This article is about the countries that are effected most by poverty and gives plenty of solutions to poverty. One example of a solution is to improve the training and equipment of agricultural farmers to increase crop yields and conserve the environment.
I like that site 'cause it tells you how poverty can be solved. oh, and I like the graphs because they give you an idea of where poverty is in the world if you don't know.. c:
This article gives ten great ideas to end poverty worldwide. It was good to know that someone had a detailed, organized plan to end poverty. These ten solutions are well thought out and are realistic.
i think we should find a big island with a lot of recouses and build it up a little bit and transport all the poverty people there and they can function like an independent collective society were its eaisyer to help each other
it shows challenges of world poverty and the solutions. One example is the rich gets richer and the poor get poorer. Throughout the 1990s, hungry people rose by 18 million. 4 million a year and 25,000 people die from poverty. I think that the rich gets richer and the poor get poorer is not all true, because some people donate money to poor people.
I heard on NPR that surprisingly, more people are looking up to the richer people for help, than looking down on them and blaming them that they hoard a lot of money and that they should be at fault for the economy.
It's kind of sad how selfish and uncaring people are/can be.
Once the amount of money between people is even, poverty wont be a problem.
Unfortunately, I don't think that's going to change anytime soon...
declan that is called down trickleing. the rich buy stuff, the money fom the stuff gets distributied among emploees, emploees buy stuff and it keeps going down the class pyrimid.
thats insane! the worlds so messed up with war, im making a song about it, but still this website has alot to offer and i also saw the war thing very interesting
It has facts and stats on poverty like the percentage of people in the world at different poverty levels. And it tells how much people die from poverty. it made me sad that alot of people live on 2.50$ or less on food everyday!
This article contains the causes of poverty as well as possible solutions. This article aslo has many other arrticles within it about poverty. I was amazed at some of the statistics this article gave but also hopeful that the problem is being addressed and solutions are being thought of.
This website Starts with some poverty facts like that 1 out of 2 children live in poverty. Then it continues with an article. Almost Half the world lives on 2.50 a day. Less than one per cent of what the world spent every year on weapons was needed to put every child into school by the year 2000 and yet it didn't happen. It also has some solutions to poverty.
This article had several subsections about things like major causes and poverty around the world. It had a lot of statistics about poverty that I didn't know before like the fact that less than 1% of what the world spends on military wepons was needed to put every child in schools by 2000 but id didn't happen, or that 1 out of 2 children live in poverty around the world. It was really sad.
Almost half of the people in the world live on $2.50 or less per day. 1 billion children are in poverty. Growing countries with growing economies put financial stress on people in poverty because things cost a lot of money to provide the government with money. I thought this was interesting learning about how poverty affects the world and how not much is being done for people in poverty.
Sometimes it isn't your fault for being in poverty. You may be born in poverty, and you may have not have a lot of money to begin with. But some people have addictions to drugs, alcohol, gambling etc.
this article has a lot of facts and statistics about poverty. It was really shocking to see that 80% of the world lives on less than $10 a day. and that Less than 1%of what the world spent every year on weapons was needed to put every child into school by the year 2000.
Wow, my gosh. I feel so bad for those people that can barely even stay alive because they can't afford food... I really can't imagine what it's like to feel like that D:
This gives you facts of poverty around the world. 22,000 children die around the world thats sad for so many people kides because the cause the poverty. We need to stop this.
The article gives many facts about the world wide issue, poverty. Almost half the world - over 3 billion people - live on less than $2.50 a day. Ths also gives graphs and stats about the percent of people in the world at different poverty levels. It gives many other graphs and stats too but i found this one the most interesting.
wow 2.50 dollars? dang thats horrible. thats like lunch for us.. its pretty depressing that these people live like this. this topic just makes me really depressed..
This is about what the causes of poverty are and what people going through poverty have to live with every day. I was surprised that over 3 billion people have to live off of less that $3 a day considering how much things cost here. A school lunch for us is around there so that is like just eating one meal every day.
I think that the charts and graphs on this website were interesting. It's shocking that over 3 BILLION people around the world are living off of less than $3 a day.
that is sooooooo big and i agree with kayla! i cant belive that people are living off of 3$ a day! i could never do that! rhat is less than what we pay for lunch!
Wow...this article really grabs you with the first few facts. I find it heartbreaking that 1 in 2 children, over 1 billion in all, live in poverty. When one is born into poverty, it's hard to leave it. These 1 billion children may never know what it's like to not be hungry.
This article is giving information about how many people are struggling in the United States from poverty. It gives causes and facts about hunger in the U.S. It was very eye opening when I read that 13 percent of people in the U.S. struggle with hunger. 16.7 million children live in households that struggle with putting food on the table.
