    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.'

    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.

    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. (:

    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 talking about the similarities and differences between the Depression and now. The author is saying how they might have had it better than us because they tried to get jobs instead of now how people just ask the government.

    I know a couple people from the depression, one was affected very badly from it and one wasn't. so i have heard what it is like to live through something like that, and i cant even imagine having to. to have all your deams vanish and be depressed all the time because you can't do anything because you can't afford it.

    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 like that the overnment is taking stops to help poverty, but I agree that it will not even come close to ending poverty.
  • Bloom A on 14 Jan 11
     
    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.
  • Korn A on 14 Jan 11
     
    it was interesting to see what the government is doing to alleviate poverty. The article talked about an act that they made to help people in poverty.

    This article is mainly about how poverty is caused and why
  • Sorenson H on 11 Jan 11
     
    This site will tell about facts and causes of poverty. It really amazed me how most of humanity lives on just a few dollars a day.
  • Bolon T on 11 Jan 11
     
    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.
  • Kading R on 11 Jan 11
     
    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.
  • Sun K on 11 Jan 11
     
    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.
  • Roesch D on 11 Jan 11
     
    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.
  • Carnahan H on 11 Jan 11
     
    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.
  • Liu D on 12 Jan 11
     
    This site gives reasons for poverty as well as data. This site is a compilation of a lot of articles on poverty through 2000.
  • Giesman G on 13 Jan 11
     
    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.
  • Borror D on 13 Jan 11
     
    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:
  • Isaacson R on 13 Jan 11
     
    Many people are confused why people are getting into poverty. Here is some good explainations. This really helped me understand more.
  • Bloom J on 13 Jan 11

    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.
  • Strauss V on 13 Jan 11
     
    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.
  • Dendiu S on 13 Jan 11
     
    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 article talks about what causes poverty.
  • Martin L on 13 Jan 11
     
    no really? sorry but really
  • Pawluk M on 13 Jan 11
     
    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.
  • Boudreault K on 13 Jan 11
     
    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.
  • Bloom J on 14 Jan 11
     
    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!
  • Yeh W on 14 Jan 11
     
    this artical shows the percent of people in the world at different poverty levels each year
  • Stonerook J on 14 Jan 11
     
    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.
