It is believed by some that helping

poor nations has more detrimental effects than benefits. I believe that
while
there are a few negatives of helping

impoverished nations, the advantages are far more.
Admittedly, a major negative effect is that poor

could become

may be clothes and food but the

may be in the form of making a bridge or something like that which people may not need.
Finally
, the rich
countries
may have their own selfish motives behind giving
aid
.
For instance
, they may provide employment but they may be underpaying and exploiting the poor.
However
, the advantages of the rich
countries
helping the poor are manifold.
To begin
with, nowadays we belong to a global village and all
countries
are so interconnected that all problems that arise because of poverty – crime, terrorism and diseases will directly or indirectly affect the rich
countries
. It is a well-known fact that terrorists can infiltrate

rich
countries
and cause violence and crime there.
Moreover
, if poor
countries
suffer diseases
then
these diseases can spread to the neighbouring rich
countries
. So, it can be said that it is a necessity for the rich to save the poor in order to save themselves. It has been well said by John F Kennedy that “if a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich”.
Furthermore
, there are many problems which the world is facing today,
such
as global warming, which can be solved by joint efforts of all
countries
.
Such
joint efforts can only be possible if the gap between the rich and poor is narrowed.
This
can only be achieved if the haves help the have-nots.
Finally
, the rich
countries
also
have a moral duty to help the poor. They should help them on humanitarian grounds.
To conclude
, I reiterate by saying that the rich must help the poor.
However

first as to what sort of help is most needed. Help can be provided in the form of food, medicine and education.