Wow! Has it really gotten so bad that 1 in 4 familys struggle to put food on the table? I meen,i can't think about that because sometimes if i don't like whats on my plate then i throw it away and some people woule die for that.
The "Causes of Hunger in the US" article was super interesting. It made me realize that we have so much food in the US but if you don't have money to buy it, then you just can't buy it at all.
I know Adele! When I don't like something on my plate, I just throw it away and not think about how much someone right then is struggling and starving.
In the "hunger and poverty in african americans" article, i was so shocked of the total income, food insecurities, and poverty total. I am completely blown away by this!
I definetly agree with Adele. It's also sad that 51.4% of Americans will live in poverty before the age of 65. But it is nice to see that not only does this website have facts that grab you and give you a sense of how big this problem is, they also have solutions. The more solutions we can get, the better.
this shows the results of poverty and how it affects world hunger. I was very surprised after i read about how much things most people that are being affected by poverty can't get. I was also very surprised on how many children die of poverty in under 5 years.
This site gave me a lot of useful new facts without adding a lot of fluff. I found it interesting and an easy to read if you dislike your topic and would otherwise give up.
D: That's so sad.I know there are a lot of people out there who can't get the kind of healthcare they need, and I know a ton of people who go to the hospital often. If there are that many in my neighborhood, I wonder how many can't afford to go to the hospital.
This article was really sad, I couldn't believe that over 250,000 children die from hunger each week. I think it gave lots of good information without too much to read.
Great article. It was sad but atleast it wasn't trying to hide the truth or make it sound not as bad as it is. The fact that so many children die cannot be ignored...
the group CARE- a nonprofit organization works to provide food and water to those living in poverty. They have improved the lives of over 31 million people living in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. This article gave me a sense of how many people were living in poverty and how sad it is too see that number
- Grant Chesser
I thought it was cool that this organization helped actually educate and train people to become farmers. It's one thing to give money to help a family in poverty, but eventually that money will run out. By training people to be farmers, they can then get a job and make a steady income to support their family on their own.
I thought this was a very good article to read! I liked how they helped these people by not only feeding them but teaching them, giving some health care and standing alongside families that need soulutions to problems. THat is alot of people that need help. THis program is doing a great job of helping those in need.
I think that this article really shows how much we can help people in need. This one organization has helped over 31 million people. It's really upset me that 3 billion people are in poverty. Thats almost a 1 out of 2 kids being in poverty.
I find it amazing that a non-profit organization can be so wide spread throughout the world. This shows how if we all come together like the members of this organization, we can overcome great obsticles such as poverty. It ' s shocking however that so many people will not even attept to help those poor unfortunate families.
This article is about the causes and effects of poverty, and some studies that have been done on it. While reading this article, I was surprised to find out that almost 36 Million people in the United States are in poverty.
This article explains some of the causes of hunger and poverty, some facts, and what this organization has done to help. Some of the facts were really surprising, and I was surprised by how many people are struggling with hunger.
This talk about what Barack Obama is doing to handle poverty.Wow, they are giving 20 billion dollars to food stamps, and that seems like so much to us, but really that will not feed all of the poverty in America.
I cant believe how much money it will cost us to help fight poverty and hunger. We already have everything that is needed for everyone to survive. It is just a problem of sharing it.
This article gives some frightening facts about homlessness. It also, though gives some hope. It's a blog that focuses on Poverty, Homelessness and hunger.
Although it's sad, it's good to now that there are people out there who are willing to spread the word about poverty. The people who are finding solutions to poverty are angels.
This is an article that came out March 30, 2010. A personal story about a girl coming out from college trying to find a way in this world. It also talks about the live's of black families and white families and comparing their wealth.
that was a really inspirational article...i hope more people realize that often it isn't the people's fault-they just weren't given a chance to start a new life without all that baggage.
Peterson's story was very sad but it was interesting too see that she used education as her solution. I hope that people who are like her read her story and use education as their solutions. If she can inspire me im sure she can inspire alot of people just like her.
I liked the last part that said with personal education comes, the need for others to be educated. I thought this was really good because it was saying that the first and most important step to helping others in poverty is to be educated well.
I think that it's really interesting that education is one of the big reasons people are in poverty. If we could give everyone a proper education, we could probably take a lot of people out of poverty.
i liked how it said help stop proverty by educatong yourself and friends. It reminded me of the qoute at the zoo "plan for a month plant rice plan for a year plant trees plan for a life plant education"
It is very brilliant to educate people to help stop poverty; for "knowledge equals power," and we need as much power as we can get to cure the "plague" of pverty around the world.
