intro paragraph

Slums have a major negative impact on countries all around the world. They are heavily populated rural areas that are cheap to live but are also unsafe. Many people move into slums because life in the city gets to expensive. Also many slums are hidden by their governments because they are ashamed of how disturbing they look, even though they are larger than most cities. Three negative effects that slums have on human populations are that they are rapidly growing, can help contribute to global warming, and have a high percentage of people that live in poverty.
Slums affect not just the people living in them but around them because they grow rapidly.
