The Earth Planet and its Mankind, is a Sea of different Fish species living together in one Hub. There are different Races of mankind on the planet with different cultures, opinions, values beliefs and so on, but yet we co-exist together. It is a system (a set of related components working together to achieve a goal.) in that every race of mankind needs each other in a certain way in order to survive. We may not agree on all the things and each racial grouping may have a different opinion on certain things, but still we try and make a level playing field where every race is satisfied and hold on to their opinions and beliefs so as to avoid any resent and animosity toward each other. But still this does not mean that there is no animosity among mankind on this planet. There is indeed animosity as each race of Mankind wants to have control on certain affairs of the planet. However since mankind functions like system who needs each other to survive, therefore this animosity does not usually escalate to something more severe. Just like in the sea where specific fish species are only found in a specific territory within which they are in abundance, so is mankind on this planet. Each particular racial grouping of mankind is found in a specific territory where there are in abundance. But because we live in one hub which is planet Earth, hence all racial groupings can be found almost in every territory of the Planet. The only difference of course is, they are territories where a specific racial groupings of mankind exists as a majority while other groupings are there as minorities. These territories also have conditions and climate that these indigenous racial groupings are acclimatized to. However still almost every territory on earth can be inhabited by every racial grouping no matter the condition and climate. This is so saying because mankind has evolved in terms of technology and research to withstand almost every climatic condition on the earth planet. We have positioned ourselves by investing time and energy in areas of innovation, technology research and indeed economy for future survival through shared knowledge. Not every racial grouping is intelligent and innovative enough to advance on their own, but still those races that are innovative passes down whatever new technology they may have acquired or any invention they may have come up to other races for the betterment of everyone. How mankind came on this (Earth) planet or where we came from, is still a question. However because of the same racial diversity and having different opinions, values and beliefs, so many answers have come up, as to why we exist as humans on this (Earth) Planet. Some point to God as our creator others say its evolution while some simply say it's just nature Nevertheless and whatever the case may be the most important thing for every mankind is that we are existing and henceforth each racial grouping of mankind will continue to exist as long as Planet earth continues to exist and support human life.

Poverty: The nightmare of Mankind.

Sep 02, 2019 4 years ago

Poverty is a word that almost none of us want to hear or be associated with, but the truth of the matter is that half of the population of people in this world if not three quarters (3/4) of it are living in poverty. Moreover even among the lucky few who have made it to become the top millionaires of this world still confess that at one point in time they experienced poverty in their lives. They further go on to say that it was in fact poverty that made them who they are today, as it was the driving force behind their hard work and success. As many scholars have defined it, “Poverty is condition or state in which one lacks the basics of life such as food, shelter or a certain usual amount of money and material possessions to meet minimum standard of living”. For sure no one wants to live in poverty forever everyone wants to be rich and successful, but definitely not everyone is luck to make it, as ladder is just too tall to climb. Nevertheless tall as the ladder can prove to be, an effort to climb it can bring significant results in ones life. Poverty in general has a huge impact on a person and the impact can be either be positive or Negative. The negative impact occurs due to the nightmare and havoc it wrecks on person whereby every day you wake up you do not even where the next meal is going to come from or who will take care of your bills, it is indeed a nightmare as many even resort to suicide so that they get it over with .While others decide to undertake illegal means to survive such as theft, robbery, prostitution, extortion scamming, blackmailing, and drug trafficking among others, as means of survival. However much as these vices can be lucrative they do not last long as the end result is death or lifetime jail as they are bad and indeed negative vices to run to. More often than not these negative vices are the ones more prominent in our lives as they are easily learnt and looks so enticing. Hence many get affected a lot ,especially the youths from poor backgrounds as they often feel ashamed of their situation especially among their peers, who they admire and envy for their luxury things and in the end they turn to drug running , prostitution , scamming, robbery among others to make ends meets. And as you already know these does not last a lifetime as the ending is always devastating. The Positive side of poverty arises when a person living in poverty start making up legal ways and means of fighting and getting out of it. It is not an easy thing but it achievable. A person may want to pursue a certain professional career but does not have the money to be in school then that person has to make a charismatic effort of identifying an individual sponsor or organization that can help out and put him/her through school and college so as to achieve the intended goal. However should that prove not to be feasible then that person should let go of the ego and start doing odd jobs such as washing other people's cars, clothes and running other small errands during the day and later saving whatever little he/she is making to use it for enrollment in evening classes that way you will achieve your dream career. Another option is to acquire some basic income generation skills such as tailoring, plumbing, hair dressing, cosmetic therapy, heavy duty machine operation, welding and landscaping among other skills. Because by acquiring these skills your daily income is guaranteed as people will be hiring you to give them a service. Poverty is and will forever be part of mankind. But what should be in every person mind is that it is up to us to fight it by positioning ourselves and think positive, by making certain strides for the betterment of our wellbeing ,as there is no person designed to be in poverty. However should you defeat your mind by accepting that you are poor then you will continue to be poverty and your next generation forever.
