The Hunger Project: Empowering Women and Men to End Their Own Hunger - 1 views

    As the first Millennium Development Goal, world hunger is a huge obstacle that intervenes with development. If a charity, like The Hunger Project, could increase a country's income and therefore reduce hunger, it could lead to other advancements in education and health care. What I really like about this organization is that it teaches the people how to improve their own development instead of just giving them money and creating an undependable reliance to organizations like this.

Ethnic minorities under-represented and under-paid | Scoop News - 3 views

  • Public servants from ethnic minorities continue to be under-represented in the senior management of government departments and they continue to be paid significantly below the average public service salary according to Multicultural New Zealand.
  • But Maori, Pacific and Asian public servants are mainly clustered in lower paid occupations and thus suffer from an “ethnic pay gap”.

  • “While one might not expect the ethnic pay gap to reduce substantially from one year to the next, the almost total lack of progress (and actual regression) over five years is disappointing to say the least” said Multicultural New Zealand.

    In this article, ethnic groups, such as the Maori, which are found in New Zealand, are getting paid lower wages and they are not considered equal to the other non-ethnic groups. Even though this has not escalated to a full out war (yet), what would happen if the Maori stopped putting up with being "inferior" to the other groups? Would a territorial conflict arise? I think the answers to these questions are obvious because land equals money, which equals power. So, for these Maori people to get the equality they deserve, maybe all they need is a territorial war to gain back power?

    I agree that a war for territory isn't a good idea, but at the same time, they don't have the rights they deserve. Right now there isn't a war going on, so a "peace agreement" isn't really possible, because there is nothing upsetting the peace. I think the Maori people are taking baby steps to getting the privileges they deserve but they aren't making the progress that they want to, yet.

  •  
    Why would Gaza residents risk going back home if they knew that daily bombings, lack of vital services, and the destruction of their homes and belongings is dangerously inevitable?
