Water deprivation is part of the classic image of a poor African or Middle Eastern family. Many acknowledge the fact that clean drinking water is hard to come by in Africa and the Middle East and that sanitation is a big issue, but few respond to this knowledge. Since it doesn’t effect the Western world directly, it doesn’t get any attention. Only issues that are important and relevant to the Western world get the attention, hype and care needed.

The media world and the blogging world focus on issues like public heath, debt recovery politics and a wide range of issues. Focus never leaves the blogger or the blog reader, issues are always about the two. This makes sense, why write and read about things that don’t concern you? But this is exactly the issue, people and populations are so SELF INDULGED that focus can never turn from themselves. Blogs about the disparity in water access world wide will never get hot because people rather write and read passionately about things that are relevant to themselves instead of other people. Water access is not relevant to the Western world, but is a very important issue elsewhere is the world. There is a lack of attention to the outside world and everyone is just concerned about their own well being.  The problems created by the water access disparity in the world will never become a hot topic in the Western world.
