Poverty

In our Global Issues class, we watched a video raising awareness of poverty. It showed a picture showing a scene of poverty, and a person in a civilization of wealthiness holding a paper with a fact about poverty.

I think what made this video have a strong message was that most people in the scenes of poverty is staring towards the out side of the photo. This let their sadness be shown through photo. Also, the information written on the papers shown in the video made me look back on how I lived. They told me that while I was throwing away food, water and money for my comfort, many were dying from lack of them.

I think we can make a video like this, to raise awarness of many serious global issues taking place in the world this second. No matter what problem we face, we can solve it, if we, all human beings, are aware of it.
