Rough Draft:)

Millions of people live in slums world wide, it's our responsibility to make the difference. Slums are over crowded cities in which people pay a dollar to live every day. Slums have poor, diseased, sad people that are living in the worst of conditions. Slums have a negative effect on populations through the rapid spread of disease, the angry and unsocial people who live in slums, and the creation of over population with such horrible sanitary conditions diseases spread like wild fires.
Wide varieties of diseases spread quickly in slums. Diseases spread rapidly with all the major risks and health factors the people in the slums are forced to face. According to Nancy Wangar "The lack of water and improper waste disposal are a big threat to our lives due to the risk of water-borne diseases, "This quote shows how diseases are spread and affect the people living in that area. With all these diseases people in slums more than likely use this as a reason to be so angry and unsocial.
People in slums are angry and unsocial because of the way they live. According to an article by Nile Blythe Source 2 states, ”So they are being socialized in this very hostile environment […] anti-social behavior.”   The people that live in slums have never experienced anything better they only know what the slum life is like; it isn’t that great at all. This quote shows how the conditions and treatment in slums creates people to act a certain way. With so many angry people, they must live somewhere.
With so many people effacing the challenge in poverty they all live in cities, creating them over populated to an extreme extent. So many people crowd one city with lack of money to go anywhere else.  Source 4 States, ”For the first time more people will be living in cities than in the country”. This quote shows how slums are a main reason for over population in cities. With all these points in mind living in a slum must be unbearable.
Humans need to realize what’s going on in this world and face it; Slums are a part of our populations. Slums are over crowded cities in which people pay a dollar to live every day. Slums have poor, diseased, sad people that are living in the worst of conditions. These points all show how slums have a negative affect on our earth and how they should be changed. People living in slums Spend one dollar a day to live, that’s 365 dollars for a whole year, imagine how much money you spend in one day, its more than likely allot more than that.
