PROFESSOR'S COMMENT:
The World Bank Organization describes poverty as:
“Poverty is hunger. Poverty is lack of shelter. Poverty is being sick and not being able to see a doctor. Poverty is not having access to school and not knowing how to read. Poverty is not having a job, is fear for the future, living one day at a time.”
Poverty is not having money to meet basic needs. However, poverty is much, much more.
Poverty has many faces, changing from place to place and across time, and has been described in many ways. Most often, poverty is a situation people want to escape. So poverty is a call to action.
Write 2 sentences answering each question as a way to state your opinion:
1. What is poverty?
2. Who can be considered as poor in our society?
3. How do we react towards those people?
4. What should be done to fight poverty? How can we help stop poverty?

ReplyDelete1-Poverty is not having something to eat at night. Poverty is the reality of the world today.
ReplyDelete2-In our society homeless addicts are considered poor. Some elders can be considered poor too.
3-Sometimes we don't react in the correct way and reject them. Others gave them money thinking that is the only way they can help.
4a- To fight poverty our government needs to share wealthiest with those ones who are disabling. It needs to bring high levels of quality of life and more sustainable jobs.
4b-We can help stop poverty by sharing what we have. Another way to stop poverty is by creating communities with responsibilities.
BY ALEX RODRIGUEZ
In my personal opinion poverty is the lack of anything that meets the needs of human beings. Everyone has physiological and emotional needs. Usually, people considered poor are those who have little or no financial resources necessary to meet their needs. We have different way of reacting to the poor people. Some people may experience sensitivity and be empathetic, others may be indifferent to the situation. First, we need to stop global poverty is the union of all people. That different governments reach a concessive on the matter. Totally forget the political parties and unite in one voice. In order to demonstrate the love of neighbor.

1. Sometimes we think that we are poor for not having all the material things we want, but the reality is that most of us always have food, medicine, clothing and a safe place for sleep. Poor are those who do not have money even for food, medicine or clothes.
2. In our society classified as poor people who can not have the basic services of electricity or water in their homes. Also see how poor people who depend on the charity of others or government aid to survive.
3. Most of us, though there are many cases that move us, we try to ignore that this is happening, to not feel the responsibility to help. We have become selfish, just think of our being and we are becoming more insensitive to others.
4. The government should try of reduce economic inequality, where the rich have too much money and the poor have nothing. The government also should try to create awareness among wealthy people to share a part of what they have with those most in need.
