Well from a narrow view of whats has gone on this year, we have had all the elements/natural disasters appear in the headlines. Heavy Snow - Northeastern USA, Drought - Eastern Africa, Earthquakes - New Zealand, Tsunami - Japan, Flooding - Australia to name a few. These have caused many people to loose their lives and cost more people to be homeless.
We have seen a number of conflicts arise during the Arab spring, ending the political reigns of several dictators most notable ending with the War in Lybia and the death of Gaddafi. Yet there is still unrest in Bahrain and Syria, with implications on many sides believing Syria to be the focus of another (possible) future NATO backed rebellion against its dictator.
Economically, the world is a dump. USA's credit rating downgraded, More EU countries facing bankruptcy, and more strike in many countries causing chaos, confusion and a lot of tension. Take the UK, we have any people complaining about pensions, i am not saying they shouldn't but they need to think of the country before themselves. If the country is doing well everyone is happy, if its not you have to make do with what you'll get and have to take some cuts for the wellbeing of the country.
Entertainment. Many new films and music tracks have been released. And this year has seen the passing of several famous names and faces. Marvel has crept further from the pages of comics into the mordern world of cinema and with it bringing more film for the next couple of years. The end to Harry Potter brought sadness to actors and fans a like.
As for the UK well we had a fun summer. The Royal Wedding creating a most appreciated day off for the country and giving us some practice in cheer for 2012.
2012 - is this the year the world ends??
Maybe. If it is can you say it isn't a year for the UK to bow out.
We have plenty of cause to celebrate in the UK before the supposed date in December 2012.
- Queens Diamond Jubilee
- London Olympics
This is the year of Games and celebration and if it does all goes out with a bang, we Brits will be fairly happy with the year we've had to go out on. Can many other countries say the same??
Economically, well lets wait and see but hope for the best however slow the growth may be.
Film - Many great titles burst onto cinema screens again this coming year.
- The latest addition to the Underworld series.
- A number of Girl Hero movies.
- and the most ancticipated in some circles - The Avengers.
And Happy belated New Year to you all.
