Poverty, a essential factor in the world that keeps everthing in the balance. As the saying goes, whenever there is richness, poverty will also exist concurrently too.
Athough poverty can never be totally eradicated from the surface of the world, it is possible for the people living in poverty to improve their lives slightly with the help of the more developed countries as mentioned by Jeffery Sachs who was interviewed by Singapore Press Holdings on his view of poverty in the world and he suggested that anyone can be involved in helping the poor by just learning exactly how we can help and overcome the physcological barrier of being not afraid of them.
Furthermore,the more developed countries can offer their helping hand by providing these poverty bound countries with resources such as food,clothing,housing,medicines and even volunteers which include doctors, nurses and humanitarians as there are usually lots of diseases spreading in these areas.
However, regardless of how willing the rest of the world wants to help,sometimes it is not possible and we can do really nothing about the situation such as the geography of the area. It is a vital factor that decides the prosperity of a nation as put forward by the author in his commentary,"Can a poor country become rich?". In it, he highlighted the significant role of geographical features can affect the economy. Some of the examples are the lack of natural resources that can improve the economy dramatically and the numerous natural features lke the mountains and the rivers. Moreover, the culture of the country is also important in shaping the success of the country's economy.Without any basic schools that provides it's citizens with the required amount of education that can help to operate the factories and technological sector of the nation,the economywould just remain stagnant.
Therefore, we must analyse and investigate the root problems that is causing poverty in these countries before we can start on our journey to eradicate poverty in the world totally.
