Your article made me ashamed.I'vealways thought of myself as not the typical self-absorbed
teenager,butI guess l was wrong.While Isit in my large,warm and cozy house.wishingfor the shoes and clothes I see in teenmagazines,there are people in the world wishing for something as simple as clean water.Thank you for reminding me aboutpeople who would be more than happy with what I have.
Janet Tejada:
Whatabout the relationship between population,consumptionand resources?After all.poverty most simply defined,isnot having enough resources.Thesteady growth of the global population,overconsumption of resources by developed nations such as the U.S.,and increasing levels of C0nsumption among the growing middle classin many developing nations ensure that there is ever less of the planet’salready dwindling resources to go around.
Tadaship Kawabe:
Extreme poverty is so tragic.Sudden natural disasters like an earthquake mobilize alarge number of people and money for a short period of time,while the slow but massive wave of poverty and deathin Africa doesn't attract the world’sattention in the same way·When we try to help those affected by disasters and extreme poverty,however,weshouldn’t focus on the overwhelmingnumber of the dead but simply try to do something good for others·
Jane Thomas:
The poorshould be trained to organize,set priorities and develop skills and resources to put their owncommunity plans into action.What your article proposes is the conventionaltop-down
way for doing things:outsidersdetermine the priorities and solutions,thenthrow money at them.
To actuallyhelp,we must first develop our ownskills and understanding.We need to find out what
the poor want and what the root causes of theproblems are.Wehave to listen to poor people.
