Entry Essay

              Poverty is very evident in society today, not only in third world countries, but also in countries that are rapidly developing. It has been a big issue because it leads to other issues such as lack of education, crime, and health diseases. It should be addressed by both local and foreign leaders together in order to develop as high progress rate in the world. Officials should be willing to produce better opportunities for their countrymen through more business establishments and investments. The government should also be more willing to allocate funds that will help the less fortunate find more livelihoods within their area of residency. If poverty is addressed and given more attention, I strongly believe that this will also lead to a better economy for the country. More civilians will be able to utilize their skills and help the country keep a solid economy. Workers will choose to stay in the country instead of migrating. This way, we will get to keep our professionals instead of losing them to countries abroad. Bringing down the crime rate will also help keep people safe and give peace of mind to civilians.

              I strongly believe that tackling the issue of poverty is very important today and should be given immediate attention, especially with the decreasing rate of employers and employees all over the world.
