        Have you heard about Niger? Many peoples don’t know anything about that country.

It is the poorest country in the world.

Have you heard about the USA? All the people know about this big and rich country.

                   

                     “Over a billion people are hungry and, on the reverse side of the coin,

                  over a billion people in the world are now considered overweight or obese”.  
                                                  The prince of Wales.

         










      In the USA people die from overweight problems, everyday people in Niger die

because they don’t have anything to eat.That is a really important topic that many people need to 

know about, but not only to know but to change the way that we think and act.

How big is the different in the nutrition, economy and education between Niger and

the USA?  How big is the contrast between these two countries?

      Let’s talk first about the nutrition in these two countries.

First let's talk about Niger, generally poor health conditions and inadequate nutrition

for most of the country's. They do not have much access to hospitals or medicines;

which greatly affects their development.

    In contrast in the USA the people die from overweight problems due to their eating

disorder, their main meals are composed of fats and / or food with many pesticides.

These are the principals causes of their health problems.

      Niger's economic activity is mainly agriculture and animal husbandry, and also is

one of the world’s top uranium exporters, that is a very heavy metal which can be

used as an abundant source of concentrated energy.

Niger is has a very good economy, but it has a very poor population, this population

has the resources to excel and improve their conditions, the big problem is the bad

administration. It is truly amazing how this country with such good economy it’s one

of the poorest worldwide.

     But in America, people have another lucky because the main leaders are

interested in the development of their country.

According to Index Mundi, The US has the largest and most technologically powerful

economy in the world. This country has very good sources to get ahead, is the largest  

industrial producer in the world, and the largest trading nation in the world.

The USA is a great country that many years ago has remained at the top in the

economy, is an example for many countries and especially administrators.

     Education between the United States and Niger is totally different, for example in

Niger the education its really bad, because the most of the population don’t have

access to this. Studies show that a small portion of the population may have higher education, but

also too bad because there is a lot of infrastructure and trained personnel.

       On other hand the USA has more infrastructure, has more resources, in conclusion

has more an better access to education. Students have government financial aid which

helps a lot if you do not have the money because they can pay by installments.

Is one of the few countries that have these benefits for young people to continue their

studies, and get ahead and be professionals.

 

       Now that we know more about this country, what can we do to change this

situation? Of course, we can’t change the world in one day but we can make the

difference!! We need to stop to think only about us. We need to think of others.
