Why are people trying to ignore social problems around the world?

Question

problems like poverty, hunger and pollution.

some people just ignore the fact that they are true! why is that?

Answer 1

people ignore it because most of us don't have enough ourselves to do anything about it. most governments and big business ignore it because you can't make a buck on homeless , and broke people, and it costs too damn much to take care of the environment. look at Iraq and darfur. darfur was a problem way before we went into iraq, but there was no squeezing oil out of those people. It is sad but true. if there was oil in darfur i bet the janjaween would have been labeled a terrorist organization, and we would have invaded.

Answer 2

You are absolutely correct. But as the world has gone through you will see it has become a better place to live compared to about 50 years ago. Science has done its part in supporting a larger population than it was 50 years ago. Famines and poverty were there everywhere then, but now it is on the decline. Take for example India. when it got Independence it was a famine country always looking for aid from well to do countries. But now there had never been a famine and it has reserves to match any country, but the population has also grown. On the other hand the west is losing population. As people are more educated and comfortable they tend to have less children. So don't worry all the poor countries when they get rich their population will stabilize. Today China has relaxed the one child policy but I am sure it is not going to have any big impact on its population since they are getting richer and they will not like to have more children. Women who are educated and independent will see to it that they population s kept at a reasonable level.
