United Nations' Blueprint to End Poverty: Achieving Sustainable Development Goal #1

  Sustainable Development Goal #1 End Poverty Did you know we have just six years left to achieve the sustainable development goals? In 2015, 193 United Nations member states committed to addressing 17 goals for a sustainable future, with the top priority being the eradication of poverty. Since then, what progress have these countries made in combating poverty? While ending poverty sounds promising, is it truly feasible? Let’s explore this further. Recent statistics show that around 9.2% of the global population, or approximately 700 million people, live in extreme poverty, defined as surviving on less than $1.90 per day. Additionally, about 26% of the global population, or roughly 1.3 billion people, live in moderate poverty, which is defined as living on $1.90 to $3.20 per day.

Uncle Tom: From Compliment to Insult - Why

Uncle Tom "Uncle Tom" is a derogatory term used by Black Americans to describe someone who is overeager to win the approval of Whites. Surprisingly, 150 years ago, it was a compliment to be called Uncle Tom.  Uncle Tom originated as a fictional hero from the novel "Uncle Tom Cabnet", written by Harriet Beecher Stowe.  When the book was released in March 1852, it was an immediate sensation. In the US alone it sold 300,000 copies in a year, and more than 2m copies by the end of the decade. The character "Uncle Tom" was passive, not out of stupidity and he definitely wasn't joyful of his position, but was passive due to his religious values, which requires him to love everyone and selflessly endure his trials.
