Helping and contributing to the fight for equity is essential to humanity. There are billions of great minds in the world. A lot of them are not seen due to skin color, poverty, and gender. Addressing social barriers and giving support to these people is extremely important. This is because if they are overlooked this is only not unfair in human rights but can cost us dearly. The more people who can contribute to small businesses and big businesses stimulate the economy. This stimulation also includes more people being able to work. When more people can work they can provide for the families. They can have more of an advantage of dealing with poverty. Them finding affordable housing is a start to them getting a grasp on their lives. It is a gateway that opens the doors to potential employment and mental stability. With these, they can go on to continue education and also provide housing for their children. We all deserve a chance to live our lives with freedom and a home. Skills training and education need to be provided for free, low cost and to as many people as possible. Whether this education is taught through training, certification or a degree it opens up more opportunities. This education can be through life skills, learning for career training or academic university learning. These not only provide people with knowledge in the workforce but education helps us critically think and express ourselves in multifaceted ways. Education in any form is a progression that opens up opportunities for learners to become teachers and create more teachers. Advantages for underserved people are important in any capacity but is of crucial importance that resources are focused on children. Behavior change and comfortability with progression have a greater impact the younger people are. When people are older they are used to what they have been exposed to their whole lives. This way of living might be all that they know. This is natural for them and it could possibly pose fears of change. Programs that focus on youth development can possibly subside obstacles in inequity. For example in a town with low-income producer community members most if not all might not have a Bachelors's degree. Correlating education to higher chances in income an educational program can nurture interest sciences, arts, sports, and other subjects that lead to careers that require higher education or specialized skills potentially leading to higher incomes than the children's' parents had.
