- Rhome Balmeo - Metro Manila How do we lessen the gap between
the rich and the poor? Economic and social disparity is quite
apparent in third world countries such as the Philippines. We
hear that education is the key to a better future and may
perhaps shorten that gap between the rich and the poor. We see
however, men and women who are school drop outs but became
completely successful in business and other lucrative fields.
Thus, aside from education, what is there that can contribute to
the alleviation of poverty? Is there anything cultural,
psychological, philosophical or whatever factor that makes the
rich become richer, and the poor become poorer? How do we lessen
this gap between the rich and the poor?
