When the Wind Blows
      I would never forget a comic book that I read when I was a little kid. Written by Raymond Briggs, "When the Wind Blows" was a political allegory which warns citizens of all countries that their governments may start a war any time. Even though nuclear war never occurs in the real world, we may understand the fact that there are many things out of people's reach, and the government may ignore people's demanding and execute false protocols which bring destructions to the society.

      Poverty is a severe problem worldwide, and yet, still need to be solved. No matter which system you are living in (either capitalism or communism), you always see economy depression each year. That being said, the government tells the people to have faith in them, giving them more time to search for the solution and vote for them for another 4 years. The real problem is, they never find the solution to poverty, and there are more and more people waiting in the unemployment line.

      A famous French poet once said, "When the wind blows, we must find ways to survive." In fact, this was the same quote written in Miyazaki Hayao's 2014 movie "Wind Blows". Indeed, life always finds its way to survive. What we can to do solve "poverty issue" is to donate money to the charity which devotes themselves into assisting poor people. A little money it may be, but a massive encouragement to the whole society.
