Our world




Our planet is a big place with so many people, different languages and cultures. It's impossible to tell how many people there's alive in the world; babies around the world are born every second and people dies every second. It's shocking and you can see it with your own eyes in this link http://www.worldometers.info . Right now there is 7,215,014,980 people in this world. Well, not anymore. This link shows real time world stadistics about basically everything. You cannot even copy and paste a number because it changes in less than a second. 

But not every person in this Earth has a proper life. The U.S. is not the same as China, the United Kingdom is not the same as South-America and Australia is not the same as Africa. Some countries are more developed than others and with a huge difference. In places like the U.S, Canada, Europe, Australia and some parts of Asia there's a better life. There, people have houses with electricity, water and light. They can buy food and clothes and live more or less good. Obviously that is not for everyone and with the crisis everytime the number of people living like this is getting little. I just hope politicians do their job well and all of this gets better soon.
In other countries like South-America, Africa and some parts of Asia it's not the same. But this can be showed even more in Africa. There, is very hot and it's desert. There is not so many rich people and they live super good while most of the population is poor. People starves and need water to survive. For the moment, today about 19,733 people have died of hunger in the world and this number grows one number approximately after 3 seconds.Probably most of them live in Africa. That's why many africans are these past days trying to go to Spain, to find a better life yet they are doing it illegally. People need to move to other countries to live better.


I think it's impossible to go to any country, city or town and not see someone that is not from there. I mean, someone who their family and surname is from another country even if they are living in that country for years. People is constantly moving from one town to another, from one city to another or to one country to another. Some of them do it to change, to try new things or because any other random reason. But a lot of them do it because they can't keep living in the way they do in their country because the situation is horrible; they need a work and need to collect money to give a proper life to their family. These people is most of the time from poor countries and they live poorly in the country they go too, but at least they live. They normally work with the worst jobs native people don't want to work of. For example, cleaning the streets or being the cleaning lady. Even though these things are changing lately.


London is a cosmopolitan capital where they respect cultures and as I got told, you can see so many people from different countries. There are many cities like this which actually is great.


The world is quite unfair for some people and I think it's not a very comfortable thought thinking that while I'm writing this and you are reading this and being in the year we are now, 2014, the world is still in these conditions and we can't do a lot to change it. No one is better than the other, no country is more worth than another and people shouldn't be dying because of hunger and thirst.
