Valentine’s Day and Poverty
An irony that at the moment Indonesia is a country rich because the womb of natural resources potential, but with the other millions of people still bermesraan with poverty. In general, the poverty of nations is not a natural condition such as scarcity of natural resources, war, or the other. However, more factors are caused by policy / structural alignment that has not been able to complete the issue of poverty and the strategic and fundamental.
Because the fundamental problem of poverty in Indonesia is the policy so that play an important role to make changes to the way the government is better at both the executive and legislative institutions so that the expected birth of pro poor policies. Besides, there are certainly issues on which people escape from poverty is experienced. The birth of culture of poverty and disease caused the other community’s quality and quantity of increased poverty.
Data from the central statistics bureau (BPS) poverty in Indonesia in 2008 this increased to 41 million from the previous year of 37 million. As citizens of all nations should be concerned and immediately stop the behavior that is not useful and the focus shifted, and in tackling poverty. Poverty is a problem that must be treated seriously, because the nation of poverty to make Indonesia into a nation that is weak.
Some residents still have to celebrate this Valentine with party, spree, dst should stop immediately. Immediately convert the activities of such a positive activity to help tackle the issue of poverty experienced by our brethren. Charity or Empowerment Program can help you select for the poor.
Imply a narrow affection is only to a person, become the universal love is a noble act of God before. Providing the opportunity for the poor to be able to enjoy life can come from the simplicity with which you are able. (Sha 5 w).
