We earn $4.05 billion but we only give twenty two cents in each one hundred dollars which is not a lot of money to count how many people are starving, don’t have sufficient shelter, don’t have clean water and are uneducated. If these unlucky people aren’t educated they will make bad choices like taking drugs. These are my three reasons why the Australian government must elevate the foreign aid…

I think that it is a simpleton idea that has no real thought behind it. Time and time again there have been people in the past that have repeated this argument over and over again. But these people who claim that this is an easy idea…

companies in developing countries who have very rough work conditions is, in many cases, still better than not hiring them. As organizations such as Oxfam explained: closing down a factory in a country like Bangladesh leads to many workers who will not be able to find another job and thus not be able to feed their families.

It is also described as the income gap between the poor and the rich. A few years ago, concerns about growing income inequality decreased mainly from a belief that it is only discriminating. Now the source of apprehension has significantly grown. The dominant concern now is that inequality may have harmful effects on a range of outcomes, such as health,…
