Why do we let others starve. I think about this all the time. If we were to share food, there will be enough for everyone. But, because many humans think only about themselves, people starve. In many undeveloped countries children are dying of hunger and here we sit having a comfortable life without any big problems. Poverty is not by choice, it is because of the geological location, no education and many more factors. If the government can create better policies and aid the poor, these people will eventually have a better life. Poverty and Hunger is almost never by choice, but a lot of us seem to treat it like that. We have to change our mind set and try to do something.

I really don't understand why people fight. It is something that crosses my mind every so often.I don't like violence and I try my best to stay away from it. I understand that people get angry and that causes fights. If people do not get angry then there will be no fights. War is not a good thing. We kill each other for the smallest of reason. It could be because of land, politics or resources. But is it worth killing for? I don't think so. Some people might disagree, some might agree. I believe that war is not needed. Throughout history humans have been fighting war, even before recorded history. History tells us that wars are inevitable. For example, Word War 2 was fought because, as I see it, politics. It caused the deaths of millions of people, not only those who fought the war but also civilians. I really think we should find a better way to solve our differences. I do not know how and maybe there is not a way but, I hope that wars will not be fought because of some dumb people and for dumb reasons. Only when there is no way to come to an agreement should wars be fought.

It is because of people that other people are starving and are poor.If food was distributed properly, there would be no such as starvation. When I see people not finishing their food, I really feel that people are self-centered. If you can't finished the food don't eat it. I try my best to finish what is on my plate. I don''t know how it is to starve and to be poor but, people should think of others more, not just themselves. I, myself don't do much for the under privileged, but I really feel that I should, especially those who have more than enough of money and food. People have to change and we have to change others. We have to help each other out.
