My Question:

Would You, as an individual, be willing to give up some of the luxuries in your life (make less money, etc) so the wealth of the world would be more equally distributed?

    this is very important but it seems like no one is driven enough to actually share like this, it would take everyone to contribute to make a difference. i think just because humans are greedy in nature, the rich only want to be richer, there is a lot of exploitation that goes on in the world but a lot of it is kept a secret by the big corporations. people who are more fortunate should realize this and i think the least we could do is recognize be aware of current events.
    personally i would like to think that i would give up some of the luxuries that i have in order for there to be a better balance in the world, but where exactly to start?

    I really liked your answer Alana.

    As an individual I am willing to do something for the less fortunate people. I know its not something big, but I have sponsored a child through world vision to help him have a better life. For now as a student it gets a little tough for me sometimes, because I have to work a few extra hours some months to make sure that i have enough money for my own monthly expenses and to be able to make monthly payments for the child. Therefore, its a small step, but I know its helping at least one child.

    That's awesome Varda.

    Personally I am going into debt and am having problems with all that money stuff, I'm just fortunate enough to live in a country where I can get loans, and where my parents also can help me, even if it's a little.

    I don't really have much to give out, but I do help our own country by volunteering, if we're stronger here, perhaps we can then branch out and help other countries.
