(Mainly the US)

There is much debate on the topic of aiding the world’s poor and it is clear that these peoples of extreme poverty need relief. It is just who should help them. Many say it is their fault so they can deal with it, and with some countries this is true, but mostly , this is an understatement. The term, “Third World ” is a name applied to the technologically less-advance, or developing nations, nations like Asia, Africa, and Latin America. There is poverty in all nations and these impoverished people make up over one-fifth the world’s population. What is debated , though, is whether an economically strong country like the United States or Canada should help the world’s poor, or, rather, help their own “depraved”and “starving”. It is hard to stomach that with such plentiful resources and so many jobs open existing in the United States and Canada, that its own residence would even consider turning their backs on these foreign starving people to plump the already fat citizens living within its borders.

The typical American enjoys a steady $22,000 annual income, an abundant food supply , health and dental care, a free kindergarten to high school education, a nice home, public and personal transportation, paved roads, all the utilities, a democratic government, capitalistic economical system, as well as a minimum wage ( $5.15 an hour) and welfare. Here people are individuals and always have something to fall back on. The poor here are rich compared to the many who form communities at the dump in places like Mexico City. Sure, we have homeless and in some cases , extreme poor, but a “ Job Opening sign” is seen all over in windows all across the nation.
