improve my skill and what points I need to focus on.

This video talk about how people feel their job, most of people think their job it's just a job, people just do enough to keep their job, but a good leader need to give more interested, more engaged and more motivated in order to let those employees to the optimal zone, however, if you give a little pressure, people will stay at the lower state, so the art of leader is to keep people in the optimal zone. 

This situation quite similar in Macau because many people work and they think work enough to keep their job, this situation would effect the performance of the company, as we known there are many companies in Macau, so leaders need to keep their employees at a optimal zone to work for the company in order to help their company, also leader can effect company to worse or better, so it is important for leader the watch.
