The Silent but Deadly Slums

Slums can be stopped if more people knew about them and what they cause. Slums are basically areas of land that are of land that are missing basic life needs and sanitations.Slums are unknown to many people all around world and that is the problem of why slums exist and little to nothing is being due to fight the cause. That is because people are not going to support a cause that they have no heard of and that is why people do not take a stand on the topic. Slums are over populated areas of land that face many challenges like poverty, poor to no santation, and are causing many urban challenges all over the world. Poverty is the first point that will be discussed in this paper and what toll poverty takes in slums.
Poverty in slums is very common and is a very serious issue in the slum lifestyle because it is a lot of people in just one area of land where people are earning even lower than the minimum pay sometimes even lower than one dollar. Although they earn very little money they are usually doing better than then where they had been before. Even with the little money they have a lot of people in slums survive because slum life is very inexpensive. “Slums life is cheap (inexpensive) with less than a dollar you can survive and in Kiberia is a good place to live if you need to earn that dollar a day.” This means that people in slums live their because they do not earn a lot of money and they have to survive with that little amount of money, so that is why they live their, so they can have money left over in order to survive. Then if you are earning under a dollar you can not really afford much, so you have live a very cheap lifestyle. Another challenge they endure is that of poor sanitations in the slums.
Slum life comes with very sanitation because of the many inadequate challenges they face with the water and food in the area. “Muddy swamps of plastic bags obstruct the entrance to the latrine. It is a collection of what is know in slums as vernacular as (flying toilets)-flimsy bags filled with human waste.” So if the entrance too many homes in slums in the entrance then how do they have the inside and back yards if they even have a backyard. Then if those plastic bags get in the water that goes through out the whole slums water and it gets the bags the whole water of the slum will go bad. So basically if that same water is being used by the inhabitants and it is being covered with urine and human defecate not only is the condition of the water poor an unsanitary, but also full of diseases. Then if the people are living in slums because of inexpensive lifestyle and there is diseases then they can probably are not going to be able to afford medication. The sanitation in slums is very poor as it has been explained in the pargraph.The last challenge that will be mentioned in this paper is that slums are spreading and causing urban challenges all over the world.
Slums are causing urban challenges not just in slums or nearby areas, but everywhere in the world. This problem is affecting many countries governments because they have, yet to find a solution of how to stop the spreading of slums.” Solutions to the problems caused by urbanization of the world’s population are certantiley needed. The of even-larger cities alarms many governments around the world.” The problem with slums is that people do not know about as mentioned before and they can not take a stand and help out the cause. This made slum life a global problem and it then started causing urban challenges at the origin of the slums and they kept spreading until finally it was a global problem. The good thing is more people are finding out about the slums and are now helping to stop the slums from spreading.
If more people get aware of what slums are and what they cause the slums will decrease because people will actually be taking a stand. The poverty, poor santations, and urban challenges are some of the factors that take place in slums worldwide. All of these factors that slums cause can be stopped if more people joined the cause and helped out. Because nobody wants the future to be full of slums instead of some of the beautiful locations that are know all over the world and nobody wants to be known as the generation that messed up for all the future generations.

Manuel Rodriguez History outline

OUTLINE STRUCTURE FOR WORLD GEOGRAPHY

　

　
Thesis Statement: SLUMS ARE OVER POPLUATED AREA’S THAT INCLUDE POVERTY, POOR SANATATION, AND IS CAUSING URBAN CHALLENGES All OVER THE WORLD.
　
1.) INTRODUCTION
A.) HOOK: SLUMS CAN BE STOPPED IF MORE PEOPLE KNEW ABOUT THEM.
B.)SLUMS ARE CROWED AREA’S THAT ARE MISSING BASIC LIFE NEED’S.
C.) SLUMS ARE OVER POPLUATED AREA’S THAT INCLUDE POVERTY, POOR SANATATION, AND IS CAUSING URBAN CHALLENGES All OVER THE WORLD.
2.) DEFENDABLE POINT # 1
A.) Poverty in slums is very serious because a lot of the people in slums live their because they earn very little to no money each day.
B.) “ Slum life is cheap (inexpensive) with less than a dollar you can survive and Kibera is a good place to live if you need to earn that dollar a day.” (source 2)
C.) this means that if you are earning less than a dollar you can’t really afford much , so you are probably living under poverty.
3.) DEFENDABLE POINT # 2
A.) Slum life comes with poor sanitation because of the many challenges they face with they’re water and land.
B-1.) “muddy swamp of plastic bags obstructs the entrance to the latrine. it’s a collection of what’s know in slums vernacular as (flying toilets) -flimsy bags filled with human waste.
B-2.) the water that goes through the slums and the water they use are the same one that is covered with mud and human waste.
C.) So basically if the water goes throughout the whole slum and is covered in urine and defecate then the condition of this water is unsanitary.
4.) Defendable point # 3
A.) Slums are causing urban challenges not just where there is slums, but everywhere in the world.
B-1.) “solutions to the problems caused by the urbanization of the world’s population are certainly need. The prospect of ever-larger cities alarms many government around the world.”
B-2.)The world needs solutions, so they can fix urbanization all around the world.
C.) That if we don’t start getting answers on the urbanization problems across the whole world there is going to be huge cities and around those huge cities slums all over the world.
5.) Conclusion
A.) If people get more aware on slums and what slums are causing the slums may decrease.
B.)SLUMS ARE OVER POPLUATED AREA’S THAT INCLUDE POVERTY, POOR SANATATION, AND IS CAUSING URBAN CHALLENGES.
D.) Do you really want future generations to be living under these circumstances knowing slums could have be stopped if only the word on slums was spread.
