    I was shocked where it said, "At least 80% of humanitly lives on less than $10 a day". There's something wrong with humanity if this is all we have. This article gives a lot of surprising facts.
  •  
    Some of the graphs really made me sad. There was $105 billion spent on alcoholic drinks and $400 billion spent on narcotics drugs, what really made me sad was that there was only $6 billion spent on BASIC education, and $9 billion spent on water sanitation throughout the world. It made me sad..
  •  
    These are statistics about poverty. There are several graphs and charts that show how poverty effects different countries. Alot of the graphs are surprising and make me very sad. In 1998 more money was spent on Narcotics Drugs and Alcoholic Drinks than was spent on sanitation, basic education, and health (nutrition)
  •  
    This is unbelieveable! 22,000 children die every day due to poverty? It makes me feel like we really need to do SOMETHING. We have enough money to make a big change in the poverty levels, if we did something about it.
  •  
    i think its really sad that over half of the world makes less than 2.30 dollars a day. its also sad how many kids and people die each day from poverty and hunger. we should think of better ways to provide other people with food because there is enough for everyone.

  •  
    This site will give you facts of Poverty.
  •  
    I was amazed that two adults with three children would make 25,603 dollars. I can't even imagine how they would survive this. Looking at the graph is really an eye opener to how little people really make.
  •  
    This article has many frequently asked questions about poverty. It contains many facts about poverty and how it has changed over time, how it differs between different races, and how it is measures depending on how many people live in a household. I was surprised when i saw the graph of the poverty in different races. The poverty in thousands was pretty much the same until you got down to the asian percent. It was considerably lower then any other race which surprised me.
  •  
    I really like this website because it gives you all you should know if you want to learn all about poverty. Along with descriptions of everything, it provides very helpful charts and graphs.
  •  
    its amazing to me how africa has changed
  •  
    I didn't know that In 2009, 14.3 percent of all persons lived in poverty. I also agree with luke.
  •  
    It talks about the university of Michigan finding out about how many people in the U.S. are in poverty and won't tell anyone. It goes from a single individual to single parent to two adults.

    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 site gives reasons for poverty as well as data. This site is a compilation of a lot of articles on poverty through 2000.
  •  
    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:

    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.
  •

  •  
    This article talks about what causes poverty.
  •  
    no really? sorry but really
  •  
    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!
  •  
    this artical shows the percent of people in the world at different poverty levels each year
  •  
    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.

    A website explaining a little bit about who's in poverty and gives a few graphs to show the poverty rates. I think helps in seeing the problem and applying that to what you know with words.
  •  
    I found it interesting that poverty rates have droped world wide, but the rate of people likely to slip into poverty is rising.

    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.

    This shows the solutions to world poverty and it shows the amount of poverty all over the world.

"Plague" of Poverty in America - 1 views

  •  
    Shows perctentages, charts, graphs, and statistics from the Census Bureau. In 2005, there were 35 million poor people living in the U.S., and the percentage has varied from 11.3% to 15.1% of the population over the past 20 years. This article is the best source to research on pooverty, and I highly recommened anyone to read this. The information in this article is both interesting and emotionally grotisque. I really couldn't read the whole article without shedding a tear, or heart-break.

    This chart shows that there is a alot of poverty even here in the US. This lists them by states by the highest poverty rate. Its not surprising but its still sad.
  •  
    Ohio is #24. That's like, in the middle from everyone else. That's really sad to know, I feel bad for being so selfish and buying things for myself when there are people out there who don't own alot...
