Social Welfare and Global Challenges

This semester I am taking a total of five class, one of which is Social Welfare and Global Challenges. As of right now, we are learning about the global sufferings of a variety of places due to the climate change. We spoke of Bangladesh last class, the community there is suffering tremendously. People there have to constantly move because of the flooding. The community leader said when it floods, there is simply nothing they can do but move because it is a completely flat land, there is no mountain to climb. While it floods, they also lose land. It is extremely unfortunate.

I had goosebumps watching the clip, the community leader said something in the lines of,  "Imagine putting all your funds knowing you do not have much, imagine putting everything you have into something, a house or a good and it gets destroyed by the flooding.. Imagine starting over again." Sometimes I fear starting over, I fear failure. However these people, not by choice, are going through this, starting over.. Not exactly failing because it's mother nature doing her part, it's something uncontrollable. Children are growing up in this setting, this environment. Although the government is trying to figure out ways to help with education and power there, their lives are affected. While I, sit here and type this blog on my very own laptop, living comfortably, those my age are fishing dangerously, risking their lives, going about their every day lives thinking that living that lifestyle is completely normal.
