The inequality of people has gained the
attention of the media lately.
Yet common people
prefer using a dollar for something totally useless to
giving it to
charity.
This is surprising, because that dollar
could give a poor child
foor, slothing
and vaccination. Perhaps people in the industrialised
countries think
these charity aids are needless, because the government
donates a share
of its budget to help the developing countries. Yet
governments cut
their foreign aid, the multinational companies take even
higher adventage
of the cheap labour force in the developing countries and if
, after all,
people think the future will offer equal chances for everybody
without any help
from the rich, awakening from this fantasy is needed.
The information the media give is
inadequate, therefore people
should obtain
information spontaneously. Yet, common people find it
frustrating, if
the information is not very easy to obtain. Like people who
do not recycle
because the recycling-bin is 500 metres from their house
instead of their
front-yard, people do not attend information meetings if
the meetings are
not held very close to them
Thus, information about malnutrition
and poverty in the developing
countries should
be spread more vigorously if we are aiming at an equal
world. So one
should think twice before turning one's back to the next
aid encountered.
