Third Day

Over three billion people live off of less than $2.50 every day. With over half the world's population struggling to make ends meet, closer research shows that many of these people reside in developing nations. In these countries, almost all are currently war zones, leaving the question: What is the connection between warfare and poverty? This idea comes from researching various countries who are both considered developing and are fighting wars at the same time, in order to determine the…

Success- the accomplishment of an aim or purpose. What a funny word to describe America. Sure every country has its ups and downs but look at America lately. Sure we are successful at helping other countries and providing aid to those third world countries but look at what is happening in America, drugs have plagued this nation, poverty has flooded the streets, and unemployment is destroying families. But no need to worry, we can go get welfare and have the government pay for our drugs, alcohol,…

I was a shy twelve-year old girl when I moved to Canada from a third world country. Being the 2 first woman in my generation to hold a university degree, it was a milestone that I never 3 thought I would achieve. Pedestrian rights were the first rights which fascinated me.

After reading the book How Soccer Explains the World, there were many chapters that hit very close to my heart, causing me to feel emotion. The chapter that affected me the most and was very moving to me was How Soccer Explains the Jewish Question. "An entire movement of Jews believed that soccer and sport generally, would liberate them from the violence and tyranny and anti-Semitism." That quote is incredibly powerful and liberating. The chapter explains how throughout history there has not…

life. In life most people are born without a mental illness and they go through life not knowing what it is like to have one unlike me. When I was born I had Dyslexia and ADHD so I had a hard time in english, reading and staying awake for most of the day. I could never understand social cues or slang so I was out casted from my class because it seem like I have a curse and that nobody wants it. In life I had a few friends that come and go and sometimes they become my own worst enemies to come in…

traditionally accepted according to No Ceilings data, 1 in 4 girls worldwide was married before age 18 and if the trend continues, 140 million will become child brides by 2020. And this is something that I have witnessed coming from the Dominican Republic, a third world country where women are expected by society to be a housewife by a certain age or otherwise they are considered to be “too old”. Women and men are living longer than ever. And HIV infections are declining, females aged 15 to 24…

World War of the century; even the name connotes the new scale of the world. People could be interconnected, especially as new technologies could communicate liberal philosophies across the globe. White students living in American cities could read “Third World” liberation theories and find applicability in their own self-styled liberation movements. 1968 in particular was a peak year of student unrest internationally, with protests citing many of the same issues – Vietnam, decolonization, race…

A third world country is considered to be a country that has not undergone industrialization and has little to no economic growth and social improvements (Chapter 2 Power Point, Slide 15). Indonesia has become a pillar of economic growth and political excellence, but this is all at an expense of its poorer neighborhoods. As seen in the documentary “New Ruler of the World,” John Pilger visits labor camps that…
