Equality for all

I feel that in the 21st century, there are many of us who are very lucky and are able to lead a life without worries. Many of us do not have to think if there will be enough food to place on the table.

I feel that a very important way to eradicate poverty is to allow for more global equality. I think that there are many developed countries, which are rich enough to not have to worry about having enough of life’s basic necessities. However, there are also some countries, which are unable to put food on the table. They may not even be able to get the bread that we, in developed countries, think as something that is not delicious at all. Some of us complain when we do not get to eat pizzas and burgers. However, the poorer people do not even have the ability to eat the bread, which we complain about. Many of them just hope to get to eat it.

I think that global equality is a very important thing. I believe that equality for all regardless of race, language, nationality, religion and other differences is very important, as this is what can help to eradicate poverty. I think that despite their race or nationality, we should give them the same opportunities to succeed. When they get this opportunity to succeed and they make good use of it, they will be in a much better position.

I think that we should try to accept and even learn to appreciate this diversity rather than ostracise those, who are different from us. We should not try and deprive them of the chance to succeed in life. I feel that those who are richer should try to share some of their wealth with those who are not so fortunate and do not have the ability to even fulfil their basic need of three meals a day.

Although it is true that we should not give someone money just because they have no money, we should try to give them the opportunity to prove themselves as someone who is able to succeed in life and is, therefore, someone who is worth giving money to.

I feel that the developed countries should try to help the developing countries develop faster and eradicate poverty, so as to ensure that their people will be able to get the meals that they require to eat. I believe that this should be done in order to eradicate poverty.

Education is also an important key to the eradication of poverty. I think that we should try to educate those from the developing countries so as to make sure that they also get the chance to do what the people in developed countries do and get the chance to study like children who are from developed countries.

With education, the people of the developing countries will become more able to make good decisions for their countries as well as themselves and this will therefore help to make their countries more developed.

I believe that we can help to eradicate poverty throughout the world.
