"The slums of Calcutta can bring a person to tears. It was not the poverty, however, but the incredible welcome that moved me the most. These people accepted me into their lives, brought me into their homes, and offered to share what little food they had with me." -Craig Kielburger

Go fix it!
“How would you fix the world?” exclaimed Mr. Whittard….
Well I started off with:
1: pardon me?
2: fix the world?
Then I really thought to myself and asked the same question, and I still came to the conclusion; I don’t know? World peace?
Then finally I asked if the world’s even damaged? The answer: of course it is. In order to fix something you need to come up with a conclusion of what’s really wrong with it… kind of like our first blogging assignment. In class we came up with our ideas of the world’s main issues. Some examples were: Poverty, Global Warming, Education etc.
In our everyday life (students of Hillfield) wake up, eat, school, break, school, eat, break, school, activities etc. So far we have the Education and well nourished down pack, however that’s a very small portion of the world population. Having no food to eat, and not even knowing what school is, is not okay. I feel like I’m going on a rant but how can you ask a question like so? I would love to end world hunger and make sure everyone has health care but we all can’t live in a dream were everything is perfect; there is no such thing as perfect. I believe I fix the world everyday, making a small difference such as donating my time to volunteer, or even as small as a penny a day… it all goes a long way.
Now you fix it!

We all have issues... 1
Today third world countries are often described as “developing” while the first world industrialized nations are often “developed”. Developing country is a term generally used to describe a nation with a low level of material well-being. In saying so with many developing nations this can cause some issues involving developed counties. Such factors may include trade, government and natural disasters.
Moreover if poverty issues were to be resolved I believe it could lead on to much greater aspects in life such as education. For example people would be able to harvest corps and trade and soon be able to have the necessities to grow an education. Soon enough with the material well-being that has been earned the population will then grow and soon become a developed country. Therefore I believe poverty is a main issue the world should focus on in order to move on and focus on the next issue.
