Introduction
My starting point for doing this was to revisit my opinions to the multiple choice questions
which were presented in the Crossroads assignment. I present these current opinions, together
with my original opinions, and some brief notes in the section entitled: "Back at the Crossroads!"
Once I have done this, I draw some key conclusions about this crazy module and about the things
that did indeed strike me. Back at the Crossroads!
1.(YOU MUST WRITE NOTES ON THIS QUESTION) "Why do somepeople have to be
miserably poor in order that others can be extravagantly rich? I speak for all the children in the
world who don't even have a piece of bread." (Fidel Castro) My personal opinion on this
statement, is most closely described by:
a.Who cares what Castro said? He was an ideological dinosaur anyway.
b.Wealth and poverty are unrelated phenomena.
c.Well perhaps the rich should just stop all their charity and we'll see where this leaves the
ungrateful poor.
d.Well on a simple technical level, the answer to this is poverty and wealth are both relative so
it's just not possible for there to be someone rich without someone who is relatively poor.
e.I think this is the wrong question. The right question is: "How do we prevent people being
extravagantly rich while others are miserably poor?"
Choice now: E Choice in assignment 1: E Notes: Poverty and wealth are often found side by
side. They are two dimensions in our world that are interrelated because they affect each other
and influence both the willingness and capacity of states to ensure a stable global system.
Poverty and wealth are both relative, for example in politics My goal in creating this portfolio
was to contemplate the aspects that have stood out to me during this intense module.
most people who are poor are the ones who votes for rich people. Thinking that the person will
reduce the poverty because he/she is rich but they just get more richest. With the help of a poor
people. In the world today there is a lot of poverty. There is a great divide between the world's
rich and poor people. In the world today there are also rich people but the number of poor
peoples out number them. There are many reasons as to why there is poverty in the world. Being
a poor person can mean that you do not have enough food to eat for months, or even years and
not just for a few hours or few days. Poverty can also mean not having enough money to be able
to pay for lives necessities such as clothes, food, a place to live or even medicine that you may
need when you ill.
2.(YOU MUST WRITE NOTES ON THIS QUESTION) "Save the rhino!!" My personal
opinion on this statement is most closely described by:
