explanatory Essay
1223 words
Often times wealthier nations see poorer nations as a sort of buffet. They take what they need or want, when they need/want it, leaving all the rest, with no plans of replenishing the supply. The poorer nations are left without the resources to replenish what was taken and have barely if anything left for themselves. This is seen as an “exploitive” relationship that often results in war. The dependency theory is a very different approach than the others. It offers great insight into a concept that is often overlooked, however, this theory risks being too narrow.

The problem lies behind simple financial status, it extends across many dimensions. Each of the theories provide a different perspective on the issue of poverty. When viewing poverty through the scope of the realism theory one must first examine how power plays a role in poverty. Those who are impoverished typically have very little perceived power in every meaning of the word. If you change that from an individual viewpoint, to look at an entire nation that is impoverished, the same applies, but on a much larger scale. Impoverished nations, typically hold very little power in the international system. Therefore, from the realism viewpoint, they are of little importance. They are not typically a threat militarily or socially. However, there is a strong desire in the realism view for balance and order in the international system and an impoverished nation with an unpredictable economy could be seen as a …show more content…
People, especially those from wealthy nations, do not truly understand how large of a problem poverty is and how many areas it effects. Not only does it cause economical issues, but it can contribute to social and security issues as well. Some believe that it is impossible to truly solve the crisis of global poverty, while others simply cannot agree upon the best way to go about it. The Sustainable Development Goals that have just been implemented aim to end extreme poverty by the year 2030. This is a comprehensive plan that aims to address all root causes of poverty.

For the purposes of this goal, extreme poverty is considered those that live on or under $1.25 a day. There has been an influx of data on poverty ever since the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals in 1990. The debate, however, still exists on the effectiveness of the analysis of this data as well as actual ways in which poverty is actually measured. Skeptics have criticized everything from the types of polls and surveys used to collect the data, to the legitimacy of the reports from the countries producing them. Overall, there is much debate about how many people actually fall into the category of poverty, and
