Topic > How to Make the World a Better Place - 814

When my mother saw beggars standing at the crossroads asking for help, my mother tried to help them by giving them money, but my father argued that you shouldn't help because this doesn't it would only encourage them to rely on the help of others. My father says they should be helped by the government, instead of individuals. It is not our responsibility to take care of them. I disagree with both because they don't look or think about the issue carefully enough. I think people are not only facing problems of wealth, but also disease and war. These are problems that many people in many other countries also face. If we work together, we could help each other and make this world better. In my opinion, there are several solutions that poor and rich countries, working together, could implement that would benefit both. Preventing diseases is the responsibility of every country, both poor and rich. Poor countries lack the knowledge and money to acquire and expand medical resources. Therefore, many people failed to recover. For rich countries, diseases are mutating at incredible speed. Patients are dying because pharmaceutical companies do not have enough data to produce vaccines that can cure patients. When developed countries help poor countries heal their populations, developed countries might help underdeveloped countries. Since developed countries can provide more medical resources to poor countries, people living in poor countries could be cured. As for developed countries, they can collect samples from patients so that pharmaceutical companies can produce new vaccines for new diseases. When trying to cure diseases, developed and poor countries would have a lot of paper... they could stimulate their economy. This would also benefit poor countries. As developed countries stabilized energy prices, food prices in underdeveloped countries would not rise. Therefore, people living in poor countries could purchase food and survive. When rich countries solve energy crises, they are also saving millions of people living in poor countries. Ultimately, countries that cooperate and do not discriminate against each other will help themselves and the world prosper. If these developed countries continue to pre-judge underdeveloped countries based on wealth or other conditions, when people face serious problems in society, these problems will become global. By helping each other, all countries offer hope and compassion and share new knowledge with each other. Therefore, people around the world would suffer less, because they know they are not alone.
