Aid to Africa
When the topic discussed is poverty, people can not be objective. Starving and having a battle with poverty and diseases is a problem which seem to be have no solution. But as said in the articles, which are shown in our WebQuest, People have a lot of disjunction on ideas: some of them say the aid given to African people must be doubled and some of them say no aid have to be given. But actually the point is not the aid given to Africans, the point is how the aid given them. I think may be one of the reasons of this poverty in Africa is because of that aids' given them inaccurate by rich countries. For example if rich countries had not sent Africans food and they give that money for improving their crops and agriculture, there would not be any starving and food crisis. I think the first thing have to be done in a undeveloped country is increasing the trade and market. For example if Africans can produce cotton after the substructure work for that country(ex: feeding soil by using technology, founding factories and giving them raw materials with no fare) they will use this cotton for producing shirts etc. And than they will lead their life with the money they take from rich countries. The second thing should be improved and reconstructed is education system. Rich countries should channelize the help of theirs to education and invest the money for growing people. Then year by year it will be seen that education improves the life standard in country. The third thing is health. If there is no health, there will be no people living. Thats why for HIV people should be treated in big and improved hospitals, so hospitals should be founded there and HIV defeated people should not have any relation with HIV negative people. And people should be educated for not having sex or any blood transfer with HIV positive people. In additin HIV positive people have to not have children. After that people should be educated for not having overpoulation. These things actually will cost a lot for rich countries, so I will probably say aid should be doubled or tripled. Aid should be increased but not by sending them food, by doing the things I said. I think the only way of rescuing the African people from all that suffer is trade and market balance, education and health services improvement.
