    This article is about what causes poverty. I like how it goes into the social and cultural details that come with poverty. It talks about mental aspects of poverty, not just physical.

    You are right! I really like how it had many aspects to how poverty effects people. I thought it was a very interesting article.

    This article is full of information about how poverty starts and keeps on growing with no help of stopping it. There are many factors and causes that are explained on how families or individuals can't pull themselves out of poverty. I think that when they were explaining the causes of disease, then said that the knowledge of a cause won't solve it, but knowing the factors that lead it it will help us to better understand the ways to fix it. I think that this is very true and should be aware to all.

    Very in depth. I love the detail they put into it. It talks about all of it instead of just one part of it.

    Factors do not cause problems, but merely contribute to make the matter worse. This article speaks of the five major factors of poverty: Disease, Ignorance, Apathy, Dishonesty, and Dependency. The article speaks on each matter in turn, and explains each topic. I found this article quite intriguing, and very truthful. It definently deserves a read-through.

    this is a really interesting website. it says that people who are in poverty suffer more stress then those who dont. this causes them to commit more crimes

    I like how it shows that poverty could be a factor of crim but it is not alway that way.
  • Allen C on 12 Jan 11
     
    :o I didn't know that it was more likely for a poor child to commit a crime, but that sounds like something that would happen if you really need something to live, like food or clean water.

    This article is explaining that crime is evident in places that are high in poverty. It also states tat there are many others factors of poverty that lead to other things rather then just crime. They are also explaining how high unemployment leads to smaller crimes like stealing. I think that this is sometimes true, but that not all people in poverty steal to get food. There are other ways to get food legally.

    I really liked this article because i thought it was really interesting how people in poverty are so desperate to get fod that they would do anything to get it even steal it. That's usuallt why crime goes up because of people in poverty.

    I'm very surprised how densly populated areas are the poorest. I was looking more into how Poverty relates into crime this whole time, but with everything i saw, I didn't know that! It just kind of blew me away!

    This article is about the causes of poverty. Poverty is caused by overpopulation, unequal distribution of resources, costs of living, inadequate education, and unemployment. I was upset by the some of the causes of poverty, but hopeful too, because some of the causes could be changed in order to end poverty.

    this website talks about the many different factors that can play in peoples lives that will lead to them being in poverty
  • Mehl L on 11 Jan 11
     
    i think poverty will eventually be bred out wether from the most poor starting to die out and it will make it easier to help the smaller less scattered groups or somebody acually finds a decent way to help them all

    This article gives some basic causes of poverty and information on each of them. This article made me realize that it may not be the people's fault that they are struggling, but their environment plays a big part in it too.
  • Teets S on 11 Jan 11
     
    This article is about the suspected reasons for poverty. It provides detailed explanations for each cause of poverty; Overpopulation, Global Distribution of Resources, Costs of Living, Inadequate Education and Employment, Enviromental Degradation, and others. Reading this article, I felt guilty because of the standars of living in the U.S. I felt that in America, we worry about which new car, or designer clothing to buy, when people in developing countries worry about having enough in their gardens to feed their families. Our standards of living seem so silly compared to the standards in poverty stricken countries.

    I didn't know poverty was caused by so many things. This site is really informational too.
  • Tuttle S on 11 Jan 11
     
    Yes, their are many causes of poverty, but more importantly the efects, like malnutrition, homelessnes, and much, much more! It's crazy!

    I think that poverty in some places can be like a cycle, once someone gets into poverty, it is almost impossible to get out.
  • Banks T on 12 Jan 11
     
    I agree Jake. I think that poverty is a never ending cycle, After reeading alot of these articles, I think the best solution would be to educate people so they can get their own jobs and make an income to end poverty.
  • Mousou M on 12 Jan 11
     
    i disagree with jake and tara. I think that poverty is not a never ending cycle, because if everyone heard about these people and we convinced them to donate 10-100$ every month or so, then we can end poverty!. Here is website where you can donate money: http://donate.worldvision.org/OA_HTML/xxwv2ibeCCtpSctDspRte.jsp?go=section&section=10324&xxwvNavItemId=0&

    This article is extremly useful to me since i'm thinking about doing my report thing on causes. but its amazing how many causes there are and what they are.
  • Maddox M on 13 Jan 11
     
    I think that the most prominent reasons for poverty are inadequate education and pverpopulation. This makes more sense to why the US has a lot of poverty.
