The world working together – is it impossible? The world today finds itself in a very particular balance, a balance never before achieved. Statistics reveal that the richest fifth of the population consumes more than 80% of the world's resources. This is an important question and a very central topic in global debates. In contemporary times, while the richest countries possess great wealth, it is generally accepted that a part should be granted to the poorest countries, as assistance, to help them build a functioning society good and improve the quality of life of the poorest countries. areas. Yet while most rich countries have agreed to donate 1% of their GDP to charity for poorer countries, very few countries come close to this 1% agreement. Some of the closest countries are Norway and Sweden. There must still be reasons for this. Why are the richest countries somewhat reluctant to help the less fortunate? First of all, there are multiple reasons why this is not the case. A very important reason is that many countries and their citizens do not believe in the ability of poorer countries to invest their money well. It can be said that they think they might be tricked into giving money into a very risky investment. It is also one of the main causes of poverty in the world; namely the lack of appropriate investment. We can therefore easily understand why some countries are hesitant to give money. This argument is closely linked to the fact that some leaders are simply corrupt. They take the money themselves and then use it for things that do not bode well for the general public. This is obviously followed by strong doubt, because rich countries do not want to nurture corrupt leaders. Second, it is a fact that... middle of paper ...... poorer countries have access to commercial markets, but only if various conditions are met. Above all, corrupt leaders around the world must be abolished and dethroned. Corrupt leaders make this improvement impossible, and if they stand in the way, they must be removed. Second, trust between countries must increase, but this cannot be done without reason. Poorer countries must make wise investments and stop participating in wars or other conflicts. All of this is really just a downward spiral that needs to be reversed. The actions needed to reverse the spiral are highly idealistic, but entirely possible. This basically goes back to humans and their natural greed. This means that if we want the world to change, we, as citizens, country leaders, and empathetic humans, must first change. And it might take a while.
