    This website gives good information about poverty all around the world. (ex: Africa, Europe, Asia, America.) I read the one about Africa. There biggest struggle is hunger. Food prices have risen alot in the past couple years, so its harder then ever to buy cheap food.

    The website is about what has lead us to poverty and what still is. It seems like from the website that people in the west take advantage of poorer regions because the resources are cheaper. I find that very selfish. I was also very suprised too see that the main problem were the policies of international institutions.

    i agree with adele about the cool events. I drive though cinncinati a couple times a year and i see the big stadium plus i have family down there who are dintist so i never would have thought it would be one of the more poor cities in ohio. I also can't believe clevland because its up by lake errie and i travle there too and i would think they would have more job opertunities from working the ferries or working at cedier point.But i guess thats why its so shocking to me.

    i can't believe the sitaution is so bad, and how WILL we survive? (that was supposed to be in italics) it doesn't make sense-if the world becomes poorer and poorer, then the rich become fewer and fewer, and eventually it's going to snowball and just get out of control
  • Strauss V on 14 Jan 11
     
    I was surprised to see the one of the facts said that poverty is a much more complex problem today than it was when the war on poverty began in the 1960s. I would have thought that that it would have gotten better because there were more jobs avaliable and more money. It would make sense to be bad in the 1960s because there werent a lot of jobs available. What if it keeps getting worse? What will happen in about 50 years from now? Will everybody be living in poverty? It would be helpful to find these answers out now.
  • Reed E on 14 Jan 11
     
    I think this quote hits the nail on the head. "We're seeing a different wave of people using our health centers as the recession hits people in the middle class who have recently lost their jobs," - Julie DiRossi if the economy keeps tanking the way it has been the U.S is in trouble, the majority of this country is people in the middle class and if people keep losing jobs and not being able to build the econonmy up and its just a circling problem

  • 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."

    Its so sad that so many children died before there 5th birthday! 8 MILLION children.

If everyone thought that same way the number of kids dying each year would be soooo much higher.

    At first I thought that this man's story was amazing, but as his real story developed, I was disgusted by this story. Turns out that he was a drug addict and that he has (still is) physically abused his daughter, lying to her, saying that he was sober when really he was slobbering drunk. Now he is going to rehab. Guys, rehab isn't free. Who's paying for that? Some person who felt generous. Well, why is it that the people who have chosen to throw their lives away get all this support? What about the people who are pure? While this man gets attention for being a drug addict, people are STILL starving on the streets. Juss' sayin.

    I would disagree; other people turned his life around for him. Do you really think that if he didn't have rehab PAYED FOR HIM he would have sought help for his addiction? He wouldn't have told anybody :/ Sure, it's awesome that he was found on the street, and that HIS life is better, but there are STILL people who I believe deserve help more than him. It makes me sick that all the corrupt people are the ones who get all the attention, when the pure are left to fend for themselves.

    I like this article it is very interesting about how he was homeless one day and then in 3 days he's now rich and has a house. so i think what they are trying to say is that not all homeless people are non talented school drop outs. they are trying to say that some are very talented and might have messed up in life.

So in india they have somthing known as the "slums" kind of like a ghetto that we have here in the states, but people there live in poor poor living condtions, without running water, no flushing toilet, and no bath the poverty here would look like luxrury there.

This reminded my about maslows heirarchy and how if they don't have a strong base(home) everything else will fall apart.

    This article is full of information about how poverty starts and keeps on growing with no help of stopping it. There are many factors and causes that are explained on how families or individuals can't pull themselves out of poverty. I think that when they were explaining the causes of disease, then said that the knowledge of a cause won't solve it, but knowing the factors that lead it it will help us to better understand the ways to fix it. I think that this is very true and should be aware to all.

    Factors do not cause problems, but merely contribute to make the matter worse. This article speaks of the five major factors of poverty: Disease, Ignorance, Apathy, Dishonesty, and Dependency. The article speaks on each matter in turn, and explains each topic. I found this article quite intriguing, and very truthful. It definently deserves a read-through.

    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.

    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 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 shows the results of poverty and how it affects world hunger. I was very surprised after i read about how much things most people that are being affected by poverty can't get. I was also very surprised on how many children die of poverty in under 5 years.

    D: That's so sad.I know there are a lot of people out there who can't get the kind of healthcare they need, and I know a ton of people who go to the hospital often. If there are that many in my neighborhood, I wonder how many can't afford to go to the hospital.

    This article was really sad, I couldn't believe that over 250,000 children die from hunger each week. I think it gave lots of good information without too much to read.

    Great article. It was sad but atleast it wasn't trying to hide the truth or make it sound not as bad as it is. The fact that so many children die cannot be ignored...

    With so many children dieing I almost wish people wouldn't have babies if they can't feed them because in the end the child will die.

    Its disappointing because at the end of world war 2 scientist that with the advancement of technology, poverty would disappear but it didn't ;(

    This site is about a new system to help solve homelessness. It is called a Vulnerability Index and provides housing for the homeless. I was saddened by reading that when you see someone who is homeless you are essentially seeing someone who is dieing.
