Module 3 Poverty
Nowadays
there are a lot of problems in the modern society. People all over the world
suffer from homelessness, illiteracy, war and racism. Moreover, there is a high
rate of crime. People also face population growth and ageing population. That
is why, poverty is on the increase.
Most
of people who had a privileged childhood don`t have any idea of children in the
slums. Children who live at home have plenty of love and affection. Their
parents feed them, clothe them and put them through school, while thousands of
street children live in appalling poverty and often don`t even reach the age of
18. The poverty leads to many broken homes and, if they experience violence at
home or their families can`t look after them anymore, children end up on the
streets. They sleep under bridges and in doorways. Those who can`t survive by
begging, selling newspapers or shining shoes, often turn to crime to
survive. These children are not given
even a basic education. They are not
taught basic skills such as hygiene and literacy as they don`t go to school.
Some of them are eager to learn as they see learning as a possible way out of
their lives of danger and destitution. Some volunteer groups work in makeshift
schools. Working as a volunteer is a worthwhile experience which is eye-opening
for everyone.
I
think we should all help the poor. It`s a good idea to donate to charities. We
can donate unwanted clothes and other items instead of throwing them away. I
believe that no matter how bad conditions are, there is always hope for the
future.
