EWOT Googles #6 "Do we really care about poverty? (Unintended Consequences)" (10/16/2011)

Poverty!

One of the most using words in essays and on today's day to day conversation. Everyone talks about poverty and relates many things to it. Today while I was walking outside The Pit and I had a portion of my food left over. One of friends mention to me "Don't think about throwing it away since there is people dieng in Africa because of hunger". Now this is one of the hundreds of examples I can give you to demonstrate you how poverty is a very common topic in the 21st century.

This will make anybody think that the world is become more aware about his problem with the pass of time and that eventually one day this will end. Rizzo argue that in the past 40 years poverty has decreased substantially. So I few hours ago I was just seraching random stuff in the web and I saw something interesting. A innovator Italian came up with a new business call "Wally", which is a new line of the most luxurious and expensive yachts every design. Luca Basani, the founder, now makes millions of dollars designing yachts to extremely rich people around the world. "Wally Why", one of the biggest boats ever design by Luca and the company named Hermes. Now this design is called why since it reflects the question "Why would I buy this?". The price for this boat is unimaginable and still people will look for it. This example and many others demonstrate how there is people in these world that do not know how to spent their money. If you look up in Google "Funny ways to spent money" you will be surprise in how people spent their money.

So all this huge innovators came out of business schools where they where thought to be innovators and great business man. Schools and governments have promoted the innovation in order to create a new generation of business man. Their consequences might be to have a better economy of successful persons. However they do not see that they create innovators who will later become so rich and self-interested they will spent their money in ridiculous ways forgetting about trying to help. We want a new generation of business man and we end up with 10 new millionaries spending their money on themselves. The creations of a self-interested generation.
Now I leave this for comments. Do people really care about poverty? Unintended consequences.
