In order for people in the western world to live, we depend on people in the developing world to make our material goods. These goods are the day to day items we depend on like electronic devices and clothing. As immigrants they also do the menial jobs in western countries, like cleaning houses. I believe many people in the west are ignorant to the simple economic truth that unless there are billions of poor people, there cant be thousands of rich people. Governments pretend to help the third world, but the reality is western governments need the third world to stay in the visious circle of poverty. Otherwise if people in the third world were educated or had better jobs they wouldnt want to make our things or come to our countries to do the essential jobs we hate. The truth is the global economic system is designed to keep the vast majority or mankind in the slums permanantly. Our wealthy societie's are still being built on slavery. Do you agree? Are you willing to change?
