Poverty

When more than 1 billion people are starving in the world, something has to be done. I feel like if this fact was more widely known among the general public and if it were talked about more, more would be done. Right now, poverty is something people don't like to talk about. We are comfortable living in our own world, and don't want to open our eyes to the fact people's lives are so bad. As individuals, we cannot be blamed for this; when we think about others suffering, we are affected by it. It depresses us. But as a whole; society needs to get over the fact that it is sad, and something needs to be done.
