I was thinking of all the posts that I’ve posted on this blog so far and I got to realize something
Our world is full of misery, political or armed conflict, poverty and corruption is an everyday experience for some people.
I know it’s nothing new because we constantly hear about this on the news. If it’s not poverty, it’s conflict and if it’s not that there’s always something else that’s negative. If you take your time and think of everything it really is sad.
The population of our earth is not living by the same life standards. If we all would have to live by the same equal standards that would mean that a great amount of the population would have to lower their high life standards. Are people ready to do that? Are people ready to give up their fancy lifestyle in order to give other people on earth a chance for a better life?
That is what is required in order to give other people a chance. I think that will be a very difficult project, to pursue millions of people to lower their standards, especially because they’re so used to that type of life.
It’s difficult to make such a drastic change in your lifestyle but I believe it’s worth it. I mean, think about it. A person in a poor country may not live on more than a dollar a day, while people in rich countries use a dollar for chewing gum or sweets. Can you imagine? One dollar is used to support an entire family.
A dollar has such different meaning in different parts of the world.
That’s unfair.
It's true, if people in Western societies just would have understood how there daily living affect other people around the world. But the problem is our dear leaders around the world who have too much business and profiteering in all what they do, even the leaders of NGO like the UN have too much business and chances of profiteering in all their work, which they can't/want stop with. Unfortunately!! :S
SvaraRaderayes, that is true. Thank's for your comment :)
SvaraRaderaThe easy ways of making profit from some countries is a huge challenge. This would also mean that democracy in poorer counrtries might be for the worse for some organizations who make profit on them. Because the weak structure and democracy in some countries is one of the main factors and reasons to why these countries are so easy to be made profit from.
Why it's a challenge is this: As an example, if a man/woman owns a business where he/she produces furniture for 10 dollars in one country, and in a other country they can produce the same furniture for 5 dollar. They would of course choose to produce the furnitures where it costs 5 dollar. And because they can make profit from that, they wouldn't want to stop producing it there even if it means that workers at that place work under horrible conditions, because it doesn't really affect the boss who owns the factory.
That is also one of the many problems.
