Thursday June 20th

During class on Thursday June 20th we presented our group presentations. My group did Chapter 7: Eradicating Poverty and Stabilizing Population. In this chapter I learned how poverty has increased in the past years and what we can do about it. Its amazing to know that there is still so much poverty in the world and that there is so much that can be done. There are so many people who wake up hungry each and everyday or wake up in a very unsafe home. A lot of people don't realize the severity of this because they are not in that position and they do not see it so it isn't real. This describes the saying "out of sight, out of mind." If more people realized that this is such a worldwide issue maybe it would be on its way to becoming fixed. Obviously it will not be fixed within a day, week or month, it will take years but it will happen. If everyone comes together whether its by food drives, donating food, cleaning up the streets, etc. The world could be a better place.
