Poverty

Mahmud Ali Kabir, Ex-BSS correspondent, Gopalganj
According to BBC poll, poverty is still the world's biggest problem. In your "Star business”, the news was published on 18 January, and drew my attention. The result of the poll also revealed that the issue is well ahead of climate change, terrorism and war. It was found that 71 percent people named extreme poverty as the biggest global issue. Other issues like environmental pollution, the rising cost of food and energy, spread of diseases, climate change, state of the world economy and war, are the reasons behind poverty. These issues are much related to each other. As a matter of fact, the world is our place to live in, and we have got the responsibility to make it a better place.
