Topic: Which problem will you choose to solve? - page 5. (Read 1373 times)

Money isn't a magic bullet for the rich; it's just a tool. But let's be honest: the rich do have better tools to deal with life's challenges. This is not an excuse; it's just a harsh fact of modern business. Your reasoning falls apart, though, when you say that the poor are useless and can't change their situation

Even though it's good to put money into development and rural areas, it's important to realize that traditional economic answers are becoming less useful in our increasingly digital world. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are making wealth more accessible to everyone, giving people more power, and putting ressure on standard financial institutions. Yes, there are differences, but cryptocurrencies offer a free way for the poor to deal with them

Choosing to help the rich with their problems? That's the old way of thinking. Accept the blockchain, level the playing field, and help us create a fair future. Even if it means taking down institutions that have been around for hundreds of years

Solving problems of poor BUT educated/capitalist/freedom loving people will always work. People underestimate how good poor people can achieve when they are not limited with their wealth. But obviously not lazy, uneducated labor. Education is a must. Financial knowledge is a must. I don't hate rich people but most of them are crony to be honest. They don't deserve more help in life, they always do good for themselves.

I think solving problem of the poor is what I want to choose. Knowing that most of the poor people doesn't have proper education and financial education at the first place. If their problems is connected in terms of surviving, it would be no brainer where rich people can survive easily with the vast amount of money they have. I know that rich people can give jobs to poor people but solving poor people problems carry more value for me because it somehow connected with their survival. We revolve on money or on things with value. Rich people has a lot of that but most poor people doesn't have. Without money, the struggle of surviving is an everyday routine.

If you already know the problem of the poor is money then you should choose to solve the problem of the rich first because the rich provide jobs and income for the poor. If the rich have problems, then obviously the problems of the poor are also very difficult to solve. For example, the economic crisis is causing many companies to go bankrupt and thereby causing unemployment. Whose problem is it? And to solve unemployment we need to do?

The rich and the poor have a close relationship with each other and we need to solve common problems to be able to completely solve the problem. You cannot solve the problems of the poor if you choose to ignore the rich.

Both the rich and the poor have problems but the rich have a lot of money with which they can easily solve the problem. The poor cannot do anything because of lack of money, which does lead to more extreme poverty. It is not possible to completely eliminate the problem of poverty but taking some necessary steps will cure it to some extent. Although it has set a global example of poverty eradication, it has not reduced the disparity between the rich and the poor. If poverty alleviation and social development are to be sustained, development activities in rural areas should be increased. Areas of investment should be created in developmental sectors. To reduce this disparity and sustain success in poverty alleviation, the budget must be formulated keeping in mind the extreme poor.

As a man the worse problem a can ever have is being broke, this is a problem that can run someone mental health and do things that was never planned to be done. Solving the problem of poverty is the biggest problem you can take from the life of man, u think this is the most important thing everyone want. Most of the problem of the rich man can be solve with money, but all the problems of the poor man ties down to money.

 If a rich man is having health problems, money can solve the basic things of the  challenge but if the poor man is having a problem pertaining to health if their is no money it can lead to death.  Helping the poor man to solve his challenge is the best thing to do to humanity.

That is indeed true, you may be able to choose who you want to help, but it will depend on your capabilities. No matter how much your drive is to help the people around you, none of it will matter if you do not have the capacity to actually give help. It will just be a thought that will not actually apply any changes to them. And I also agree with you on your other point, rich or poor status does not matter if they are not willing to help themselves, because even if you get them out of their bad situation or solve their problems, chances are they will find themselves back to that point after awhile because they will not learn, they will also end up relying on you and on others to get them out of any bad stuff they are in again.

Everyone always has very diverse problems in their life, no matter whether the person is rich or poor. Because as long as we are still living in this world, problems will still exist and the task is to find super wise solutions in order to solve them quite precisely. And if you mention about the problems of rich people in the romance section, I think not all rich people in this world experience that because love problems are very personal problems for everyone. So the solution will also be very different, while for health problems I think rich people can also solve it themselves because that person has a lot of money to handle it quite well.

Actually, none of the problems are easy to solve, even though every problem has a solution to be solved. But in terms of solving problems, we must also see solutions that are wiser than solutions that only solve the problem for only a moment. For example, the problem with poor people is that basically they always lack money. However, the wisest solution is to give them a job that can earn money every day so that they can be a little free from the problems they often face in their lives. Not by directly giving them money in cash because when the money we give runs out, they will definitely become poor again in their lives.

On my end  I'd also choose to solve my problems first. Quite out of the context but how will I be able to help others if I cannot help myself?As much as I wanted to side with one of the options, I agree that it does depend. Whether you are rich or poor  your problems are valid thus you shall be helped. But with prioritizing which is which, then that will indeed depend on the situation. Think of this analogy; a rich man being robbed and a poor man asking for a dime. Answer is obvious right? Also  it depends on the type of individual you are. Bottomline here is  no matter who you help, choose depending on your capabilities as well. Also, we cannot help people if they are the ones who aren't even trying to help themselves.

But if this is will be views with practicality, problems of the poor are undending and that won't be limited to money alone. There'll be others such as education and such. On the other hand, if you choose to help the rich ones, they may or might not help the poor ones.

