"Executive Summary on Africa."
In the world there are people that do fine and some that suffer which brings us to a simple conclusion, the people that are fine should help out the suffering. The world produces more than enough and there is enough to go around to make sure no one is in extreme poverty, so why is there poverty? We humans are greedy and self indulging. Life, life of the poor calls us, the people better off, to step up and take control to help these people on their feet. We have moral obligations to ourselves to make it so that 22,000 people do not die per day due to extreme poverty when it only takes us 1 pecent of our income to save them all. Everyone needs to come together and help. That 1 percent of our income is 1 less of a luxury to save a life. Penny's a day from us all will saves thousands of lives a year. So we need to take the time and really think, is that extra luxury worth more than a human life? Do you consider that soda a day is valued as much as your life? I feel that everyone can live without that extra luxury each time and just limit it to a few times so that we can give up that 1 percent that doesn't really change our lives but makes a enourmous dramastic change in someone elses life. Those people did not ask to be in their situation and have no control over what happens and yet we do. So we need to help since we have been given the ability to help. Do I drink a soda or save a human life? I think I will hold off on the soda those few times outta the week and help take someone out of extreme poverty. So lets all save our money, those few dollars a week, and save a life.
