    Shows perctentages, charts, graphs, and statistics from the Census Bureau. In 2005, there were 35 million poor people living in the U.S., and the percentage has varied from 11.3% to 15.1% of the population over the past 20 years. This article is the best source to research on pooverty, and I highly recommened anyone to read this. The information in this article is both interesting and emotionally grotisque. I really couldn't read the whole article without shedding a tear, or heart-break.

    this article has a suprising chart that shows the difference in poverty rates between a married couple with kids and a single mother with the same amount of kids
  • Liu D on 14 Jan 11
     
    Do you think that even if a single mother had a good education she would still be in poverty? I think so IFF the child or children could take care of themselves long enough for the mother to find a decent job to support the family.
  • Costello R on 14 Jan 11
     
    that very interesting. i never would have thought that married families are at less risk of poverty affecting them, but now that i think about it i guess they could both work and would get more money then one person.

    this article talks about who are homeless and the percents of each homeless group. IT was really touching because it showed that everyone is affected. It really made me feel sad when I saw that 36% of homeless people are families

    it makes us relize how we shouldnt take things for granted, and just should be thankful for what we have, becuase some people dont even get the love and support we get. they just have nothing. ):
  • Grover M on 13 Jan 11
     
    I found this article interesting becasue it gives statistics about peopl who are homless, like 28% don't have enough to eat, compared to the 12% of adults who are hungry nut have homes." and "22% have been physically assulted". It gave me a different perspective about people who are homeless.

    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.

    This article describes how addiction can cause poverty and how poverty can make addiction worse. The article trys to make it clear that you shouldn't stereo type that all poor people are addicts. I thought that was a good point to make because this is a pretty common sterotype for people to believe.

    This article talks about the causes and effects of poverty. It also talks about what was once thought about poverty. This article angered me when I learned that many people used to think that it was all the poor peoples fault for being poor.

    An article that gives the definition of poverty (absolute and relative). It also gives some causes that have been spectulated over. Not only that, but it has a nice chunk about the effects of poverty AND a feminist perspective on it. This article can help you if you are doing causes or effects of poverty.
  • Strauss V on 13 Jan 11
     
    The word poverty has a sterotype that the poor cause there own poverty. The effects of poverty are serious. Children who have lived in Poverty all their lives suffer more persistant, and ususally have sever health problems compared to the children who grew up with a little better health circumstances. The "blame the poor" perspective is stereotypic and is not true for all the underclass people. Not only are most poor people able and willing to work hard, they do so when given the chance. There are no solutions or explanations to why the poverty exist but scientist are going to continue to research though the years. \n\n
  • Shockley L on 13 Jan 11
     
    There are theories that the cause of poverty has to do with lack on concern about the future and possibly commiting self harming activited. Other families are born into it if their parents were in poverty, so they can't help it. Many effects of poverty include birth defects, easily sick, and impaired vision because of the lack of nutrition.\nI was surprised that the artical said that infants born into poverty are more likely to die before their first birthday. It also scared me because it would be hard on the family if they lost a child.
  • Mullet K on 13 Jan 11
     
    This gives a lot of information about poverty, and effects. It says that babies born to parents in poverty are more irritable, weigh less, and are more likely to die. It's kind of depressing, but we have to learn about the problem to solve it.

    I think that it's strange that it's harder for younger people to get married since usually it's the opposite. I wonder if you are well off does it affect your chances for staying with your partner?

    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!

    This article is about staistics and how America is ineffective at reducing poverty. The United States has suffered with having almost the highest poverty rate. One in every three adults will experience extreme poverty at least one year of their adult life. 6.8 of these extremely poor people are men, with the women making up the difference of 9.1 million.

    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.

    This site has statistics of homelessness all over the world! India has the highest homeless rate out of all 100,000,000 people without homes in all of the world, with 78,000,000 people out on the street. This are some shocking numbers, and really deserve to have a look. I find it amazing that there's enough homeless people in Hong Kong alone for them to make the list with other countries.
