Eradication of poverty is One of the millennium goals of UN .poverty is the absence of purchasing power of any human being on earth. Empowering people to purchase, needs a global change in our attitude towards wealth, the minimal absence of which makes a human being poor in the eyes of others.
Wealth is both public and private. Both can only be acquired either by
transfer,education,employment or[business] enterprise.Due to fragmentation of society brought in by industrialization and population growth,even democratic republics are failing to discharge their vicarious responsibility of empowering people to acquire the said properties.consumerism,to a large extent has turned the private in to a domain of greed and destruction resulting in the present global economic recession where in an ordinary person, not empowered, is made to share Or pay a debt which he has not incurred.
Technology has empowered both the private and public to achieve any thing,but the cost is unaffordable. we have food by green revolution,it cant reach the needy. we have 70% of water on earth, but we cannot provide potable water. Health care is updated and available. But only a few can afford to buy it. the millons and millions are left in unhygienic conditions. the lack of self control and social morality has lead the non- empowered and the not-so ALSO to become preys of communicable diseases.
At the root of all this is the continental instinct of conquering all others territory by inequitable means. Growth can be vertical and virtual, it need not be horizontal and real[local].true democratization as a global concept backed by the universal declaration of human rights has lead to the concept of ALL-FOR-ALL.THIS IS WELL REFLECTED IN THE the millennium development goals like education for all ,health for all ,environment for all, but these are being forced upon all by way of
summits[eg,copnhgen summit on global warming].many wheeler dealers are trying to sneak in their hidden agendas too. But we all know very well that this sort of continental
—power- brokering can harmful to futuristic human welfare. I WISH TO TAKE UP A PROJECT IN THE US AS A CITIZEN OF INDIA TO MAKE THE WORLD LEADERS TO TAKE UP THIS GOAL AS THE DECADE GOAL OF ALL THE CONTINENTS.
