Questions&Subjects

Research Question: Why global poverty is being issue around the world? What efforts did international organizations put on to prevent global poverty and what is limitation of their efforts?

Thesis Statement: Many international relief organizations like the United Nations and the Red Cross confront this serious issue around the world. The United Nations has many programs focusing on reducing poverty around the world. For example, World Food Programme helped many poor countries’ children by sending aid to those countries. However, the limitation as an international organization, such as lack of sufficient funds and corruption disturb these activities.

Audience: Students & scholars who interested in global issues especially global poverty, employees of international organizations who working on that global poverty issues.

Purpose: to explain status of poverty around the world & analyze global organizations actions toward that issue.

In my opinion, people doesn't really know much about why they didn't get to learn about global poverty in depth at school. The fact that school doesn't touch global poverty issue for their subjects of school material because it is brutal reality and facts to know and this subject somehow consider as taboo.

Why does school doesn't go over global poverty issue that enlighten students view of the world?
What other global issues that related to global poverty?

I already have an source for first question but I need to find an article about global issues that related with global poverty.
I need the general information that global poverty and other global issues are related to one another.
The websites that discuss about global issues.

How to "meaningfully incorporate" slideshow and podcast? Can you give me an example?
Is that mean like hyperlink the certain word that direct to my podcast and slideshow?
Is it possible to use the picture to incorporate slideshow and podcast?

Also, If my recommended reading is a book, Did I have to provide a link about that? What should I do?
Did I have to consider the length of description for recommended reading? Did I have to make it longer?

If I paraphrase the overview of some topic, Is it consider as sources? For example,

http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/international/countriesandterritories/pakistan/northwest-pakistan/swat_valley/index.html?scp=1-spot&sq=swat%20valley&st=cse

Do you think this is relevant sources to use?

  1. I don't know why global poverty isn't a topic of more discussion in schools. That said, there are many topics that should be discussed in schools, and they're not.

    I think adding what other global issues lead to global poverty is a good idea, as well as how global poverty negatively impacts developed economies (if it does..does it?).

    Yes, that's exactly what I mean by a meaningful link -- just like you created the hyperlinks in your Webtext.

    Hmmm... I'm pretty sure it's possible to use a photo to incorporate the slideshow and podcast. I'll have to check that out (although you'll probably figure it out before I do!!) =D

    No, you don't need to provide a link if your recommended reading is a book. Just give the title, author, and a summary of the book.

    Yes, those sources are fine to use! =)
