INITIAL QUESTIONS: 1.Who do you think is poor?
2. Why do you believe people are poor in the US and globally?
3. What do you think is being done about poverty?
4. How well do you think poverty is being addressed currently in the U.S?
5. What do you personally think should be done about poverty?
ANSWERS
1. How does one describe who is poor opposed to who is not? Poor can be defined as one having little money or few possessions, yet is that what "being poor" really is? Is it right to put the malnurished and underprivileged children whom know know difference for equal opportunity to be categorized as poor with those who voluntarily enagage and become addicted to drugs and end up on the streets, dripping in poverty; Is this a fair judgement? In my eyes, poverty and the poor are those who are not able to have access to the equal opportunities that we have in America.
2. When it comes to finding a reason why people in Americaare poor or are poverty stricken; there is none. Globally, people are typically in dire destitute because of the unequal chances given to people (or not given in this case).
3. In all honesty, it is hard to talk about what I think is being done to completely rid of poverty and prevent it as much as possible.- which actually shows the lack of publicity/media geared towards showing the extent of poverty.
4. Poverty is beyond any doubt not shown enough to the public eyes in the United States- therefore rarely thought about. If the poverty that is contiunally happening was shown more often, rather than being overlooked than maybe people would begin to realize the absoulte destitiute people are living through (globablly and in the U.S).
5. Although there are many people who have made attempts to find a "cure" for poverty (relief groups and so on) what is the successful and right apporach to achieve the depletion of poverty? I truly believe that spreading the word through schools/media and making people more knowledgable of the extent of poverty, then hopefully people would become more aware and begin to take serious action as a community to solve for better. Solving poverty is not a one man act, but the efforts of a community.
