Being in Poverty is Humiliating - 0 views

  •  
    This story is about a women who is housing 4 children without food or money. She is offered help from her parents. She is humiliated to have to have food donated to her because how they can not afford any food. I never thought people would be humiliated to recieve food from their own family members.

    It is sad that parents don't know how to deal with their children being in poverty. This shows how they can be more supportive of them and help with their growing.

Poverty Related Diseases - 0 views

  •  
    The article is about poverty-related diseases (PRDs) and how it is a mafor cause and cosequence of considerable povert in Developing Countries (DCs). The burdens of PRDs, especially HIV/AIDS, which today more than 40 million people are infected with AIDS, and many of them are in sub-Saharian Africa. Malaria, and Tuberculosis (TB), also TB remains the leading cause od morbidity and mortality world-wide, accounting for more than 2 million human lives every year. The annual global death toll of these three diseases approaches 6 million people and, in some African countries HIV infected 40% of the entire population. But the European Commision has propposed to support a long-term partnership between Europe and developing countries by providing $200 million for development of new medicines and vaccines to fight these three diseases. Thus the European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnershipm(EDCTP) brings together EU Member States plus Norway, developing countries and industry in a joint effort to combat PRDs. Fighting thses diseases will also be one of the most effective ways to alleviate poverty and promote economic progress in DCs. My opinion of this article is that it's brilliant, knowing that U.S. is not alone and that countries are coming together to stop thess diseases and poverty problems alike. I hope this article would be an insperation to teh U.S. and other countries, that are facing poverty and the horrific effects of the grotisque "plague!"

    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.

Effects of Poverty, Hunger, and Homelessness on Children and Youth - 0 views

  •  
    This website has a bunch of statistics about different areas of poverty. For example, they have a section of statistics about where child poverty is concentrated. This website has both causes and effects of poverty. But what I also like about this website, is it has not only things about poverty, but also things about hunger, and homelessness. This website really expresses how poverty has grown, and how it effects everyone, especially children. It make me feel very fortunate that I am healthy, go to a great school, and have loving and educated parents.

    I don't like how the person makes demands for the world to follow. It shows nothing about if countries are already trying to get rid of poverty or how it would mess with their economic structure. Some countries have health care for everyone but other parts of their economy is messed up.
