The issue that I would like to work on is the issue of poverty. Poverty is a global issue affecting millions of people around the world. It has been the cause of concern for many people because poverty leads to other dangerous issues that may affect humanity, human lives and human values. Poverty is prevalent all over the world because of the poor economic structure of countries, poor resources and also because of illiteracy. The other reason for poverty is simple laziness of people because they do not want to work, or they may not have skills to earn money to make a living for themselves. It is a potentially dangerous issue and it need to be solved.

Poverty matters a lot in today’s world because poverty leads to other issues, such as increase of crimes, malnourishment in children, early deaths of children, terrorism, social conflicts and tensions among people. Poverty also can lead to another main issue of homelessness. It matters a lot for everyone, people who are poor and people who are not so poor, and countries that are poorly developed and countries that are well-developed because poverty may also lead to increase in immigration and this immigration may become a world issue.

Poverty also creates a burden on the economy of the country. The healthcare field may be affected because poor people may suffer from many diseases and they would need treatment. They may not be able to pay for their treatment and the overall burden of healthcare would come on the government healthcare institutions. Poverty is not a problem of a single individual, but it is a problem of a community and a problem of the nation. People may think that poverty is a chosen “problem,” but this is not the case. Sometimes the economic situations in a country and the prevalent corruption and unemployment may become the cause of poverty.

The best solution to the problem would be globalization and global help. The poor countries have to be helped by the richer countries. The solutions should not be like donating money and feeding for a day, but the root causes have to be identified and they have to be dealt with to deal with the issue of poverty right from its roots.

Poverty is a global issue and there are many causes behind poverty, and at the same time there are serious consequences because of poverty so some solutions are essential and the help from the richer and developed countries is a welcome thought and a necessary one. This essay argues that poverty is the problem of countries and communities, and therefore the root causes of this problem have to be identified to eradicate it completely.

Second Issue

The issue I would like to work on is the issue of homelessness. The problem of homelessness is an important social and communal problem because it can lead to different other problems of increase in crime, poor humanistic values and a total downfall of humanity. People who are homeless may suffer from psychological problems, and may harm themselves and others around them. Homeless people may also suffer from diseases due to lack of the essential amenities of life. Many people may think that homelessness is because of the individuals and not because of the community or country, but I would say that homelessness is indeed a problem of the community and country and they have to take a combined blame for the same.

My stance is that homelessness can be eradicated and people living without homes can be given a chance of decent living. The best solution to the problem is that the governments should create jobs and residential hostels for the homeless. The jobs can be everyday jobs, such as printing, cooking foods, and even ironing and washing clothes. These mundane jobs also generate big money, and this would help the homeless to earn for themselves and also get a permanent shelter over their heads.

Homelessness is a severe issue, and it is essential that it be considered as a global issue and appropriate measures should be taken by the governments to deal with the problem of homelessness and strike it out right from our world’s history. It will not be easier to deal with homelessness, but it will not be impossible. The people with homes and luxuries should come forward philanthropically to help the homeless and provide them with shelter and the other necessities of life and give them a chance to live a normal and happy life.
