Introduction Paragraph

In 2030 two billion of the world's estimated five billion will live in slums. By definition a slum is a "densely populated usually urban area marked by crowding, dirty run-down housing, poverty, and social disorganization." Slums negatively affect the world's population because they contain violence, litter due to the lack of facilities and sickness that can spread easily as a result of the lack of good health care. On of the main reasons slums negatively affect the world's population would be the violence inside them.
