The Columbus Dispatch - Local/State | The Columbus Dispatch - 0 views

  •  
    Article on Ohio have one of the highest "rates of poverty and some of the lowest household income. This came as an eye opener that poverty is closer to us than we sometimes think. In our perspective Ohio would never look like the place with one of the highest rates of poverty and lowest household income but this article really opened my eyes.
  •  
    I didn't know that OHIO had one of the most highest poverty rates.

Percent below poverty level (most recent) by state - 0 views

  •  
    This chart shows that there is a alot of poverty even here in the US. This lists them by states by the highest poverty rate. Its not surprising but its still sad.
  •  
    Ohio is #24. That's like, in the middle from everyone else. That's really sad to know, I feel bad for being so selfish and buying things for myself when there are people out there who don't own alot...
  •  
    Im surprised we are at #24 i thought we would be higher because i have seen a lot of poverty in ohio

Study:Poverty dramatically affects childrens brains - 0 views

  •  
    This article describes how poverty affects childrens brains. The articles says that lower class children's brains develope differently than those of the higher and middle class. This affects thier language skills and thier "ability to plan and remember details". I found this article interesting, and i think it might help explain why people who grew up in poverty have trouble getting out of it when they are older.

    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!

Causes of, Solutions to Poverty - 0 views

  •  
    This article has listed a few of the ways people have made the poverty number drop. The author of the article has also stated their opinions on how we should help the people in poverty by helping them learn how to sustain by themselves, not giving them aid.
  •  
    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.
