Poverty

Issue: Globally millions of people suffer through poverty and this means lacking money. Their daily lives are in danger; they fight for whatever they can in order to get a little bit of food or money to survive. One of these countries is India.

Significances:

A huge sector of the world suffers through poverty. In almost every country we see people begging for money to eat and raise their children. Unemployment in many countries can lead to this and possibly into a break of the economy. It plays a huge role globally because many people suffer. Many events, and ‘fun’-raisers are done to help these people, there are organization which gather up clothes, money and food to keep these people alive.

Analysis:
This video clip is quite useful. It is a little biased as it doesn’t show the positive side of India. But all around people face poverty and these images show what some of these people go through and it is a bad feeling to see such things and struggles. We can discuss poverty and how it can be fought or helped, and in what ways.
