Our world is currently packed with around eight billion people. This population is increasing every single second, and the competition for resources and space is becoming more and more severe. The effect of this competition has consistently manifested itself throughout history and in the present in the form of war, inequality and discrimination.
In some parts of the world, people battle starvation and thirst each day, while in other parts, there are those who die from heart disease and other conditions relating to overnutrition. In some countries, children are fully refused the chance to practice their basic right to education. On the other hand, some children drop out of school and college regardless of the support they are offered. All of these facts indicate that there is an obvious disparity in the way resources are distributed. If this disparity is not corrected, our younger generation will face seriously exacerbated versions of the same problems that we face today.
