Worldly issues =)

I decided to change my blog from.. myself... to my opinions on the world! haha. it just popped in my mind. i know it's sooo extremely random. not to mention awkward. this benefits both you and me. I can improve in my writing.. and you can improve in your general knowledge. it's a win-win situation. and these are MY opinions, and no one else's, unless i credit them.

let's start with... POVERTY. yes, poverty.

Definition - Condition of having little money, and very few material possessions. *credits to wikipedia*

So many people in the world are living in poverty. From economical aspects, families are in need of food, clothes, shelter and other necessities. You can see people beg for food/money in the streets.. but what are we doing? Nothing but wasting what they need.

what causes poverty?

- weather (if it snows all the time at your place, how are you gonna look for food?)

- not enough jobs (for those without a studying degree/experience, no one would want to employ them)

- government problems (if the country is lacking of democracy, poverty is most likely to happen)

- war (this one doesn't need much explaining to do)

yeah, this are all i can think of.

the effects of poverty

- hunger/starvation and thus death

- social isoliation/suicide

- diseases

Very brief explanation of poverty. now, what can we do in order to fight against poverty?

- we can volunteer to help in campaigns

- donate things (clothes, money etc)

and many others that i can't think of.
