It's Time To End Poverty In The United States

Everyone knows what the word poverty means. It means poor, unable to buy the necessities to survive in today's world. We do not realize how easy it is for a person to fall into poverty: A lost job, a sudden illness, a death in the family or the endless cycle of being born into poverty and not knowing how to overcome it. There are so many children in poverty and a family's structure can effect the outcome. Most of the people who are at the poverty level need some type of help to overcome the obstacles. There are mane issues that deal with poverty and many things that can be done to stop it.

Poverty is a vicious cycle that inevitably affects future generations. By breaking the cycle of poverty with education, better government

Poverty is more prevalent In the U.S than many people know for example 1 in 5 families are thought to be poor. So how can we help? Well instead of giving money to these families in need we should be providing them with necessities for everyday life. If low income families are only given money there is no way to make sure it is going to the benefit the families needs, It could be going to drugs or other unnecessary things. Another way to help is making birth care more accessible so there are less unplanned pregnancies throwing many into poverty. If the government makes these two changes poverty would dramatically decrease

Government is aiding with the effects of poverty but not doing enough in order to eradicate the cause of poverty. By taking money and reallocating it to programs to enhance the knowledge of the working class instead of just aiding in the effects would greatly increase the chances of coming up out of the poverty level. A much needed overhaul of the government aid programs needs to be done in order for those who are taking advantage of the system to be stopped and those whom are in need of the help get the provisions needed. As much as the government does not want to hear it (nor do it) they need a budget cut themselves also. The money that could be saved by these government officials could be used to coordinate new programs for educating and helping the men and women who are truly in

There seems to be an increase in poverty in the United States and there are so many theories behind why this might be a problem. It seems as if Society as a whole wants to blame this social “condition” on Society itself. I believe that the problem of poverty lies within the actual individuals that are experiencing poverty. There are a few reasons why people experience poverty. They are as follows: One, the liberal welfare programs that were started in the 1960’s, two, individuals lack the characteristic of power and individuality, three, anti-social behavior and the idea that poverty passes from one generation to the next.

Contemporary society, in the context of all of world history, is the best it has ever been, and the time to keep people in poverty has long since passed. Rather than have any benefits, those in poverty over the last several decades have become targets and scapegoats for politicians and businessmen, which is plainly unfair treatment that does more harm than good.

I liked reading your post this week. I agree with you in a lot of things you emphasized. Think about that there are 126 improvement programs. I do not want to believe that these 126 poverty improvement programs have not helped the poverty stop in the United States, and most of the programs have worked properly. I believe that the United States will win over the poverty monster sooner or later with some regulations, changes and improvements, such as more tax collections from the rich people and enterprises. Enterprises! Yes, enterprises! Some of them do not want to pay the regular taxes as they are supposed to do. Why? If they pay regularly without any tax free events, the amount you will pay would help the poverty stop, and at

“There are about 250 millions of adolescent girls live under poverty.” When I first saw this fact, I realized that you and me are actually the ones who are lucky. At the time we complaint about the taste of our food or the style of our clothes, those girls are worried where to get their next meals or what will happen in their futures.

We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty. ~Saint Mother Teresa. Saint Teresa of Calcutta is trying to make known that there are many different kinds of poverty. Many people, when they think about poverty, think about the naked, or the hungry. Poverty is a much larger problem that impacts many more people of all ages. The poverty of not being loved, not being wanted, creates many more problems, that include domestic abuse, homelessness, and helplessness. Poverty in all its forms, existed in the Victorian Era and continues today.

The section about economic support was informative. I thought it was crazy that 7.4 million children have been identified as living in extreme poverty in 2012. I know that poverty in America can be an issue for many families. I never realized that many children were impacted by poverty. I just never thought that many children would experience poverty, because normally I would think about how adults are impacted by poverty. I think it is important to remember that America has around 320 million people. Sometimes being from a small town and going to a smaller college, I can sometimes forget that there are so many people living within the U.S. It is important for me to remember that I don’t see everything that goes on within the U.S. Everyone

The main reason why poverty has not ended for the world in general would be due corruption. For example, America does have programs such a food stamps to the earned-income tax credit and other programs to end poverty, unfortunately it is not possible to be eliminated completely, but we have caused over 4 million people out of poverty (Edelman, 2012). Corruption plays a big role as to why poverty has not ended, because due to this the people who are in need of help from the government are not getting the help due to their income. In the other hand, people who have good paying jobs lie in order to receive food stamps and health care for their families, and quickly get approved as oppose to the families who actually need that financial help.

Poverty is a huge problem nowadays not only in the United states but all throughout the whole world. Poverty is not something that can be fixed easily it takes time and a lot of money. Many people may think they live in poverty but when in reality they have no idea what it feels like to be poor and not have enough. Poverty line is very low and individuals may not realize that. For example in 2015, 47 million people lived in poverty in the USA which means that the poverty rate last year was 15% which also means 2.3 percentage points higher than in 2007. This is the fourth consecutive year that the number of people in poverty has remained unchanged from the previous years,

End poverty by 2015. This is the historic promise 189 world leaders made at the United Nations Millennium Summit in 2000 when they signed onto the Millennium Declaration and agreed to meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The MDGs are an eight-point road map with measurable targets and clear deadlines for improving the lives of the world's poorest people. World leaders have agreed to achieve the MDGs by 2015.

Firstly, we must realize that the definition of poverty is relative, and can be influenced by certain viewpoints and opinions. However, the most common definition of poverty is the condition where people’s basic needs of clothing, food, and shelter are not being met. Some other basic needs include sanitation, water, and health care. This definition is also known as the condition of absolute poverty, and is not up to controversy or impacted by any biases. Poverty has adversely negative
