In my country its not that different, majority of the parents their child to be a doctor or an engineer. it is mostly because they know that with these jobs their children can live a stable life when its come to money with lot of respect. but the trend is slightly changing in the past few decades as more and more job oriented courses are coming, and the people are getting the information they want to have to choose correct path. but the MBBS degree still standout from the other carrier paths. because it is the only degree with assured job in my country.

as i believe the main reason for long term poverty in countries is due to poor education and lack of knowledge leading to poor understanding about their situation and not knowing methods to get rid of the factors that make them poor, by education the public, they can gain the knowledge to improve agricultural activities with the resources they have, because even in most barren land you can cultivate something with proper knowledge, with that their nutrition level will grow up and that will help them to archive more money seeking activities, poor education and knowledge also leads to corrupt politics and poor governance, this make the population go in to more trouble. so to reduce poverty, the best way would be to increase the education level of the society.

badness or goodness of abortion is depend on mothers condition. if there is a danger to the life of the mother due to the pregnancy, abortion is indicated, in most of the other situations abortion is illegal in the majority of the countries, even though its illegal lot of pregnant mothers risk their life by attempting unsecure abortion procedures, specially in developing countries. in my opinion best way to tackle the problem will be health education, and making easy accessibility to contraceptive methods. what people need to know is without proper medical care attempting to abort can be life threatening.

Buddhism is one of the most peaceful religions in the world, (if not the most peaceful). it talks about the inner purity and coping with problems on your own, rather than following unrealistic god or belief. most of the other religions follow gods but not in Buddhism, Buddha is a human, and every person can reach to the enlightenment by clearing your thoughts and by understanding the reality of life
