Essay You have listened to a discussion on how people in richer countries can be made more aware of poverty in other parts of the world. Write an essay for your tutor two of the approaches notes. You should explain which approach you think would be more effective, giving reasons to support your opinion. It is well-known fact that people in developed countries should have more consciousness about famine in the third world. People in developing countries need help promptly in order to have a change of a better life. We are going to discuss about this issue in attempting to solve this unfair situation. There are two possible solutions to this problem. Nowadays, media has a high impact in our society. People spend three hours a day watching television on average, therefore increased media coverage about the necessity of helping others who are living below the poverty level, it might be one solution to raise awareness of this horrendous condition. On the other hand, most people prefer to watch another kind of television shows to free their minds about daily concerns. Charity campaigns against poverty could be a good option to reduce starvation in poor countries. Even though NGOs are helping to fight world hunger it seems that their incomes are not getting enough, despite of their efforts in order to provide assistance the whole world. Perhaps they have to work in change their marketing plans to reach more people to increase their revenues. While it is true that media it might be an important way to reduce poverty in the world, I firmly believe that the key to success are the charity campaigns, showing to the entire world what they are doing and implementing transparent policies in order to people relay in their actions.
