Let's Change the World

You know how more and more people are becoming "poor"? Where they don't have enough money to afford the necessities? How prices are skyrocketing? How more people are becoming unemployed and it's harder for them to find a new job? In the race to become the best, the richest. Their selfishness, power, hunger, and greed, is making the rest of the world suffer. Machines have replaced the jobs of many factory workers. Prices are going up. We are overproducing products and doing nothing about it. Production is sometimes so fast paced that it becomes dangerous. There are people without running water, without food. The starving, the hungry, the homeless. Within our country and within other countries. While our supply is greater than our demand, other people are dying. The money we are wasting to produce useless extra products, could be used to help those starving, hungry, dehydrated, people. People are dying because of the greed of just a few people. People whose mind is only on one thing. Money.

Our meat packing industries are one of those that are only focused on the money. Did you know that meat packing is one of the most dangerous jobs in America? This is because it is so fast paced that many workers are injured on the job. Furthermore, this fast pace can sometimes result in manure ending up in our meat. Animals are kept in close quarters and fed antibiotics almost daily. Sometimes resulting in the bacteria becoming immune to the antibiotics. The meat industry is cruel to both it workers, an the animals. And for what? One word. Money.

We can change this. We can change the world. Most supermarkets buy more of what the customers buy. If more customers buy organic food, that what they will supply. It's horrible really... how some people just don't care. How they do whatever they can for money. What about the starving people in Sub-Saharan Africa and other parts of the world? Even right here in the U.S. Try thinking of it this way. How would you feel if everyday of your life, you had to work hard just to survive? Going back to your family every night, and having to huddle together just to keep warm? Sleeping on the floor, or a mat they you had to hand-make. If when you had a child, you had to keep in mind that your child might die before they were even one-year-old, because you don't have enough food, or water, and because there aren't very many doctors where you are. It's those things that we take for granted that can make the difference on whether a person lives or dies. And somewhere, someone is experiencing what I just described.

You may be asking yourself, "I am just one person, one out of seven-billion. What can I do?"
Everything. What you do can change someone's life. Don't just sit back, take action. Together, we will change the world. Just because you are one person, doesn't mean you can't make a difference. I mean look at me. I am 14, yet here I am, writing. Raising awareness. Trying to change the world. There are people that need our help, and now is the time to help them. Now is the time. Join me, in changing the world. What can you do to help? got any ideas? Share them with the world.