I agree that educating people about poverty is one of the best ways to help it and to prevent it. educating people about the effects of poverty and educating people in general so they can go to school and get jobs is good.
I also agree that education is one of the ways to help stop poverty. Because if people are educated, they can get a job and provide for the family. It wont solve the probelm all the way because their income may not match up to the amount of money needed to live. But educating people is a good start.
it's so nice to see a website full of solutions. i mean, statistics and facts are important, but we need more sites like this that educate and give solutions.
I think that this article had some good ideas for helping to stop poverty. It also had links to organizations that help end poverty. The article really showed me how easy it is for us to use organizations to help the world.
This website provides information about several health issues that are a result of poverty. It also introduces you to one of the several solutions to help end poverty. This article really forced me to see the reality of it and just how many people are impacted.
This website is about world poverty and its effects. The home page has a map of people dying all around the world because of hunger/hunger related causes.
Well, this article tells you facts about poverty. It tells you organizations that help out this problem too. It told me that over 25,000 people die because of poverty and I was like, "OMGNOWAY!!"
I hated how the faces were showing up, but what made me sad was that most of them were in asia, africa, and a few were in south america. What i REALLY didn't like was at the bottom of the home page, it said the faces and the names were fake.
this article expains statistics and how although there is enough food for everybody, not everybody can afford it. About 25,000 people die every day of hunger,yet there is plenty of food in the world for everyone. its sad to see how many people are dying in just this hour.
I was really disturbed when I read that 25,000 people die each day of hunger or hunger related causes... I knew people died but I never thought that it would be that many...
Being in the situation we are, or at least the situation I am, I always feel very datatched rfom the world of poverty. But seeing the actual faces and coming to mental realization that these4 are people with families and storys was really an eye opener. good find.
oh my god, this article makes me soo depressed. but i don't understand how they could have the picture up of people who just died in that hour? unless i read it wrong
One person dies every 3 and a half seconds according to the United Nations. Children die more often than adults. The world has plenty of food to feed everyone but the problem is that people are trapped in severe poverty. They dont have the money to buy the food. If they never have food, they become week and sick causing them to not work and they get poorer. There are programs around the world the can help children buy food when they are at school so their families can save money.
The fact that every 3 1/2 seconds, a person dies due to poverty is really sickening. It makes me feel guilty that we have such a great life compared to others.
thats so sad that over 25,000 people die a day because of poverty. it is also very sad because they show the pictures of the people who died witch made me very sad.
One of the Millienium goals is to "Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people whose income is less than $1 a day." This article gives statistics and ways people have begun to reach the goal.
This article talks about the causes and effects of poverty. It also talks about what was once thought about poverty. This article angered me when I learned that many people used to think that it was all the poor peoples fault for being poor.
An article that gives the definition of poverty (absolute and relative). It also gives some causes that have been spectulated over. Not only that, but it has a nice chunk about the effects of poverty AND a feminist perspective on it. This article can help you if you are doing causes or effects of poverty.
The word poverty has a sterotype that the poor cause there own poverty. The effects of poverty are serious. Children who have lived in Poverty all their lives suffer more persistant, and ususally have sever health problems compared to the children who grew up with a little better health circumstances. The "blame the poor" perspective is stereotypic and is not true for all the underclass people. Not only are most poor people able and willing to work hard, they do so when given the chance. There are no solutions or explanations to why the poverty exist but scientist are going to continue to research though the years. \n\n
There are theories that the cause of poverty has to do with lack on concern about the future and possibly commiting self harming activited. Other families are born into it if their parents were in poverty, so they can't help it. Many effects of poverty include birth defects, easily sick, and impaired vision because of the lack of nutrition.\nI was surprised that the artical said that infants born into poverty are more likely to die before their first birthday. It also scared me because it would be hard on the family if they lost a child.
This gives a lot of information about poverty, and effects. It says that babies born to parents in poverty are more irritable, weigh less, and are more likely to die. It's kind of depressing, but we have to learn about the problem to solve it.
wow you guys are like writing novels over here... I like this website, it had some stuff that really interested me, and stuff that was kinda disturbing too. ://
This article talkes about how a women took a trip to africa and she talks about how bad the poverty level is there and her reations. she also tells the reader some sugerstons to help with the people. I was suprised with some of the sugerstons she gave to the reader.
this article gives ideas on how people can help people that are homless. after reading this article or even just the first paragraph that said that throughout the world there are people that are homeless. i didnt realize that even in lodon there are people that are homeless. i was shocked.
