World Poverty - Challenges and Solutions - 5 views

  •  
    it shows challenges of world poverty and the solutions. One example is the rich gets richer and the poor get poorer. Throughout the 1990s, hungry people rose by 18 million. 4 million a year and 25,000 people die from poverty. I think that the rich gets richer and the poor get poorer is not all true, because some people donate money to poor people.

    I heard on NPR that surprisingly, more people are looking up to the richer people for help, than looking down on them and blaming them that they hoard a lot of money and that they should be at fault for the economy.
  •  
    I could not believe that the war in I raq has killed as many people in five years as poverty killed in four days!
  •  
    It's kind of sad how selfish and uncaring people are/can be. Once the amount of money between people is even, poverty wont be a problem. Unfortunately, I don't think that's going to change anytime soon...
  •  
    declan that is called down trickleing. the rich buy stuff, the money fom the stuff gets distributied among emploees, emploees buy stuff and it keeps going down the class pyrimid.
  •  
    thats insane! the worlds so messed up with war, im making a song about it, but still this website has alot to offer and i also saw the war thing very interesting

  •  
    This article is giving information about how many people are struggling in the United States from poverty. It gives causes and facts about hunger in the U.S. It was very eye opening when I read that 13 percent of people in the U.S. struggle with hunger. 16.7 million children live in households that struggle with putting food on the table.

    Wow! Has it really gotten so bad that 1 in 4 familys struggle to put food on the table? I meen,i can't think about that because sometimes if i don't like whats on my plate then i throw it away and some people woule die for that.
  •  
    The "Causes of Hunger in the US" article was super interesting. It made me realize that we have so much food in the US but if you don't have money to buy it, then you just can't buy it at all.
  •  
    i was suprsed to see that 13% of people are living in poverty in the united states
  •  
    I know Adele! When I don't like something on my plate, I just throw it away and not think about how much someone right then is struggling and starving.
  •  
    its amazing that poverty hits so close to home
  •  
    In the "hunger and poverty in african americans" article, i was so shocked of the total income, food insecurities, and poverty total. I am completely blown away by this!
  •  
    I definetly agree with Adele. It's also sad that 51.4% of Americans will live in poverty before the age of 65. But it is nice to see that not only does this website have facts that grab you and give you a sense of how big this problem is, they also have solutions. The more solutions we can get, the better.

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.
  •  
    i agree with kayla. im glad that so many people are trying to help children in poverty so that they can get the potential and education they need! when i get home i'm going to sign up for this website so that i can help them aswell as other people. :D

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!

    wow i couldent imagin all of us in that state

    This article is about the countries that are effected most by poverty and gives plenty of solutions to poverty. One example of a solution is to improve the training and equipment of agricultural farmers to increase crop yields and conserve the environment.

    This shows the solutions to world poverty and it shows the amount of poverty all over the world.

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.

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.

  •  
    I really liked how there was a variety of ways to take action that are realistic.
  •  
    There are more ways to help than I thought. I think organizing a dinner would be a great idea, we might be able to do it here at Phoenix!
