Poverty as a great threat to peace and the world economy

Poverty is a great threat to society and the world system. In such a state, the laws appear to be minor and are easily broken. Our society is mostly exploited by hunger, scarcity, danger, and various other problems. All are born of poverty because it is the mother of all evils. It means that a person, who is under the slightest suffering of poverty, can take any action to satisfy the needs.

Now, we discuss the causes of poverty. Its main causes are overpopulation, unemployment, illiteracy, industrial facilities and deficient economic resources. Taking into account the aforementioned causes of poverty, one can easily distinguish between developed and developing countries. Developed countries are prosperous with natural resources and industries. Despite so much prosperity, they do not stop exploring new resources to strengthen themselves in the field of developed countries. It is useless to say that there is no poverty. Poverty is everywhere, and in developed countries there is little of it. Its cause is the honest attention of such countries to their people, and therefore the suffering is less.

Developing countries are making efforts to explore natural resources and increase industries to become prosperous, but they are badly affected by the cruelty of hunger and poverty. It happens due to bad policy. It does nothing but create problems that weaken the country’s economy and welcome hunger. If famine comes, the country’s economy falls and it takes several years for restoration. Peace turns into violence, and the terrain favors the powerful.

The other cause of poverty is terrorism. It is more dangerous and its mother is poverty. The country accepts politicians as a pillar but they are not. I think it is the lack of wisdom or education. These problems arise mainly in developing countries because the aristocratic class, the middle class and the politicians give importance to their needs. Furthermore, they keep all resources under their control. Their actions critically inflict the nation, and as a result, poverty forces them to violate the rules and regulations. None wants to become a part of terrorism, but it is hunger that wipes out all their worthwhile thoughts and controls their minds. A person who goes through the incessant hardships and suffering of life becomes anguished and tired of it. As a result, he commits crimes that destroy the peace of society. Robbery, robbery, kidnapping and murder are the root causes of terrorism. Our newspapers are overloaded with such articles, and the electronic media are also alert to carry such news several times a day. Critical poverty makes a person blind and crazy. It is a fact that a hungry man is always angry. He gives priority to money, and for it, he is willing to go beyond the limits of the human being and explode bombs on buses or in the busiest parts of the country. Today, this factor is very common and is a pure element of terrorism. Others use it for the sake of money, but the real terrorists are those who hire people in such need. It means that those who accumulate wealth and use it for negative and inhuman purposes are true terrorists. They use suffering and hungry people for their personal gain. This factor is more common in developing countries.

History is full of various examples of terrorism that are the result of extreme poverty. So Peace seems impossible because there is no solution to hunger, even in developed countries. When developed countries fall under the mania of it, they turn blind and deaf and impose false charges on weak or underdeveloped countries. As a result, they wage war and steal their resources. One can find so many examples that it is evident that they do not give importance to humanity but to natural resources. They shouldn’t play such an inhuman role. Such actions increase poverty and hunger and, as a result, your security will be at stake.

Poverty is also a great threat to the world economy. If we imagine a person whose income is small, he cannot meet his basic needs. It is impossible because eighty percent of the population is below the poverty line. All economic resources and institutes are managed by twenty percent people. One can scan that a thirsty, hungry and homeless person cannot let others live luxuriously and happily. Everything is due to mismanagement and poor distribution of economic resources and inadequate facilities. Calvin Coolidge says that the economy is always a guarantee of peace.

If we want our countries to be prosperous and developed in all fields, first of all these problems must be solved at all costs. In this way, we can defeat poverty, control terrorism and introduce a peaceful environment.
