A few days ago, I had to write a paper about the gap between haves and have-nots. I looked up some pictures about the topic. The first picture I saw was this. It is Sanpaulo, Brazil. There is a luxurious apartment, a tennis court and a big swimming pool. The other side is poor village. The houses are almost collapsing down. Moreover, the swimming pool is even larger than the five or six shacks.
Why did the photographer pictured this image? In my opinion, the photographer wanted to tell what is happening in the developing third countries. As many third countries develop very rapidly, rich people get richier and poor people get poorer, and this is a serious social problem in such countries now. In Shanghai, the city where I live, has many such places all around the city. The government just kick resisdents in such poor places out of their house and keep developing and constructing skyscrappers. It seems like this problem would not be solved soon, because most of the third countries are solely focusing on development.
