Reflection Post
If you are the prime minister, a famous musician, or just a normal citizen, everybody in the universe is impacted by global issues. If we take poverty in India, for example, some people may have family members in India, you may go to school with someone who has relatives in India, or if you live in India, this problem may be affecting your whole lifestyle.

The statement that everyone can contribute to a positive change is completely true. For many issues, including poverty in India, people may think you have to be rich to make a difference. Just donating a few dollars to an organization that helps deal with poverty in India will help. Take this into consideration. If five hundred people donated five dollars, that would equal up to $2500!

Small actions can bring about big change connects to what I was saying about everyone contributing to a positive change. You do not have to be rich to donate only a few dollars. If numerous people donate just a few dollars, then it will add up in a hurry. 

Lets just say that we cannot solve issues by just doing it as individuals. We might be able to do small actions that create small outcomes to help these issue, but we need as many people as possible so all these small outcomes turn into a much bigger outcome. We need to stick together and make a plan, that's why there are NGOs out there. Global and local issues require a logical, problem solving approach is one hundred percent true.

How do we balance the world's need for resources and products with the protection of the people or of the government? Instead of diminishing the resources in one country or one part of the world, we need to spread out where we get the resources. We also need to buy from other countries because of the need for money to stop poverty. If we just buy from one country, then other countries suffer due to the fact that they do not receive as much income.

Who should be responsible for finding a solution to this issue - government, corporations, individuals? I believe that the government should be responsible. First of all, they have annual meetings discussing issues around the world. Secondly, if they were to discuss the issue of poverty in India, they could find a solution to either put laws to help stop poverty, or see how other countries can help India with their issue of poverty.

Globally, have things changes for the better or remained the same over the past few decades? The answer to this question is not within it. In my opinion, I think that globally, things have gotten worse. I also believe that things are going to get worse in the next few decades too, if we do not do anything about major problems around the world. Poverty, a MASSIVE issue all around the globe. Especially in India. Think about what I have taught you in my blog; the increase in population, how even themselves are making it worse. We need to make this issue more of a priority, starting now and continuing into the future.
