Canada recently joined Uruguay as the second nation in the world to make marijuana legal. What is your opinion on the regularization of marijuana?
I’m for it being used for medical use, but not so for recreational use. Because I think if people will argue then what about alcohol and cigarettes? Everything is good but in moderation.

What would you say to someone who believes that pageants are archaic and against the feminist movement?
Nowadays, we live in an era which we have advanced greatly. Beauty pageants are not just about beauty, they’re about sensitivity and having a heart. And in beauty pageants, we can show that women like me can achieve any dream that we may have in the world.

Do you think countries should limit the number of refugees allowed across their borders?
: I think that every country should have their own rules and regulations but for a thriving society and for all of us to stand together, we have to understand that we are all human. We should be open to loving, accepting each other.
South Africa / Tamaryn Green
Why is freedom of the press important?
The press is there to inform us, their job is to give us news of what’s happening in the world right now. They should have a total freedom to be able to report exactly what’s happening. Without forgetting that they have to sympathy because there are a lot of people suffering in the world.
