No need to go far!
May 10 2007, 5:06 PM EDT
This video talks about poverty around the world however, we do not need to go far to see poverty. Everywhere in this city are examples who those who are not as fortunate as we are. San Francisco has one of the most highest homeless popluatons of any nations. Yet, on the other side of town reside some of the most well of people in the world. The city lines thus puts life into perspective and helps us realize that their is much to do, even if to just go out and donate things that can help or to help create policy change that can help people in need.The song by John Mayer....Waiting for the world to change...reflects the need for you us to go out into the world and create change. Do you find this valuable? |

I agree with this author because poverty does exist everywhere. It exist locally, nationally and internationally. That is why people who have more then others should give back. I went to Maryknoll High School in Honolulu, Hawaii. Our school motto "Noblesse Oblige" which means must is given, must is expected. This to me means that people should give to others. Not because they are in need but in a matter of a kind heart. There must be people who have given you things, and you should in return give to others as well. As poverty exist there are people who are on the opposite side of the spectrum. People who have wealth, riches, or even a better financial background should donate, give back, volunteer to people in need and people who are facing poverty. I feel that people should donate or give their time to make this world a better place. People should help other people to help better their lives. Even a small donation or a small gift can change someone's life. Do you find this valuable? |
