Christians believe that wealth is something which can be good or bad so it cant be classed as truly good or bad thing.

Jesus set us lots of examples of how we are meant to live for he lived in poverty himself and how he lived a wonderful life. Jesus fed 5000 from a small amount so why do we have to be greedy with our money to stay alive .He has also done many miracles to heal and help people. To come to the conclusion we shouldn't be greedy with our money and share.

Islam teaches that wealth is something given by god for the benefit of humanity and therefore is something to be shared. In Islam, sharing wealth is not a optional extra and that it is something commanded by god in the religious pillar of Zakah. Muslims disapprove of making money through alcohol trade; banking and loans, sex industry and gambling they think this is selfish and think you should share your money. Muslims pay Zakah annually on the basis of two and a half percent of all their saving and income above the level needed to keep a family. They also pay a special zakah to the poop on their festival Id ul'Fit'r. Muslims also believe in paying Sadaaquah, voluntary giving cash to charity if they were asked or if they had any spare money. " He who eats and drinks whilst he brother goes hungry is not one for us" From Hadith quoted by al'Bukhari. This is that they think wealth and poverty should share equally. Mosques in Britain hold funds and money for charities all around the world and if they think any one is in need of these they will share it with them to help them along.

When we say world development we think of countries that are a lot poorer than are and us not as developed. For a country to develop they will need to include and thing about a lot of things such as Education and skills, health care, economy, clean water, good government and infrastructure. This is what will make a good developed country. In the world there is always going to be a need for world development no matter what people do. But it can be helped in some cases it can be helped. The only way some countries will be able to develop is by donations by charities and help from originations. When poor countries get a loan of richer countries to help its development then I think the development should be money making scheme so they will be able to pay back the loan. One thing which they could do is create new markets in their countries which the richer countries will be able to trade and sell in this will get them lots for money. The only way we can help is to donate and lend a hand in what they need help with.

I have chosen to look at Oxfam as my agency this is because I think it has done the most work and has become the most successful. Oxfam help third world countries in many cases, they help in Emergency such as when there is a water shortage food shortage they will be there to import food and water to help the people of the town. In the long term they collect money and with this money they build and make things, which will help the country in need of help. The work which Oxfam is very effective and has helped many people and countries.
