Cortneeeh's Corner

Microblog following the trials and errors of a 20 year old college student.

Musician. Sociologist in the making. Writer. Bibliophile. Taoist. Chinese food enthusiast. Lover of philosophy. Takes her coffee black. Spends too much time in the library and is okay with that.

Welcome.

“We should give money where it will do the most good. There is no sound moral reason for favoring those who happen to live within the borders of our own country. Sometimes, just because they are closer to us and living within the same political system, they may be the people we can most effectively help. More often they will not be. If we live in a rich nation like the U.S.A., our money will go much further, and help more people, if we send it to an organization working in developing nations. About a sixth of the world’s population survives on the purchasing power equivalent of less than $US1 per day.”

Just something to think about…
