poverty and devorce are related! - 1 views

  •  
    the saddist part is they could be made for each other but their class and income are keeping them apart. D:
  •  
    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!

    I really liked this because it gives you a chance to sponser a child, and it also tells you about what you have to do and what will happen when you sponser a child. This is a great site to look at after you look at poverty articles because it will really make you want to do something to help out. Thanks for sharing!
  •  
    I cannot believe that 24,000 kids die each DAY just from poverty. I also like the way you can sponser a child, and they made it look so easy, it makes it so easy to want to do something to help.

Hunger and Malnutrition - 0 views

  •  
    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!

    This story is about a women who is housing 4 children without food or money. She is offered help from her parents.

Consequences of poverty - 3 views

  •  
    This article is about the effcts poverty has on children. It gives the consequences poverty sometimes causes for children living in it. Children living in poverty are more likely to have behavior problems, as well as emotional and physical problems. I felt upset reading about the consequences that children living in poverty had to deal with because it wasn't their fault they were poor.

    This article is about some of the long term effects that poverty can cause for children in poor families. I think that it is really sad that a child's potential can be limited so much by not having enough money.
  •  
    I really like how this article goes into the mental aspects of children who live in poverty. It's interesting and sad to learn how many behavioral problems children can have when they grow up not having money.
  •  
    I think its sad how it talks about how children are limited in their futures because they were born into poverty. I think its good that it shows how there is poverty even in the US. A child could have amazing potential and cant get anywhere because they are in poverty.
  •  
    I like how it gives the numbers. It helps me to have a better view. For example, I knew that poorer people are more likely to do worse in school, I just didn't know how much. Twice as much as a nonpoor person.

Motion for Resolution - 2 views

    This article gives some resolutions to end poverty. They state some of the things they are worried about concerning poverty, and then give ideas and suggetions of ways to end it and solve those problems. Some ideas of how to end poverty: eliminate school fees, support breast-feeding, provide drugs for AIDS, access to electricity, action against domestic violence, deworming children in affected areas, free school meals, and many more. Knowing these things is helpful because it gives you actual ideas to act on in order to end the vicious cycle of poverty.

    it is so horrific that little kids have to go through prostitution and human trafficing, when their just little kids. when they don't even have sanitary items or hospitals near by, that child can get severly ill and a chance of dieing, from prostitution. It also made me sad when i saw the pictures on the side of this artical, and how these children have to go through this is a big part of their life.

    you are right! those are ten amazing ideas and end poverty everywhere!
  •  
    I think that the second way of ending poverty isn't a way as much as an idea because clearly everybody disserves it and should have it but there not.
  •  
    This was cool. Maybe as phoenix we could take some of these ideas.
  •  
    The 2nd one should be for everyone, no matter what...
  •  
    I agree Kristen! Maybe could raise more awareness for the 7th graders.
  •  
    i think we should find a big island with a lot of recouses and build it up a little bit and transport all the poverty people there and they can function like an independent collective society were its eaisyer to help each other
