Causes of poverty in Africa by evelyne


Even though owning all the natural wealth resources, Africa is the most poorest continent across world.
Despite charitable aid such as food, clothes, medications, all kind of survival supplies are contributed continuously, African never escape from hunger and poverty.
Although there are thousands of Africa died every day, populations in Africa never have been decreased.
The leading cause of poverty is poor governance, however, no educations, no knowledge, both are leading causes as well.
So, providing educational opportunities to African, let them having ability to reform their government's policies, get knowledge to create bread and butter by utilizing the natural resources in their own possessions, let them realizing that poverty would have not gone if they had relied on people's help at all. For women, educate them birth controlled plans is partly important to wipe out poverty. Only build a progress society, poverty can end to the cord.

I think the world will be much more better without wars .
Everyday wars are happening ,and everyday ,there are people dead from wars ,a lot of children lose their parents and many parents lose their children .what a sad thing.
Some people say wars are necessary because wars can release people from bad condition,that may be true .But in fact ,wars are bigger disaster for them poor people .wars kill a lot of people ,but nothing is more important than lives !
I think ,all problem can be solved in a peace condition ,you can't kill people for any reason .So stop wars ,give the world peace ,and don't broke families again.

Prohibiting Smoking Indoors



Prohibiting smoking indoors is one of the most endless controversial issues around the world.
In my opinion, I strongly support prohibiting smoking indoors, even in any public places. As is known to all, smoking is not only harmful to smoker's health, but also lined with negative outcomes for people who smoke secondhand. I believe that banning smoking indoors is a good and reasonable measure, which has many advantages. First of all, smokers may smoke less cigarette because of this. Besides, people who don't smoke no longer suffer from negative health effects of secondhand smoke. In addition, if people smoke indoors, a number of employees will be exposed to secondhand for long periods of time, as a result, they will get the long term effects of secondhand smoke harm. Last but not least, the environment indoors will be much better of nobody smokes, air won't be smelly any more.
I hope that those people who smoke can consider others because they don't want to be exposed to secondhand smoke and have a bad effect on their health. To sum up, I am fully in favor of prohibiting smoking indoors.

I agree with Prohibiting smoking indoors


Prohibiting smoking indoors is one of the most controversial issues.It means nobody is allowed to smoke indoors such as restaurants,houses and schools.Most people who disagree with it are smokers because they can't smoke wherever they want when they want to smoke.

I am in favor of prohibiting smoking indoors.Take my experience as example,when I was in China,there was a lot of people smoke in restaurants so it makes us uncomfortable and it also dose harm to our health.If nobody smokes at restaurant,the food will taste better and clothes won't be smelly.Smoking indoors is one of the reasons which causes fires and sets up a bad example to the people who don't want to smoke indoors.

Poverty and hunger by Janyce Collombet.



Poverty and hunger have been a problem since the begining of humanity. In the Middle Age, the line for the kitchen soup was feeding thousand of people. In the 21st century the line is still here but bigger...


Indeed, nowadays, we're not talking about thousand of people but millions who could do anything just for a piece of bread. There are severals facts that make the poverty getting bigger. It can be a war in Africa, an epidemic disease, an earthquakes in Haiti. Anyway the country doesn't really matter the only problem that matter is that we have to solve this global issue. Fact: how, in the 21st century, 35 000 children can die everyday because of the lack of food?

According to me, we spend billions of dollars in TV, commercials to feed people what they want to hear. We let them watch TV and eat thousand of chips to get fat without doing anything for the people who actually are on the news everyday. Those people are watching them suffering through the flat screen without doing anything even moving out of their sofa.
We have to understand that poverty leads to hunger. World hunger is a terrible symptom of world poverty. If efforts are only directed at providing food, or improving food production or distribution, then the structural root causes that create hunger, poverty and dependency would still remain. And so while continuous effort, resources and energies are deployed to relieve hunger through these technical measures, the political causes require political solutions as well.

A lot of organisations are here to solve the problem or at least to reduce it so please instead of being proud to spend five hundred dollar on the new Ipad just give some money to help and at this moment you will have something to be proud of.

Picture of one of the french organisation against poverty and hunger. It says "Hunger kill every four seconds".

Dictatorship and Poverty

Dictatorship is ruled by a small group, they do things as they like. People have no rights and no freedom of speech,press,religion,and no right to vote.
Those countries like North Korea,Cuba,Myanmar. Those countries have dictatorships. People that lived in those countries are suffering,they are thirsty to change the government.

About the world's poverty, the United Nations helps them with money and food yearly. I think that was not a good way to resolve the problem, it's only provides a temporary solution to the problems,and does not effect a permanent cure or get at the root. Thorough the poverty we must teach them how to depend on one's own efforts.
For example: teach how to cultivate,farm,technique, etc.
This is the way to resolve the poverty problem from the root.
