ARE YOU AWARE OF WORLD'S POVERTY?

Nowadays, poverty is a real and troubling fact that involves all the population, nevertheless, it seems that, in developed countries, most of the people aren’t concerned about it. Of course, this is the true relevant worry, as if we don’t know a problem, we will never reach the solution.

One could be the influence of charities on society. Undoubtedly, they can tell the truth due to their contact with poor people, which provide them with actual information and personal livings that could be transmitted to the rest of the world, making a big impact on the people’s sensitivity. However, I think that some precautions must be taken, because there are associations which speak about their humanity aids, but, in reality, they only take advantage of the donated money.

Also, another way to inform people is education. We must think about children like the adults of the future, the ones who could solve the actual problems and make the significant changes that we are looking forward to. That is the reason for what young people must be aware of the scarce resources which are causing a big contrast between rich and poor people. They have to realize that they are lucky, but this doesn’t mean to do anything to solve the problems that surround them.

In summary, education in social situations is really important, but the work which could be developed by charities if we supported them would be much more effective and would have a fast impact than education, whose help would take a long time to come.
