Poverty and politics

 

How can we live in a fare world?Isn't it difficult to answer?

During the last two months, we could see that our lives will never changer in our country. It was the elecetion process in Brazil. Everything repeated again. We watched the tv programms and the radios talking about how can politicians change things. They promissed a lot. Will they work hard to fulfill their promisses? They said that just them can solve our problems. Is is true? After four years, is the situation of our country be different?

We have been living in the democracy for almost 20 years. We have a chance to elect who we want. We elect people who we believe will give us better alternatives to live better. But what do the politicians really want? Are their interests the same of ours?

Probably not! They want just votes. They try to convice poor people to vote on them in order to give some help. After they are elected, the politicians don't look anymore for those poor people who they have made a lot of promisses. So our history neve changes. We elect politicians that we believe will help us and help our country. We trust that they will try at least to develop Brazil. After some years, we have the same results. They don't do what they are asked for. If we don't raise awareness to this problem, this story will never have a different end.

Dear Viviane:
I thought your president was better than ours...But the news are sometimes different from people sensation and feeling. You're living there. But you wouldn't live here, hahaha, not with our government.
Poverty is a problem all over the world. Only education can change this. Opportunities are for young prepared people.
I'm worried about that. I think that if we can't stop the growing poverty , this world will be lost. If poor people can't get a better life they're going to be victims of mafias that give them a shorter way out.
Violence and crime, won't stop and nobody could live in our countries

Hi Viviane,
What you say is totally true and here in Venezuela, where I am from, politicians have literally destroyed the country, not only because they promised something that tehy never gave, but because they have divided the country in halves: the ones who still believe in their promises after 10 years of having the SAME president and the ones who don´t anymore.
Let´s hope in the future there are really honest people who change our countries for the better.
Chhers,
Berta
