Poverty and Wealth

Poverty is present today and continues to grow. As wealth is created among the richest, the gap between the rich and poor are spread apart further. Luckily in America, we have the government's social safety net programs to aid poverty and eliminate absolute poverty. Third world countries who lack the help to get out of poverty, stay in poverty, as the world continues growing. It is sad to see the extreme wealth that is in America and look across the globe and see starvation, disease, no shelter, no technology, and the list could go on and on. Middle and Low class citizens experience extreme financial difficulties, but it is nothing like the those of other countries. Taking for granted the roof above our heads, the food we have access too, and the quality of life can happen everyday. As we go about our busy lives we sometime forget to stop and think about what we have.

Access to Education

Having the access to general education and higher education has a big impact on the growth of individuals and societies. Education is important to making decisions that impact our life in important ways. Health, social, and intellectual choices are few of those decisions that are directly linked to education. In order to understand certain things about our world, bodies, and social being we must be taught or educated to help grow in those areas. Without the access to schools and universities, the economic surroundings are affected negatively and can be plainly seen by the environment in which they inhabit. Health will be poor in most of the area due to the lack of medical facilities and doctors; also the affordability of medicine can cause health problems to persist. Crime can occur because of the poverty in the area. Those areas will not thrive unless they have access to proper education that allows them to grow as an individual to help better themselves and the world.

Living In Different Parts of the World

Sometimes in everyday life we forget how many things we take for granted. The access to clean water, food, clothes, and even shelter. These are just some of the basic necessities we usually do not think to much about. Most of the time our minds are wandering off and not considering some of the things we have. All of these necessities are directly linked to the health of individuals. If someone cannot get to clean water or food, they can get very ill and then lack medical facilities or doctors to treat the illness. The easy access to everyday essentials has made life living in America rather simple compared to living in a undeveloped country. Living in different parts of the world can have many advantages and disadvantages and should be taken to thought and not just pasted over.
