I cannot comment
intelligently on specific countries because I do not know enough about them. I
can only speak generally about poverty and terrorism. I can only say that
violence, terrorism and poverty are against improving the economic conditions
in many countries. The root causes of violence and terrorism is the result from poverty. Terrorism will only be effectively tackled when poverty
is properly addressed. We have to start down the road towards economic
improvement.
For this, the voice of the poor should be taken to the policy makers. We have
huge amounts of resources that are being used to fight the elusive enemy, terrorism,
while the evident enemy, poverty, is left to grow more dangerous. Eradicating
poverty is not as simple. Eradication of poverty and the ending of hunger have
long been recognized as among the most central challenges. Equitable growth are
essential for poverty reduction. Policies supporting economic stability, as
well as embedded safety nets are necessary to reduce poverty and protect the
poor. Strategies to reduce poverty must be situation-specific, directly addressing
the realities on the ground.
Poverty today is high. The poor depend on agriculture. Making appropriate
investments in roads, electrification and infrastructure would help considerably in improving lives. Increasing investments in basic education and health care are
important too. Policy makers must focus on generating high rates of stable
growth. As we know, poor educational systems and terrorism have resulted from many
people being poor. Thus, we need to formulate economic policy. We need to heavily invest in education, land grant based universities and industry support for higher education. To overcome these problems people have to get involved.To change
the economy educated individuals would have to actively participate in the
economic process.
In conclusion, poverty reduction is a moral duty of the well educated people too. Therefore, in order to effectively fight poverty, we must take the broadest possible approach. Poverty has a direct role in our instability. Poverty has damaged our confidence. Poverty is the major obstacle in the way of institutional development. The elimination of poverty is a big challenge to the future economic growth. Poverty also affects people's daily lives. We need to invest more in the basic needs of our people. There is no doubt that terrorism and poverty harms democracy.
