Topic: Helping others could help to improve our country's economy - page 3. (Read 543 times)

Africans have the word for it "UBUNTU". Its what we need.

But our IDENTITY prevents helping each other that instead of providing assistance we sanction each other. Or if help comes, they also ask something bigger in return. Just look at Asian hate crime rate today. When identity affects how we treat each other, it may really create trouble instead. 

Too utopian a topic. It is relevant, not only in our time. Kind hearts always help, and assistance to the lower strata of the population should be at the level of the government. But what do we see in reality? During a crisis, there are always those who get richer; these are, of course, rich people, and the poor get poorer. 
Watching the news, I do not see any attempts to help people who are in need; today, the world has become very evil. Of course, helping one person can make him happier, but today poverty is a global problem. And talking about small steps to help in this forum won't really change anything.

I think the different humanitarian foundations, the NGO'S really need to take this up as a big challenge to try and help the needy on their environment. Wars also have not helped matter because displaced people have much need for help. The war in Ukraine is a wake up call for EU countries to do more in accomodating the displaced. Poverty is on the increase and the low class are affected .

You cannot help them for just simply giving money or basic things they need, you are introducing them to became lazy and just depends from free goods that they can receive from other people.



Ideal thing to do because for this they can learn how to fish on their own to feed their family so if you know something beneficial which can help other people go with it and for sure it can help a lot to them.


Not everyone is open for other people, scan those people who truly work hard for betterment of their family since for sure they are the one who will listen from anything which possibly give them benefits.

Whenever there is a topic about this case and people are discussing how to help other people they start talking about how to give free food, clothes, or money to their people when the topic is brought up. In my opinion, this is not a good thing to do because even if you gave them free food and clothes for years, they would still need these things afterward, I would prefer to assist other people living in my country by teaching them about the economy and how to invest and a new technology that can be used to earn money. As a result, they will not need my help anymore in the future and will be able to meet all their needs independently.

Kindness to all is always appreciated. A problem I used to recognize in society when things became more and more morally degenerate, leading to everyone suffering in this life. Sometimes it's not their fault and it's still shared. I understand the problem of karma, but maybe changing things for the better at this time will be very difficult. Raising awareness for all is like having everyone work together towards the same thing, but if it's not appealing enough to all, it's unlikely to happen. As I know, so far, the period of human development has always been clearly divided, but today's stronger connection, the spread of the message, is a new problem. We all unite and love each other more. Not only between humans and humans, but all species need harmony. I know of a friend who left his homeland with a happy life to come to provide support and economic development for some poor indigenous areas of Africa. So I think let's love each other and be willing to help and share with all. Equality and not losing against each other will take us through all difficulties.

It's quite true. Some people tend to appreciate when you teach them to fish rather than giving them the fish because in that way you have helped solve a problem of dependency and poverty.
 
 It's like a case of the talents in biblical times. One who was given 5 talents, let me use trade instead to help push my point home, went ahead to grow it, and surely, when you grow a business, you employ labour, ( which would be majorly the poor masses), it would solve a big problem.

It is clear that rich people, who have high incomes and investments, are better off in times of inflation and crisis than poor people, who tend to depend on a single, low income.


On this I agree with you. And I would go further. Rather than giving them food, the ideal would be to teach them to be able to obtain a higher income or additional sources of income. It's the classic: 'don't give them a fish, teach them to fish'.

My only problem about trying to help people through direct money donation is the fact money can be easily mishandled.
It has happened to me before when I was in collegue, I had a companion who was going through a very hard time, I naturally helped him out by sharing my meals with him and giving him some money but in the end I realized he was bad at managing it and wasted most of it.
That experience I had made me to prefer to donate food to the people in need instead of money, if it is cooked food even better.

You should take a look at the so called "beggars Mafia" from India, quite a good example of how money is mishandled while one believes one is helping.
Not sure of accurate the allegations are, though.

If only this kind of attitude runs in our DNA, there'd be much less poverty and probably no person would die out of hunger or thirst or lack of shelter. Unfortunately, this isn't the case. Yes, people help each other to a certain extent, but only when it's convenient to help.

It may not really improve the economy, but it somehow eases the burden of the country.

Near my place is a government agency which provides small assistance to the poor who are unable to pay for their hospital bills, burial fees, medicine, and so on. They will only receive a few tens of dollars after complying various requirements and falling in line for hours. Some have even travelled from afar only for this. And sometimes their requests even end up rejected. I guess the queue would be significantly shortened if sharing is something innate in us.

Caring for others is a noble act. sharing and helping each other can create harmonization in building good cooperation in the future. make everyone work hand in hand to support each other in improving the quality of life of each individual. because actually everyone will need each other. Rich people need the services of workers from people who need jobs. and the poor need a helping hand from the rich as in the form of job vacancies. and mutual help is needed so that there is no conflict between them.

if rich people don't care about people who are in need and need help then there will not be a good relationship in it and this is the reason and trigger for the increasing rate of crimes such as theft and robbery. because this is the impact of the lack of good relations between the rich and the poor. if the crime rate in an area increases. then it will affect the economic sector there. such as property prices will decline. because a good and healthy and harmonious environment also has an effect on increasing the selling value of a property such as housing and the like.

As the whole world is facing a serious economic difficulties. There is surging inflation in almost all part of the world.
Unemployment rate keep increasing in some part of the world as businesses are collapsing. This tend to increase the level of poverty around the world. During this period, for middle and upper classes, commodity price increases might sting a little. But this seriously affect the poor as they struggle between

👉👉feeding their families and medicines.
👉👉having a roof over their heads or food in their bellies.
👉👉Paying school fee or learning a handwork.

During rising inflation, more poor will be pushed into more worse situations. Although everyone is being affected by inflation but some are more affected. Helping the most affected ones (the poor) can help to save their life, our country and the whole world.

Conclusion
Let's all try our best to help someone during this rising inflation. Bringing someone out of poverty may serve the chance of him/her helping another thousands of people. This can thereby help indirectly to eradicate poverty to certain level within the society. Helping someone may come in the following ways:

👉👉By giving money, foods, clothes etc.
👉👉Teaching them what to do to earn little more money.
👉👉By giving reasonable advice.
👉👉By creating more jobs....and many more.

Let's all join hand together for the growth of our country and for the betterment of the world.
