Poverty Should Not Exist
in the 21st Century
Many people
suffer from poverty all around the world. Poverty is when you cannot afford any
food, a home and other necessities. Poverty needs to be stopped now for all
these reasons. Research shows that 80% of our world is poverty, twenty-two
thousand children die each day due to poverty and Organisations that raise
money state wise is still not enough.
UNICEF has
shown that approximately twenty-two thousand children die a day due to the
issue of poverty which is a shocking amount. An unbelievable fact is 80% of our
world is in poverty with the remaining 20% having wealth. Research shows that
one-third of the poor people suffering from poverty live in India. That’s why I
strongly believe that poverty should not exist in the 21st century
before it takes over our whole world.
There are
many organisations that raise and donate money for these poor people, such as
world vision and many more. Bill gates and Oprah also have donated money to
these poor people but it is still not enough. By working together as a nation
or even as individuals, we can help end poverty. We should give foreign aid to
those countries stricken by poverty and donate crops, other hardware technology
and other things that could help. If we all put some effort into stopping
poverty we could help those people who don’t even have a dollar to live each
day.
In
conclusion think it is really unfair that millions of people are fighting for
their lives. Poor people should be living a normal life, which is why I
strongly believe that poverty should not exist in the 21st century
because more than 80% of our world is poverty and thousands of children die
each day due to the issue. Please think about world poverty and donate to this
cause now if you want to make a difference.

Poverty Should not Exist in the 21st Century
According to
UNICEF poverty is one of the biggest problems in the world. So what is poverty?
Poverty is when people don’t have money to buy their food. As a consequence
they are below the poverty line. Statistics show that 22000 people die every
year because of poverty, 80% of humanity is suffering from poverty and the
people who suffer poverty mostly are children.
According to
UNICEF 22000 people die of poverty every year and half of them are children.
Most of them die from hunger. This is really sickening.
Even though
lots of charities like the Smith Family help prevent poverty, 80% of humanity
is suffering from poverty. Approximately one third of the people suffering from
poverty live in India.
Another
reason is that over 9 million people under the age of 5 die every year because
of poverty. This is horrifying. Don’t you agree?
In
conclusion poverty is a terrifying thing that is killing people every second.
Would you like this to happen to you.

Poverty Should Not Exist
Poverty has existed for a very long time and
must be stopped immediately. There are many reasons why poverty must not exist
in the 21st century. This includes the fact that, children die each
day and many children do not know how to read or write. A huge number of our
world's population is poverty.
More importantly,
22,000 children die each day. This is a shocking number as it is to be stopped
because if people can manage to have a wealthy life so can people suffering
from poverty. Why is it so unfair? If we just donate clothes and money they
will be able to live a good life and those 22,000 may have the opportunity to
school as well as food.
Moreover, many
children suffering from poverty do not know how to read or write. It will be
sad to live a lonely and a uneducated life. This will not only stop poverty but
increase the level of people who are in poverty to go around the world and help
children there, so soon no one will be uneducated.
Furthermore, 80%
of our world is in poverty. How can we let this happen generation after
generation when we are all not helping? We should all have a rule that after
each month each family should pay a certain amount. That 80% could be pushed to
at least less than 80%.
In conclusion, I
strongly believe that poverty should not exist. This includes the fact that,
22,000 children die each day, many children do not know how to read or write
and 80% of our world is in poverty.

Dear Editor,
I believe
that there are too many programs that require teenagers to audition to become a
pop star. As a result teenagers are being laughed at on live television getting
humiliated and all sorts of other cruel things.
The judges
are pop stars who do not care if people are talented or not. They say that they
are not talented even if they are, just to get ratings. I strongly believe that
this is wrong. What if you were one of those people who were being laughed at on live television, would you
want that to happen to you?
The only
reason that teenagers audition to become pop star is because they think that
they are talented. Some teenagers don’t sing or any other things they enjoy
because of the auditions that they have to do. The judges say that they are not
good.
These are
just some of my reasons that there are too many programs that require teenagers
to audition to become a pop star.
