Shortly after the heavy topic of Wealth Disparity in West Africa was brought upon the table for discussion in the International Monetary Fund, an incredible number of suggestions were voiced and debated upon.
Two clear-cut sides were immediately evident in this discussion; one being in support of utilizing microloans in order to stimulate the economy in West Africa, and the other for the utilization of education in order to support the citizens in the said region. Within the hour, UN representatives from all across the globe in the International Monetary Fund fell into disarray over determining which is the correct course of action for this committee.
The delegate of Sweden is strongly in favor of education, holding the belief that the lack of education is the number one issue in wealth inequality, as it is stated to be positively correlated to a decline in job opportunities. With clear emphasis on his stance, the delegate stated: “Education, education, education.”
On the opposite side of the room, the United States of America acted as one of the most prominent opposing speakers, using an abundance of clever analogies relating to “rivers and fish” in order to communicate his perceived futility of education. He claimed that as the infrastructural and basic living conditions in West Africa are already in urgent need of international aid, this should take priority compared to education. The delegate, along with several of his followers, claimed that the issue of wealth disparity and even the problem of governmental corruption itself can be fixed by the national distribution of microloans.
