    The other day I read in a newspaper that every day die 30,000 children in the world, this is 10.5 million children a year, and most are in Africa.
    How to be injustice in the world?
    This question is easily answered because of the selfishness of rich countries who want to earn more money without regard to harm others.
    We love our lifestyle and we do not want change.
    But it is not necessary to make great efforts, we should only share half of what we have because we are all same.
    In my opinion clear that we do not need half the things we have but as I mentioned before, do not want to lose the quality of life we have, and dare we say above that we share when we who do not.
    I believe that with a little help from everyone could make the world a happy place for everyone.

  2. All the people have spoken or thought about this topic: do we really need everything we have? Sometimes we see on Tv a lot of news about people that they haven’t got anything. So we know that there are a big differents in countries of the world: While a lot of people haven’t got anything, in rich countries people have a lot innecesary things that they don’t use and they don’t remember that they have it.

    On the one hand, some people say that if you can have money, you must to advantage it, so for example if you want a t-shirt, you must to buy it, because you can.
    They usually say that the happiness is in the things and in the money, and they usually have things that they don’t remember that they have.

    On the other hand, other people say that we musn´t to be selfish. They say that we have a lot of innecesary things, and we must to share things that we don’t need. They usually say that they are happy when they share their things.

    To sump up, like other much topics, people think and speak very differents things about this, but, from my point of view, we have a lot of innecesary things, and in christmas people buy a lot of more things. I think that when we buy we must to think if is it really necesary or no.

  3. First of all I would like to say that I would not trade my life for nothing but I would also like to say that I like to put myself in the shoes of those who suffer great hunger.


    On the other hand I would like to say that all this is happening to those great people who have much money and still want more.and think they should donate a part of it to the third world.

    Today we are going through a major global crisis
    and still people do not have minded us that if we continue so we will go to ruin.
    But the question I ask myself and I still do not
    really need answered is this?
    because we can live with what is necessary.

    I heard on the radio that more children die each time in the world because of hunger but also to say that there are more people there.

    Finally, we must give everything for us and as long as necessary to help those who suffer and so more can all live with the principal to be no difference between us.

    Every day the people is becoming more materialistic and all want all and the children don't value that they have.

    On the one hand we are the guilty of this because we have consented that the childs have all that they want. I know that after the life was easy but the have to ajust to the reality.

    On the other hand today the child dont know play with wood and other things that we found in front of ours house, and its normality that the want play with moderns toys.

    In my opinion we have to educate the childs teaching to value the things that they have becouse all know that now is a hard time and we haven't to give themm all the they wany because they don´t need it.

    At these Days, The society we live has a lot of elements that benefit us, specially our needs, because many of them let, everyday, drop the physic effort and increase productivity. Many of these elements are not necessary in our lives.
    Our really needs are: to feel us, a job, and a decent house. Also, others necessary and useful elements for humans were transport; that begin for carrying heavy objects and after continuous until invented steam engine made by Stephenson.
    Through the years, others machines helped us. However, a big change happened when communications appear: the radio, television, and ways that all our us to hear, see and talk with people away.
    After, when computers and cellulars were invented, this was the big change, age of technology was born.
    People developed, and continuous developing, and addiction what finish in consumerism.
    The tops of “invents” has been Internet; by it, people can get to many places, anywhere.
    But all not finish there. Now, we know the “Domotic” system is a new use by telephone internet. Unfortunehatly this is not for everybody because its high cost, many people cannot buy it.
    So, we live surrounded by technology, but a half of them are not essential for living, nevertheless, they help us and step by step, they got into our lives.

  7. We have lots of thigs in our life that maybe we need o we don´t need but we don´t know that, we are very materialist people.
    In the one hand I think that maybe we don´t have in care all the things that we have, but that things that we don´t have in care are all the things that maybe we don´t need in that moment and people that maybe we don´t know need more than us, so I think that we have to be in some sense solidarity .
    In conclusion I think that yes, we have more things that we reality need.

    Today the people with money habe a lot of think and we don´t know what we need and what we have because sometimes we don´t think in this, only when we watch on TV a crisis notice we think in whath we have and whath we need.

    On one hand is true we need thinks for live, we need food, a house, a beedroom,clothes and more thinks for live and if other people haven´t got this thinks it isn´t our problem.

    On the other hand sometimes we don´t need all the thinks we have, we buy something and we don´t use this think a lot because really we didn´t need it.Really we don´t think in the posivilities we have and we buy a lot, we don´t need this thinks.

    In my opinion we don´t need everythinks we have and we could think in the people don´t have a lot of think and buy only whath we need for live.

  9. Nowadays many children of africa die because they do not have anything to eat but not only it is because of it also they influence other factors as the health.
    While we complain about what we do not have.

    On the one hand also it is necessary to say that we do not decide where we were born because many must of feeling been grateful for having born in any place. Since it is necessary to put in the place of these persons and know which are the dangers that affect them every day.

    On the other hand we must think of not being so selfish because we have so much and they so little.
    who can explain to me that we should be so consumer without thinking about the person that this to our side

    In conclusion we will be consumer but we do not buy anything for those who indeed from heart need it

    I think we have more than we need to have.We have a lot of jealous things like: clean water,we can have a bath when we want,we can study to be something in the future...I can conntinue if i want.I can divide this opinion in two apparts

    On one hand,in rich countries we have the oportunities to study to be something in the future,we ha all of we want and the oportunities in this countries are very good.

    On the ot her hand,can we look the other people dying because the haven´t got anything to eat?it is a good question they havent good oportunities they haven´t got anything.

    In my opinion i think we have to help the other persons in concretly the poor persons.

    I think the situation we're in foor years the planet should not be so.The people of third wold should have at least basic food because like us they should have the same right to eat like us.
    The Children also have the right to education and who are the future and are going to carry out the world.We complain about everything and have people think that really what is going wrong.We should think more about others and say it is good to me even if I agree with little to help those people for example through ONG.
    they will always appreciate it.
    I think that.
