=Global Issue - Poverty=

1. Brief description of the issue. - Write THREE questions starting with "What if.....?" about "your global issue." - Brainstorm and explain why the world should care about this issue.


 * What if there was no such thing as Poverty?
 * What if the whole world lived in Poverty?
 * What if Poverty is the answer to stop the nuclear war?

- Its ruining lives of innocent children who are brought into this world. - People in mostly the third world countries are dying because of Poverty. - Human Rights are being broken because and taken away from those who are poor. For example child labour occurrs because children want money so that they can get food, education and a better life, and they do this even when the employer pays them less than average or required. - Kids start doing wrong things and breaking laws in order to get money.
 * The world should care about Poverty because...

2. Why do you consider this a global issue? //(Who does it affect? Where is it occurring? What proportion of the world is affected or will be affected in the future?)//


 * We consider Poverty to be a global issue because it affects people all around the world who are poor and it's not just in one continent.
 * Poverty makes people abuse Human Rights such as the freedom of speech and the right to get an education.
 * Poverty is also occurring in Asia. About 70% of it's population live in Poverty.
 * Nearly half the world's population live on less than $2 per day.
 * Nearly 1 billion children live in poverty and they are illiterate because they can't afford to get proper education.
 * Political instability in countries lead to poverty.

It is occurring in the whole world but mostly in continents like Africa and Asia. For example, most of the countries in Africa such as Ethiopia, Mali and Sahara in Africa and Countries such as Vietnam, Phillipines and Indonesia in Soutern Asia.

5. What are your individual opinions on the issue? //(each group memeber comments about this)//
 * Our individual opinions on the global issue of Poverty are...

~Bharti~ I think that Poverty it really sad because innocent people suffer because of it. it also deprives some of the children from gaining the Human Rights that they deserve. For example child labour is forced because kids want to have parents and because the parents can't work or afford money to look after their families, the children are forced to do things for little amount of money to do take care of their families. I also think that countries that are quite stable financially should lodge some sort of campaign or etc so that they can fundraise some money and send to the country or people in need of money, or even if the rich people of the world donate at least a couple of thousand dollars to these people. I'm quite sure that they won't be wasting it because if they can afford to buy an $80,000.00 car, they can donate atleast $40,000.00 or even less and the good thing is that they'd still be able to buy a car or whatever that they want to buy.

6. What are some of the solutions to solve this global issue? - Other countries fundraising money to support countries living in Poverty. - Rich People donating money or adopting children from and to those in need of it. For example Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and Madonna because they both adopted children from poor countries. - People sponsoring children through world vision and other sponsers that support these countries.
 * Some of the solutions to solve this global issue of Poverty are...

7. Who should carry out the solution(s)? - Government of that rich country which is closest to the country living in Poverty. - The rich or famous superstars and actors.
 * These solutions should be carried out by the...



8. Imagine your group is in charge of deciding what the world should do about the issue. Brainstorm the ways that you would solve your global issue. Justify your choice. //(You will need to work together on this)//

yun soo bin there is many people in the world and only 1% of them are rich. most of them are affected by money and fortune. also, annually, pool people like africans are died because, no food. many instrument want to help them, and rich people donate part of their wealth, but it is too small to rescue all earth-people. rich would be a rich with Big R, pool people would loss their life. It is serious problem to us. what can I do for them? can we solve the problem which couldn't be solved by genius in the long history? =References=
