As one looks around the world, one can see the many problems that lie around in the world. One problem that still lies around in the world is genocide. Genocide has been around for as long as one could trace back. Germany and Rwanda are one of the many countries that have had cases of genocide. In Germany, there had been the Holocaust, and in Rwanda, there had been a rivalry between two tribes. Like genocide, another major problem that still can be seen in the world is poverty. Currently, Algeria is one of many countries that deal with poverty because of its recent independence movement from France. In the rural areas, one can see a solution to this problem is to forge alliances with many rich countries so that constant trade can provide Algeria resources and money. Algeria had broken its chains from France in the year 1962 (Jones 11). Since its independence movement, there has been internal conflict, which also refers to how poverty deepened and the unemployment occurring in the rural areas of Algeria. (“Rural Poverty in…” 4). Throughout the years, Algeria slowly developed a state of poverty. Causes of poverty in Algeria is the recent independence movement from France, the constant drought, and lack of income (Jones 11; “Rural Poverty in…” 4). Since its independence movement, Algeria had been trying to address the problem publicly by sending Mourad Medelci to Britain in 2012. Mourad Medelci was the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Currently, he is not in office due to old age, but he had worked to help bring Algeria out of poverty (“Algerian FM Visits UK” 1; “Mourad Medelci on…” 1). Medelci visited the British parliament, opening an address concerning internal conflicts in Algeria (“Mourad Medelci on…” 1). Other sources also say ... ... middle of paper ... ...Algeria in their situation. By understanding how Algeria became poor, one can formulate a solution as to how to bring or help bring Algeria out of poverty. Algeria is still working to become a nation that their citizens could be proud of. Foreign ministers, such as Mourad Medici, exemplifies such action to help his nation become greater. Poverty in Algeria is not a matter to be avoided and hidden. The fact that poverty had arisen in Algeria is a great problem. Countries in the world are all connected in some way whether they be rivals or allies. Either way, poverty in Algeria can impact either ally or rival, so countries and people must be aware of this problem. Students can be impacted by observing and learning about the poverty of not only Algeria but other nations in the way that they can be a generation that can solve and prevent similar problems from happening.

    Several contributing factors can be viewed as reasons for crime. Depending on the circumstances, it can sometimes be very difficult to resist the temptation to commit a crime. It is even harder when you are coming from a place where crime is considered to be a normal part of society and looked at as a way of daily living that is supposed to be incorporated into daily lifestyles, hence the city we are not too far from: Fresno. In fact, by having a city or group of cities nearby where violence, crime, and gangs are abundant, it has given me an incentive to dig deeper into this issue. Now the question can be posed: What is the significance of crime in areas where poverty is present? True, this is not an easy question to answer considering that crime happens for many different reasons and sometimes location is not the problem. The origin of crime date back to the beginning of man, and the thing is it will never be stopped, as it is almost a part of human nature nowadays. But for now, we must study how crime and poverty are linked to one another, and what other contributing factors influence the effect of crime where poverty is relevant.

    1. Poverty affects people even when they are unaware. The lack of possession or even money can become a tremendous burden on individuals as well as communities and societies. Sadly, many states within America are impoverished based simply upon the race and ethnicity makeup of the area. I feel that poverty in the United States is similar to many of the countries featured in Half the Sky because of the lack of information people seem to have when it comes to their housing and even how to handle money in terms of “smart” spending. Many countries, including the United States, need better education for how to end or combat poverty. The short chapter “Study Abroad,” specifically in the Congo, deals with poverty and the youth’s recommendations for

    Many who do not know about the consequences of being sold and the kind of life they have to live afterwards, send their daughters off to strangers, or sometimes even marry them off with the hope of getting rid of the chronic poverty that has been bringing them down to their knees, unknowing of the severity of atrocities they sent in their children for. After succeeding in alluring and convincing the heads in the family, the traffickers trade women to various places including city of Mumbai in India and sometimes to the Middle East, also. People have a perception that there are well paying jobs available in the Middle East, therefore, a lot of them get enthused about being employed overseas and become willing to take almost any risk to secure a job in the Middle Eastern labor market (Paul, Kanti and Hasnath). All their hopes turn into despair when they are made to face with the bitter reality of the purpose they were brought in for. Some are sold to certain red-light areas for sexual exploitation, and some are turned into domestic servants or circus entertainers, while others are made to work as child soldiers.

    This past election brought a wave of tension across Algeria due to the fact that there were high numbers of “voting” in favor of Bouteflika, but opposing political parties show evidence of the voting system being rigged in favor of Bouteflika winning another presidential term. Another policy that the government has promised to bring the country to a more consolidated form of government was the changes made in the new constitution, but rather “the new constitution will not fundamentally alter the balance of power” like they had promised to do. Without a change of the balance of power, Algeria will remain the same making no strides to improvements of their economy. This issue plays hand in hand with another issue that is on the rise due to Algeria not making serious strides to changing the polices that they have promised, The president still remains extremely powerful and still concentrates all the power in his hands. This does not balance out the power like seen in a democracy using the United States as an

    In conclusion, one has to say that poverty is something an undeveloped country could fall into easily, however would have a difficult time coming out of. The main cause of Ethiopia’s poverty is it’s extractive political and economical institutions. If there is a chance for Ethiopia to become a more developed country with less poverty, then it has to find realistic and efficient solutions for the problems, and changes the system of the institutions to create a working incentive to the people. However if Ethiopia continues walking down the road of improvement, it will experience great results in it’s future and might actually become a MEDC (more economically developed country) some day.

  • Poverty Essay

    Poverty is not having the money to meet a human’s basic needs. It’s the lack of shelter and education. It’s having poor health because you don’t have the money or transportation to access a doctor. It’s parents not being able to send their kids to birthday parties, or on school field trips (WhatisPoverty.com). There are two horrible types of poverty. The first type is absolute poverty. This type is extremely life threatening. It is when a person does not have the necessities to survive like food, water, shelter, and sometimes even clothing. Undeveloped countries in Africa, and Asia have a high percentage of this kind of poverty. These people often get less than $1.25 a day. The second type is relative poverty. This is when a single person or a whole family doesn’t have as many resources or as much money as the people around them. It is comparing where you live, how much money you have, etc. to the other people in your society. Poverty is not always obvious, you don’t have to be homeless to be in poverty (Lusted 8-10).
