    This article is about people in Africa that live off 1 US dollar. Also it is about how wars in Africa can affect the people by higher poverty rates and really bad farming policys . Country's at war that are in Africa get 12.5 % less food per each person.

    That is really sad. It upsets me that so many people have to live like that. Its really upsetting. It makes me wanna help them but i feel like i can't, which also makes me sad.

Death rate for people in poverty - 1 views

    this was about death rate with people in poverty. it really surprised me that poverty would make you less willing to kill yourself. I would think that it would because you dont have anything.
  • Omar H on 14 Jan 11
     
    I agree with Marley. I also found it shocking that death rates are higher in cities were the gap between poor and rich is wide. You would think it would be higher if the gap between poor and rich wasnt wide. The article states that its like that because "a generally undesirable social climate that's inherently more stressful."
  • Korn G on 14 Jan 11
     
    The information in this article was crazy. Cities with a wide gap between the rich and poor have higher death rates.

    15 million children that sad. Why want people help them?
  • Smyth C on 13 Jan 11
     
    I don't know if we should be giving money to other nations to hepl poverty when we have so many people here in america that are experiencing the same hardships.
  • Green C on 13 Jan 11
     
    i fond this fact very disturbing and suprising: "Everyday 2,660 children are born into poverty; 27 die because of it.'
  • Roesch D on 14 Jan 11
     
    I liked this article because although it talked about the sad poverty statistics it did talk about how the government is trying to help compared to other articles which blame the government.
  • Teets S on 14 Jan 11
     
    This article was not only informational, but it made me hopeful. Full of statistics, this article gives you information on the effects of poverty AND tells you what is currently being done to help this growing problem in America. "Everyday 2,660 children are born into poverty; 27 die because of it." Although this fact is saddening, I was inspired by this fact: "In 1995, 49% of American adults regularly did some form of volunteer work -- a total of 20.3 billion hours." It's good to see that children in poverty are being helped by those more fortunate than themselves. (:
  • Bloom A on 14 Jan 11
     
    I cant believe that in 2008 15.45 million children were living in poverty or were poor. Those children will probably not get an adequate education or have a good healthy childhood. Most likly when those children are old enough they will have to get a job as soon as they can to help the family pay for the things they need. We are so lucky and most of us dont realise it.

    This article is about how the homeless are sheltered. It is the website of an organization that oporates an emergency shelter. I was happy to see how much came with the shelter and that people weren't just thrown into an empty space.
  • Kruzan A on 13 Jan 11
     
    I agree with Miranda, i was happy to see that the people got housing and were not all thrown into one room with a bunch of other people, and some blankets. That would make me feel really appreciated.

    i thought it was great that it came with a food starter kit.

    This is basicly breaking the stereotypes that some people think of others who are in poverty. I really amazed me how common poverty is. I used to think it was made-up.

    I thought this website was improtant because it showspeople about what some one living in poverty actually looks like. They could have a job. You might see them everyday and not know what they are living like. We know that the only way to break stereotypes is to educate. This article does just that
  • Plummer H on 13 Jan 11
     
    Ithought it was sad how it stated that poor people have usaully have jobs but they don't pay enough to suport them. so they work more hours than what my parents work.
  • Lide E on 13 Jan 11
     
    Some of this stuff is good to know. Some good facts about people in poverty.
  • Grover M on 13 Jan 11
     
    I love how this site breaks so many stereotypes of people in poverty. When you general think about poverty, you think of "Hobo's" or a dingy, dirty white guy with fingerless gloves and a sign. This hows that not all poor people are like that, only a tiny percentage are.
  • Sun K on 13 Jan 11
     
    i think this article was pretty interesting...it really did break a lot of stereotypes like how people in poverty don't have jobs-a lot of them actually do. they just don't pay enough.

    this article talks about the differences in rural and urban poverty. Urban families receive, give, and expect more help from friends than do rural families; they also expect less help from relatives.I thought that was really interesting seing the differences

    That was really interesting. I didn't know that the differences were so big. Poverty's impacts were a lot different than what i would've expected...

    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.

    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.

    it might declan but the stress for young poor kid in love to make ends meets are usually a reason to break up. its easier to substain yourself with some nutricious than provide both of you with raman noodles. so in theory this could cause malnutrision too!
