World Bank and poverty

The World Bank is an organization created by UN to help some poor countries in the world to develop and reconstruct. They have about 73 countries that are currently receiving help from them. The people define poverty as not having enough food to eat, not enough money, not being able to send children to school because of the school, unstable house and no close source of safe drinking water. Simple poverty is different from extreme poverty. If you live in an extreme poverty, you don't even have enough money to have the basic needs of living, such as food, water, clothing, education and health. You can't complain to the police about somebody violating your rights, they are more likely not to listen to you. You have no hope of escaping from that life unless some outer source provides you help. This is something called 'poverty trap'. Something is holding you back from getting rid of the poverty. World Bank defines poverty as barely meeting basic standards of meeting and satisfaction. There are about 1.4 billion people living in poverty. Even this is an improvement from 1.9 billion living in poverty 20 years ago. Other people need to start paying attention to the people living in poverty. If we start informing the people, the more and more people would know about their hard life and feel sympathy for them, possibly donating them money or other basic resources.
I witnessed poverty in Malaysia when i was traveling with my family in a car. We saw this Malaysian village with small and unstable looking houses. There weren't any communication antennas on the roofs. Also, there was meat hanging outside houses waiting for people to buy them. The meat was hanging in the hot sun and there were flies flying around. The people will eat them and probably get sick. It made me feel that the poverty really is a sad thing. That some of the people are living in such a bad situation.

Give every right

'Give to every human being every right that you claim for yourself.'~ Robert Green Ingersoll.

I chose this quote because this sentence relates to the human right issue. I think the quote is saying that if you want to get some rights and benefit from them, you have to give the exact same right to other people. I think he said so because if you want something good, other people would want the good right to be theirs too.Because they would want that right as much as you do to have an equal authority in the society. This relates to the human rights because everyone deserves the same right and they all want to have equal rights as others for the good of their own and the society.

Human rights for all. The human rights are given to every human on earth from the beginning of their life. The rights should be followed in all the countries. But some countries ignore those rights. In those countries, people's rights are being taken away or being violated. Some people in the world who care about those stuff try to inform other people about it, giving those people without human rights every rights that they are being deserved. Some of the people have the rights and they do appreciate the benefits that they gain from them. But when they see other people without the rights, they don't care. They don't bother trying to get them the rights that they want. So, if you have the rights, you SHOULD be trying to get other people the same rights too. Because they are same human being and they want the basic right that you want too.
