Bill Gates is now the third richest person in the world. Bill Gates, along with the rest of the top ten richest people in the world, each make more than some of the third-world countries of today. There are solutions trying to be created, but it is not good when one person can be worth more than a whole country's economy. It is hard when a country is fighting with everything they have to stay a country, while one single person is making more than all of the money they have. The top ten percent of  wealthiest people control about eighty percent of the wealth in the whole world.  Bill Gates-Jane Krakowski
The one thing that makes the United States of America such a successful country is that there is so much diversity and freedom from sea to shining sea. America is made up of such wonderful things. We have a strong military, a lot of wealth, and a stable government. With those three main traits, we should use our strengths to help others and not just ourselves. It cannot be something done overnight because our society is not used to it. Many people would not agree to help because it does not affect them directly. However, if just one person starts to help, it can lead to a million. Then, some of the third-world countries in this world can really experience life. America the Beautiful-Ray Charles
Lyrics
America is the land of the free and home of the brave. America is made up of people from all over the world. America is the land of opportunities and everyone should get to experience that. More and more celebrities are starting to have charities and this trend should keep continuing. We fought to get our country the way it is today, and we should be able to help countries in need all around the world. Star Spangled Banner-Mariah Carey

Companies are all around the world. However, right now there are 47 countries and 53 companies that have bigger economic wealth than many of the third-world countries. Optimum and many other companies are all over the world. It can be used to call internationally. We, as a country, should make the effort to keep in better contact with some of the third-world countries. Disease and many other problems are surrounding these countries, but they do not have the resources to keep themselves healthy. The United States, along with many other countries, have been making an effort to help out third-world countries all around the world to keep out diseases and other problems from their countries.

AIDS is an epidemic that affects people all around today's world. Although there is no cure for AIDS, there is medicine that you can take to prolong your life. In third-world countries, many people do not have the opportunity to experience these medicines. Through globalization, people have started to realize that AIDS is a big problem, and it needs to be controlled. More and more countries that have these medicines, such as the United States, set up events to raise money for either research to find a cure, or to donate to third-world countries so they can afford some of the medicine that is available. Only the most advanced technology can find a cure for AIDS, and hopefully that will be soon. The AIDS Song-Family Guy
