Malnutrition and unclean water are major causes of death in developing countries. While people in developed countries have access to a glass of fresh water anytime of the day, it’s quite the contrary for people in developed countries whose only source of water is the river that’s miles away.

In this modern day, many have grown to assume that the injustice of slavery was abolished with the acceptance of all men created as equal (Declaration of Independence) even though this was just the tip of the iceberg. The main problem we face with the extinction of human trafficking is the lack of knowledge that the problem still exists. By shining a light to this controversy and the motivation to abolish it, will help in the eradication process one country at a time. The main

Pro-globalization groups e.g. World Trade Organization and the World Economic Forum believe that globalization helps to reduce poverty and increase living standards as well as encourage a better cultural understanding.

Personal Statement If you feed someone, his belly will be filled for one day but if you teach someone how to earn bread, he can fill his stomach throughout his life.

Search in thirst of knowledge made me experienced as travelling across India to understand the challenges of poor people.

It is important that all people have the human right to health and not fear if something or someone is going to keep them from living a healthy life. It is a sad reality that most people in developing and developed countries are denied the human right to health and face socially determined barriers that keep them from achieving their best health. To gain perspective on global health inequities it is important to understand that inequality and inequity are concepts that are used interchangeably. Inequality
The Millennium Development Goals and Human Rights Introduction In 2000, 189 member states of the UN set out international development goals, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), by committing to the pursuit of tackling issues such as poverty, hunger, illiteracy, diseases and other key social issues by 2015.

Christian Response to Third World Poverty and Injustice b) Every disciple, every authentic Christian, must be on the road: not yet arrived or perfect, but moving, striving, falling and restarting in hope, and this ethos applies to the tackling of Third World poverty and injustice.

By introducing such a scheme, sufficient surpluses could still be created in order to support and alleviate poverty without encouraging the rich to
Development Goals (MDGs), established at the 2000 Geneva Conference are to be achieved within 601 days at the time of submission, if the world is to meet the target date of 2015. The progress of the MDGs has been measured and compared within various studies, and although there is still a long way to go, this UN incentive has encouraged positive action within developing countries to break the poverty cycle (Permanyer, 2011). In particular, the progress of the targets and indicators of Goal 1, as implemented

Drug trafficking actually increased through Panama (Fishlow 120). In 1995, the US began to fund aerial eradication campaigns in Colombia. Military planes dumped pesticides over thousands of acres of coca fields. These campaigns turned out to be counterproductive, leading to an actual increase in the amount of coca acreage. The spraying of coca only led Colombian
