A person living comfortably in a developed country may find it difficult to address issues like global poverty or think about how many people are starving around the world. Though not necessarily intentional, this lack of awareness leads to inaction.
When local political figures do not hear anything from the people they represent on certain issues, they focus on addressing other topics about which people seem to care more.
As a result, bills regarding hunger do not get passed, people do not volunteer their energy and nothing gets done about global poverty.
Considering how many people are starving around the world today, people in developed countries must take action, even just by calling or emailing their political representatives about addressing global poverty.
Though it seems like an insurmountable task, enough mobilization beginning at the individual level can help to eradicate poverty once and for all. <!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
