Poverty is like a plague in modern society, and some people may not even know how to spell "Poverty", while some live their entire life struggling with resources. Rich get richer; poor get poorer. The riches are dominating how the planet operates, and trying every effort to stabilize their social status. They have never thought about a simple notion that no matter how distinctive we are, we can't avoid natural disasters. Among these disasters, diseases are like a nuclear bomb that would destroy human civilization regardless of who you are. If we trace back to the past, we should realize that diseases such as bubonic plague is able to make human race result in extinction.

Poverty makes living condition worsen, and that is the reason why disease has occurred. Rich people just don't mind. They live happily in their private villas, and to them poverty would do no harm.  As a matter of fact, poverty is bond with destiny of the entire human race. Even though, the rich people are possible to escape from getting infected by diseases, would they able to runaway from the riot that poor people may launch? Even if they have become the true dominators on planet earth; what is the meaning to watch their people dying outside and hide in their own blockhouse?

Movies such as 2012, Oblivion, and so on have rooted a deep influence in me. Human beings are born to live with each others. We are a group, and no one is ever able to stand loneliness. In a group, there must be superiors and inferiors, and there are countless tasks that have to be done rely on a team. However strong or intelligent one is, one can never lift a concrete rock to build a shelter; one is never going to survive out in the wild without encouragement from one's companions. 

Poverty is our problem to solve, and only we are willing to devote ourselves to face it can we truly eliminate it. To fellow citizens on this beautiful planet, it is high time that we climbed out our caves and reach our hands out to pull people who are in need to build a community that would last forever and ever.
