Poverty Information

A short video about poverty:

An interpretation on writings by philosopher Thomas Pogge:




What can be done?
While there are different opinions out there and nothing is really for sure, it is important that we start getting our own ideas out so they can be a part of our discussions. We have to start somewhere...



What can I do?

This is the next question we have to ask ourselves. Can our personal choices make a difference? Can more awareness in your own consumption habits and lifestyle help make this a more just world? Doesn't hurt to try and look into. In fact, with all the injustice in the world it seems like it could be a worthy cause. As a good researcher would approach an issue, we should be open to and not fear discovering something we didn't expect.