Well actually humans do have the same degree. Be it a rich person or a poor person. Everything must be respected properly. And all must be helped when they ask for help or need help. But sometimes in life there are always multiple choices where we cannot choose both. Because sometimes we can only choose one. And this is where our minds are tested. As in the case raised in this topic. Helping the problems of the poor or helping the problems of the rich. Both have differences as well as similarities. It's just that we have to prioritize one of them in certain situations. So the answer will indeed vary depending on our ability to provide assistance. for example if we are rich people. Then we can provide assistance to the poor by providing job vacancies and providing decent wages. And poor people can also help rich people by working for rich people and lightening the work that rich people cannot do.

I would choose to solve the problem of the poor rather than the rich because I would take it as a personal sacrifice to help the poor having knew their own problems would be far more than the problems of the rich, once the problems of the poor is solved the problems of the rich would lessen this is a known fact if the poor is hungry the rich would not no peace, take care of the poor the rich would have a rest of mind, empower the poor the society would record less crime rate invariably their purchasing power would increase because the major problem of the poor is lack of enough money or financial wherewithal to cater for their daily basic needs.

I would choose to solve problems of the poor. Cause majority of the problems that the poor have, can mostly be solved by money. And as for the rich problem, it could differ in a lot of things since their problems cannot be solved by money. It could be about love, health and such. But choosing solving the poor's problems doesn't mean a short term solution cause if the "solution" we're talking about is by giving them money or what, they will still end up having the same problem after a period of time when they run out of money.

But tbh, solving the poor people's problem would be so hard to do, cause if it's just as easy as answering this question, there could be lesser problems.

This is true, why cater to only the rich when you can cater to both parties and earn more? In businesses, especially if your goal is to get as much profit as you can, then it is simply better to just sell as much as you can to either rich or poor clients/customers. This is absolutely good advice for businesses that are just starting as you want to attract more customers/clients, and being picky with whom you will sell your product/service will not help your case. You want to be known out there, especially since you will have competitors that are trying to attract the same target clients/customers you have, therefore widen your scope and you will also expand the possibility of profit.

To be honest with you, serving poor people will make you richer than serving rich people as long as you are making money from the service you are providing or offering, like I said in my previous comment, poor people are always eager and ready to spend more money to have their problems solved than rich people.

Using the same car you mentioned as an example, a car dealer who specialises in selling only expensive cars that only Rich men can afford, might end up selling just two or three cars in a whole month because there are also other car dealers out there,  he's not the only one doing the business, but the car dealer who specialises in selling both cheap and expensive cars,  might end up selling 20 cheap cars in a month and two or three expensive cars in the same month , at the end of the day, if we calculate the profit of this two car dealers, we will discover that the car dealer who specialises in selling both expensive and cheap cars made more profit than the one that only sells expensive cars..

Like I mentioned before, as a business or as a person, nothing stops one from serving both the rich and the poor, I think it all depends on where you live, if you live in an area where only rich men stay, then you can serve only Rich men, but if you live in an area where both rich men and poor men are staying, nothing stops you from serving both.

Both are good, but just to add on rich, it is only small people that kind of purchase or avail your product, but it is one time, big time. Just imagine those luxurious cars, watches, and many more that only rich people can afford, but still they are earning a big profit as long as it has a name on it. On the poor side, it takes time to accumulate that money, but still they will purchase from you. What's good about serving poor people is that you can help them, and that makes you fulfilled as you are doing business while helping them.

I wasn't aware that the rich have so many problems at the moment that's why I would rather be focusing on the poor people. Poorer people are always struggling and there will be new chances every year to provide helpful service. The only issue is that there isn't a lot of money to be made from the customers. The path to success here is to provide services to a large group of people to become profitable. When focusing on the rich people it's the exact opposite, there will only be a small number of clients. Another issue is how are you going to reach your customers. Social media is great to reach poorer people and attract them to your services, but not the rich and wealthy people. I think that to build up a customer base of high net worth individuals you need to have a big network. Best to focus on the area where you already have connections today and don't have to start from scratch.

Agreed, because when talking about the poor for example when they are given as much money as possible but without being equipped with knowledge and opportunities it will only be used up and they are still the same in terms of life, although not all will be like that but most will definitely be like what I said.
Sometimes it is better to give them access to opportunities such as decent jobs or business development opportunities while getting guidance. It doesn't mean that we can't give money but when we give money, it will only be a temporary help in their lives and by doing something like this they will continue to be passive and wait for others to do the same by giving money so that they can survive in life.

What comes to my mind after reading this is that most problems of the poor could be solved by the rich. If the rich started solving poor people's problems, maybe one of those poor people would be able to return the favor. It happens that the poor are often smart, they have able bodies, they can work their way up, but they weren't given the opportunity, weren't raised in a proper way.

Money doesn't solve the problems of the world but it certainly helps in putting things on the right track.

The problems of the rich are mostly on how to loan them some money, grow and expand their business, or pay some accumulated debts. But as for the poor, their problem is how to feed and train their children.  I'm using this kind of example because of what I've overheard rich and poor people talking about when they share their problems with me.

If I am in a position to assist both, I will focus on solving the issue facing the poor rather than the rich. I'm doing that because the rich are already successful in life, and they want to grow more of their business, while the poor struggle to make ends meet and advance in life. which can put their family's health at risk and hinder the fulfillment of their future dreams

I would prefer not to solve the problems of people based on their fiat wealth. For example a priest doesn’t classify people via their wealth, he will help people regardless of their wealth. I think it’s time we, as a society, stopped using money as a status symbol. We all bleed red, no matter how much money we have.
