Article on Ohio have one of the highest "rates of poverty and some of the lowest household income. This came as an eye opener that poverty is closer to us than we sometimes think. In our perspective Ohio would never look like the place with one of the highest rates of poverty and lowest household income but this article really opened my eyes.

I didn't know that OHIO had one of the most highest poverty rates.

Proverty effects people in many ways hunger, homelesness and more. In this artical I learned where hunger stricks the most in the world. I also saw how the rate of hunger has changed though out history to today. It hurt me to find out that "world hunger" is 925 million people.

The census bureau says one in seven people were considered poor from 2009 statistics. The census bureau says one in seven people were considered poor from 2009 statistics.

This article provides a good definition of the word "poverty", this aritcle also provides a personal experience about being in poverty. This article also includes information about a program called MCI.

This is a really good article, its has a real life person that sufferd through poverty, and you get first hand their thoughts and feelings.

This article talks about how to adress the major problem of poverty in a class room(teachers veiw). I thought that in the article it was cool that they would give the teachers different ways to handle that certen stiuation in a good affective way.

This article is about the definition of hunger and malnutrition, what causes malnutrition,like someone with celic disease, effects of malnutrition, such as getting a weak imune system and fatigue,like who has a high risk of malnutrition, such as people living in poverty,and treatments and recommendations for malnutrition, which is talking to your doctor. Knowing that over 1 billion people in the world are malnurished is heart-breaking and nervracking, since that's more than the U.S., Canda, and the European Union's entire population!

wow i couldent imagin all of us in that state

wow i cant believe how many people are effected

This article describes how poverty affects childrens brains. The articles says that lower class children's brains develope differently than those of the higher and middle class. This affects thier language skills and thier "ability to plan and remember details". I found this article interesting, and i think it might help explain why people who grew up in poverty have trouble getting out of it when they are older.

This talks about how America isn't what it's said to be and criticizes a multitude of people. This also has stories about people living in poverty. This also is a compilation of articles as well.

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...

Im surprised we are at #24 i thought we would be higher because i have seen a lot of poverty in ohio

Gives the defionition of povery and gives you information on what are the concerns of poverty. Also how poverty shows up in countries and the reasons it is there.

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.

This is a short, simplen paragraph, that does exactly what the title says. It really made me upset reading it, because poverty happens everywhere, and can happen to anyone. Sometimes, it isn't anyone's fault. Some people are born into it. And poverty can be a result of no enough education. I feel very fortunate that both my parents have good jobs, and are educated. I know that some people aren't that lucky.

Poverty Threshold is different that poverty guidelines. Threshold is normaly used for statistics, such as estimating the number of Americans in poverty. Poverty guidelines are used for administrative purposes, such as seeing if someone meets the requirments of certain programs. The poverty guildelines may also be known as 'federal poverty level.' (There are charts showing the poverty guidelines for different family sizes that live in the 48 connected staes, Alaska, and Hawii) The poverty guideline changes depending on where you live. \nI was surprized to see that in 2009 Alaska had the highest poverty guideline at $13,530 and the 48 connected states had the lowest with $10,830. I also cant imagine my family of six living off $29,530. It also makes me think about all the other nessesities that we take for granted and how people living in poverty would be really greatful for them.

Many mayors have 10-year plans to end homelessness and had reported progress until this year. The most recent official count, in January 2007, found 671,888 people living on U.S. streets or in shelters, down 12% from January 2005.
