Letter to the Editor Essay -- Comment on World Poverty

Dear Editor, I was disgusted to read the letter from Mr I Amok, and the points he do on poverty. Where he said, poverty isnt that bad, only a few nation are really poor. I think that he hasnt studied countries enough because countries in Africa have people that cant even afford sustenance, clean water and clothing as it is stated in the booklet where it said, our water hole dried up. Where he said people just wishing us to feel sorry for them, they just want us to help them because it was our fault in most cases that they got in that situation, because when we were a empire they were self count onent but we told them to grow cotton but as the years have gone on the cotton market has crashed and they are no longer self dependent. He al so said charity begins at home because not everyone can afford a car. A car is not important compared to food. People can live without cars, but people cant live without food it is not possible. World poverty is a growing issue I think mr I. Amok should be educated more(prenominal) on this situation. He may not realise all factors that are involved. In my opinion poverty is a massive factor in the 3rd world countries and everywhere else that it affects and mr I. Amok does not understand it as he has shown in the letter. He goes that he heard somewhere that there is enough food in the world to feed everyone, this is true but the problem is the 20% of rich people in the world use 80% of the resources the... ...his. This would get them up and running so the could begin to plan for the future. Another way in which we could help if we were really desperate to help, is the could have a fair trade calendar week were everywhere only sold products that fairly tr aded and this would help us to understand and it might even give the companies the urge to fair trade if they dont all ready do so. I think our contribution to aid has helped the these countries but we cant just keep giving them it because could just stop everything and depend on our aid which would put them in a even worse position which we or they dont wont to happen, although this may sound grating we should give them aid if they are desperately in need of it so they dont become dependent on the aid. I hope I have helped all the readers and especially Mr.Iamok. Yours truly,
