ASHFORD ABS 200 Week 5 DQ 1 Global Issues
Whether by natural disaster or economic issues, poverty remains an issue in other countries such as Haiti. Watch The Aid Dilemma video and discuss whether you think that our efforts, though well intentioned, are doing what we intend. What are the pros and cons to the way we give aid, or apply behavioral science principles to such countries as Haiti? In 250 – 300 words, discuss the statement: “Global problems are everyone’s problems.” Support your discussion with a minimum of one scholarly reference and respond to a minimum of two of your classmates.
In the video, Haiti: The Aid Dilemma, Haiti’s issues with getting enough rice to feed the people of the country, and support local businesses was discussed. We were introduced to Melissa, a mini-wholesaler who spoke of the hardships of making a living selling rice since the 2010 earthquake. Melissa sold rice for a profit before the earthquake, but she can no longer get rice because she can not afford to buy it. She has lost her customers who used to come to her to buy rice, spaghetti, and milk, but her efforts to buy more rice are unsuccessful because the large wholesalers she would by from either do not have enough, or are charging too much for the Haitian staple.
