My idea for my 3rd paper is going to be solving world poverty.  The countries that have the most poverty are generally in Africa, Asia, and South America.  One thing that we can do as a first world country is to convince our government to give money to the poor of those countries.  It doesn’t necessarily have to be the government either.  It could be the billionaires of the country such as Bill Gates and Warren Buffet.  Another thing is giving food to the poor countries as well which some some corporations such as Red Cross and other non-profit groups do.  An encouraging thing is that poorer countries are starting to pull themselves out of poverty which needs to be done to help with world hunger and war among other issues.

First, we need to abolish the poverty in our own country.  This can be done by having our government create more jobs and new businesses starting up.  Shareholders and the public have brought up during our tough economical time that many top level managers are still making multi-millions of dollars while a majority of us are struggling to make enough money to support our families.  That is something that should be looked into if we are to abolish poverty in our country and others around the world.  There are, however, more urgent needs in the world than those of poverty, such as the many acts of violence that are taking place in the world.  A big thing that needs to change is terrorism and once that stops we can live in a much more peaceful world and start making money for the poorer people.
