A neighborhood populated with the poor can still manage themselves through health, meals, etc. via government giving them money, or food stamps. Governments who could care less about the wellbeing of their own people will be creating slums. The Slums are not the best place to visit, nonetheless live in, for its sanitation is well below any poorly maintained bathroom. With garbage and waste scattered across these grounds, the chance of the inhabitants of Slums obtaining any disease is very likely and the death toll on children would be devastating, as their weak/young immune systems cannot handle this environment. The fact that Slums even exist shows the potential in what human populations around the world could look like.

(Summarize Arguments) If humanity did not have proper leadership, then wouldn’t the world just be one giant slum?
