Living in the information age, humans are conscious of their global surroundings though many remain unresponsive to the world issues we face today. Many of the problems we face are caused by conflicting ideas from diverse societies, connecting and dividing the world two-fold. The credibility gap between nations and its small states have always withheld countries accountable in moving forward. One of the biggest struggles we face as a society is poverty. An impoverished global community is clearly viewed as the world's most serious problems. Apart from the fact that poverty can arise from injustice and violation of rights in general, poverty can itself creates injustice and deprives people of their proper rights or their ability to claim their rights. If one lacks the ability or resources to claim rights, that may reasonably in itself be seen as an injustice. How do we progress through these contradictory lifestyles? Is it our job as the "privileged" ones to lift others up to our social development? Do we even have a right to meddle in? It's not a matter of helping to help feed our own conscious but to truly effect change. We must relinquish the role of western arrogance and learn how to humble ourselves as Americans and find a way to fix and sustain the future.
