As one looks around the world, one can see the many problems that lie around in the world. One problem that still lies around in the world is genocide. Genocide has been around for as long as one could trace back. Germany and Rwanda are one of the many countries that have had cases of genocide. In Germany, there had been the Holocaust, and in Rwanda, there had been a rivalry between two tribes. Like genocide, another major problem that still can be seen in the world is poverty. Currently, Algeria is one of many countries that deal with poverty because of its recent independence movement from France. In the rural areas, one can see a solution to this problem is to forge alliances with many rich countries so that constant trade can provide Algeria resources and money.
Algeria had broken its chains from France in the year 1962 (Jones 11). Since its independence movement, there has been internal conflict, which also refers to how poverty deepened and the unemployment occurring in the rural areas of Algeria. (“Rural Poverty in…” 4). Throughout the years, Algeria slowly developed a state of poverty. Causes of poverty in Algeria is the recent independence movement from France, the constant drought, and lack of income (Jones 11; “Rural Poverty in…” 4).
Since its independence movement, Algeria had been trying to address the problem publicly by sending Mourad Medelci to Britain in 2012. Mourad Medelci was the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Currently, he is not in office due to old age, but he had worked to help bring Algeria out of poverty (“Algerian FM Visits UK” 1; “Mourad Medelci on…” 1). Medelci visited the British parliament, opening an address concerning internal conflicts in Algeria (“Mourad Medelci on…” 1). Other sources also say ...

    Algerian education was started by the French, since they were allowed to study in France. Education advanced Algerian jobs, markets, trade, and life in general. This boosted the life of Algerians; although, there were negatives, like: famine, disease, poverty. Even though the education boosted trade, and jobs, and market the people who were receiving that money were the French. Algerians did not receive that money, so they became poor, and because of the poverty not a lot of people could afford food which led to famine. Disease quickly arrived after famine, causing death, which took out roughly one third of the Algerian population. Imperialization impacted Algerians government, culture, and even population. Although Algeria did suffer greatly because of the french, they also had some positive effects.

    Due in part to its tumultuous past, sub-Saharan Africa is a region of the world that is stricken with war, famine, and poverty. Many people in richer parts of the world, including North America and Europe, view helping the people who inhabit this part of the world as their duty and obligation. Both non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and governmental organizations such as the United Nations (UN) alike send humanitarian aid to sub-Saharan Africa. While this aid helps countless individuals and their families, humanitarian aid in sub-Saharan Africa fuels further conflict and enables violent groups, undermining the goals of the aid itself.

    ...en have lived in poverty in 1997- more than in any year since 1966 to 1990” (Sherman and Sandfort). This article focuses on the importance of ending poverty on all levels. To be able to do this, it would take the cooperation of people from every level of the system. Government policies would need to be made or stepped up to represent the people and give back what they constantly take away. Each state can take similar steps to reassure persons in their own regions they will be well taken care of. However, the last level is where the average person can begin to get involved-your own community. Each community involves a number of people who are responsible for studying and documenting data concerning poverty which provides assistance to different leaders in the community and will enable leaders in the community to reach out to more people that are affected by poverty.

    This past election brought a wave of tension across Algeria due to the fact that there were high numbers of “voting” in favor of Bouteflika, but opposing political parties show evidence of the voting system being rigged in favor of Bouteflika winning another presidential term. Another policy that the government has promised to bring the country to a more consolidated form of government was the changes made in the new constitution, but rather “the new constitution will not fundamentally alter the balance of power” like they had promised to do. Without a change of the balance of power, Algeria will remain the same making no strides to improvements of their economy. This issue plays hand in hand with another issue that is on the rise due to Algeria not making serious strides to changing the polices that they have promised, The president still remains extremely powerful and still concentrates all the power in his hands. This does not balance out the power like seen in a democracy using the United States as an

    Several contributing factors can be viewed as reasons for crime. Depending on the circumstances, it can sometimes be very difficult to resist the temptation to commit a crime. It is even harder when you are coming from a place where crime is considered to be a normal part of society and looked at as a way of daily living that is supposed to be incorporated into daily lifestyles, hence the city we are not too far from: Fresno. In fact, by having a city or group of cities nearby where violence, crime, and gangs are abundant, it has given me an incentive to dig deeper into this issue. Now the question can be posed: What is the significance of crime in areas where poverty is present? True, this is not an easy question to answer considering that crime happens for many different reasons and sometimes location is not the problem. The origin of crime date back to the beginning of man, and the thing is it will never be stopped, as it is almost a part of human nature nowadays. But for now, we must study how crime and poverty are linked to one another, and what other contributing factors influence the effect of crime where poverty is relevant.
