    This tells about very important reasons that we have poverty everywhere. And what we need to do about it.

    Overall it's just different facts about poverty. Some of the categories are Health, Agriculture and hunger. I wonder why women were mentioned more.

    It really amazed me how little they live on a day. They live on a dollar a day and I go the mall and buy $100 worth of clothes.

    It Disturbied me to learn that about every min some where in the wolrd a women dies giving birth. It also shocked me that about 40% of the worlds population doesnt have bacis sanitary water.

    A lot of the facts in this are pretty suprising, like that every 3.6 some one dies of starvation.

    It was really disheartening to hear that over half the people in the world live on less then 2 dollars a day

    It made me feel really bad when it said that six million kids die every year from malnutrition before their 5th birthday.

    I could not believe that 800 million people every day go to bed hungry, and that 300 million of them are kids.

    800 million people go to bed hungry every night! I don't even know what it feels like to be starved or to go to bed without food. I can't even begin to imagine what these people are going through.

    Tara's right...it's hard to put yourself in somebody else's shoes when you are so used to having basic things, like food. But it's important to try.

    The Paragrapsh that really caught my attention was the phone tittled "Big corperations make poor pay higher taxes" becuase it just seems crazy to me that you would tax the people who are the most likely not to be able to pay? not to mention the majority who would be buying the corperations product?

    If i was hungry before i went to bed, i would just walk downstairs and get a snack. It's hard to imagine that these people do not have that, and that they are almost always hungry. I just can't even imagine that.

    This article is very depressing, the way it's written. But, it does have very interesting facts. It's hard to believe that basically 1 in 6 people are living on less than a dollar a day. In our country, a dollar can barely buy you a burrito or a burger. Although some people may use the excuse that stuff costs less in other places, so what? In our country, the minimum wage is about $56 dollars a day, and a lot of people have other money saved up. It seems like so much, compared to the less than one dollar, but people are barely getting by on that. It's just not fair that a lot of people have a ton of money, but there are more people living on pratically no money.

    This article shows income poverty, health poverty, poverty effects on women, and poverty effects on children. From deaths to the struggles of surviving poverty, these charts and percentages show what is happening around the world to over 1 billion people in poverty.

    This website really opened my eyes. I knew that there was an amount of people who live under a dollar a day but i didnt realize that ONE BILLION live that way. It was also horrble to see that ELEVEN MILLION children die each year because they cant afford to cure their sickness.

    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.
  • Cook A on 13 Jan 11
     
    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.
  • Shockley L on 14 Jan 11
     
    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 thought the article wasn't the most detailed but it still outlined ways of helping people in poverty
  • Giesman G on 14 Jan 11
     
    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.
