United States vs Dominica
Yesterday's lesson was very informative in the fact that I never really stopped to realize how good we have it in the US, especially in regards to clean/purified water. Water is an essential to any living object's being and the fact that a lot of people monopolize water in order to make profit is really sad. I am not really sure how the few people can take extensive amounts of water, charge everyone else for this natural product, and not even care or think about the problems that will eventually occur. Whether it is the lack of knowledge that these CEO's have, or just pure ignorance, something needs to be done in order to help our future and also people in countries that are dying because of their lack of good water. The country of Dominica does not have as much of a "clean" water shortage, but they are lacking many things such as nutrients and health care that they deserve. It is extremely sad to know that there are so many health care settings available in the US that most people take for granted, when we could send our resources and supplies over to places such as Dominica where people would appreciate more if they had such things available to them. Hopefully we will help a change begin in countries, particularly Dominica, to give those less fortunate the care they deserve which then can branch to other countries in need also.
