It seems that today the world is filled with many problems. The problem i have a specific concern about is poverty. I mean, there's even poverty in the richest places lke America. I can understand why there is poverty in 3rd world countries, but I think there shouldn't be in rich countries. Think about this : We've all seen filthy rich people on television. Think Paris Hilton for example. These people have 20 houses. Some people don't even have 1 house. What they make in a day could be more than someone makes in a year. People are starving and hungry every single day. But how much do we really pay attention to this? Most likely, if you ask people, most of them don't even know the poverty rates. I think that there is too big of a gap between the rich and the poor. The rich countires should try and help the poor countires more. Actually, the rich countires should actually help out the poor people living inside their own country. Poverty should be something more people are more educated about. but that's just my opinion.
