    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 that the second way of ending poverty isn't a way as much as an idea because clearly everybody disserves it and should have it but there not.

    This was cool. Maybe as phoenix we could take some of these ideas.

    The 2nd one should be for everyone, no matter what...

    I agree Kristen! Maybe could raise more awareness for the 7th graders.

    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

    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.
  • Green C on 11 Jan 11
     
    A lot of the facts in this are pretty suprising, like that every 3.6 some one dies of starvation.
  • Magnuson A on 11 Jan 11
     
    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.
  • Eyen J on 11 Jan 11
     
    I could not believe that 800 million people every day go to bed hungry, and that 300 million of them are kids.
  • Banks T on 12 Jan 11
     
    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.
  • Ackerman B on 12 Jan 11
     
    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?
  • Kruzan A on 12 Jan 11
     
    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.

    mr reed the world sucks te rich are paying incentives to government so they wont raise taxes on the rich. so where are they gonna get the money? middle and lower class people!
  • Mullet K on 13 Jan 11
     
    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.
  • Omar H on 14 Jan 11
     
    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.

    this article is about a group in Mexico (VCAW's). this group helps small urban areas of mexico get food, since woman dont have rights down there they try to gert more rights for them too. I think this article is very insightful to what happens in other parts of the world but idont necesarily agree with what the groups doing

    I did not know that within the estimated 25.2 million people living in rural Mexico, 57 percent live in poverty and 28 percent live in extreme poverty.
