To break the cycle of poverty, our children need to be educated.Words of Bill Gates, since then he has donated large sums of money and build hundreds of schools in US to promote education. But lets be real we don't have some one like Bill Gates, the richest Tajiks are mainly drug lords. You all have beautiful ideas, but it's hard to get every one committed. I think we all have to start close to home. What I do is when I go back home or when my family go's back home I buy school supplies for all my relatives children and the neighbors children. To get kids interested in school we have to give them what they like, so what i do is buy colorful pencils, pens with stickers on, pencil cases with pictures. To be honest it doesn't even costs me much, every year for 200 kids, which 40 of them are my cousines i spend $300. I know it's not much, but imagine if every one of you would do the same for their relatives and neighbors children. By doing so if even 50 of those children became more interested in school, my goal was achived. Maybe we can't do big things for those children like build schools or buy books, but we can do basic things and start from there to get them 1st interested in school.It's just my idea!!!

Morality requires that we balance our own interest against the interest of others.Violence is not an answer to all solutions, it will only breed more violence.Since it is an ethical question, No it's not ok to use violence. Even if you are an ethical egoist (you only care about you'r own wants and needs) you still have to follow these 3 rules: 1.The duty not to harm others 2.The duty not to lie 3.The duty to keep our own promises TajMahal if you'r interested in ethics, heres an amazing book that I read. The Elements of Moral Philosophy By Stuart Rachels To answer you'r question, I don't know what we should do. But in past we used violence to get what we wanted and it worked for centuries. But today we are more evolved as human beings we should learn to find new ways to deal with major problems, that doesn't require destryoing each other.
