Poverty is defined in many ways. The dictionary definition simply does not suffice to show the human cost of poverty. Poverty is much more than the limited capital resources that this definition suggests. Poverty is defined by the federal government as 16,660 for a family of four in 1998 (“Child Poverty in the United States” 2000).

Structural violence is a big factor in American History. I would even go as far as saying the country that I live in was built on, and is ran by structural violence.
