In the book, Plan B 4.0 one of the chapters talks about the importance of educating people around the world. Education lowers the birth rate and helps people become self-sufficient. When women are more educated they are less likely to become pregnant. One illness that is very prevalent and causes many deaths in third world countries is dysentery. I was sad when I read that because it is so curable. The book talked about teaching women how to make a solution to help stop the dysentery. I thought that it is important to educate people how to take care of it rather than just giving women the solution.
