  • The Pros And Cons Of Poverty Around The World

    881 Words  | 2 Pages

    Many people have different opinions when it comes to dealing with poverty around the world. It is easy for those who live in rich, first world countries to sit back and ignore the problem that is at hand, however it is a better idea to examine the problem and look at possible solutions. Some liberal arguments try to convince people that a world food bank needs to be set up in order to solve the hunger problem on Earth, while others believe that by doing this we are only enabling these poor countries to stay hungry. At first glance, it seems that the obvious and correct way to deal with the situation would be to set up a world food bank. Wouldn’t the rich countries be selfish to not share some of the unneeded wealth that they have acquired? Many groups and organizations have investigated the future impacts of acting in favor or against the poor, and reasoning shows us that certain actions could be devastating. Although it sounds morbid and cruel, setting up a food bank would only bring the world as a whole down.

  • Global Poverty

    570 Words  | 2 Pages

    Peter Singer, in his influential essay “Famine, Affluence and Poverty”, argues that affluent people have the moral obligation to contribute to charity in order to save the poor from suffering; any spending on luxuries would be unjustified as long as it can be used to improve other’s lives. In developing his argument, Singer involves one crucial premise known as the Principle of Sacrifice—“If it is in our power to prevent something bad from happening, without thereby sacrificing anything of comparable moral importance, we ought, morally, to do it” . To show that such principle has the property to be held universal, Singer refers to a scenario in which a person witnesses a drowning child. Most people, by common sense, hold that the witness has the moral duty to rescue the child despite some potential costs. Since letting people die in poverty is no different from watching a child drowning without offering any help, Singer goes on and concludes that affluent people have the moral duty to keep donating to the poor until an increment of money makes no further contribution.

  • Poverty : Poverty And Poverty

    1615 Words  | 4 Pages

    Poverty has been a growing problem in America, and it most likely will never stop being one. Someone who is identified as being in poverty lives beneath the poverty line determined by the Federal government. The poverty line in 2015 for a family of four was $24,250. These are the people who are really considered poor. Poverty isn’t just a problem in the United States; in fact, other countries struggle just as much, if not more, than the United States does. Many people struggle to keep themselves above the government’s poverty line, shown by the fact that the percent of poor people in America hasn’t drastically changed over the years. However, it is possible to get out of, and ultimately stay out of, poverty.

    Nearly 50,000 people, including 30,000 children, die each day due to poverty-related problems and preventable disease in underdeveloped Countries. That doesn’t include the other millions of people who are infected with AIDS and other incurable diseases. Especially those living in Sub-Saharan Africa (70%), or “the Third-World,” and while we fight to finish our homework, children in Africa fight to survive without food, or clean water. During the next few paragraphs I will give proof that poverty and disease are the two greatest challenges facing under developed countries.

  • Issue of Poverty in the World

    1751 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Irish Government's National Action Plan for Social Inclusion 2007 defines poverty as: "People are living in poverty if their income and resources (material, cultural and social) are so inadequate as to preclude them from having a standard of living which is regarded as acceptable by society generally. As a result of inadequate income and other resources people may be excluded and marginalized from participating in activities which are considered the norm for other people in society." Based on this definition, we learn that people are living in poverty if they do not have enough money to do the things which are considered basic for human’s life. Some of them could be not having enough money to buy food for family, or not being able to afford to heat their home in winter… However, poverty is more than not having enough money for material things. It can also mean that people don't have money for social activities, and this may lead people feeling cut off from the society since they can not afford for the participation (www.neoperspectives.com/poverty)

  • The Epidemic Of Global Poverty

    1070 Words  | 3 Pages

    Poverty has always been an issue the world is looking to solve. People in modern society are often caught up with the newest cars or the latest clothing trends and often take for granted the luxuries we are able to afford. Sure, it’s easy to donate money here and there or toss your loose change in the bucket to give to the less fortunate. But then we go back into our daily routine - oblivious to the world around us. A cell phone in today’s society has become a necessity while there are still people that do not have shoes to wear or clean water to drink, so the fifteen cents you dropped in the bucket outside the Macy’s isn’t going to do much to provide the basic necessities of life to the impoverished population. According to Maslow’s Hierarchy

    Poverty, also know as the “silent killer” (Causes of Poverty), exists in every corner of the world. The death rate of poor children is a staggering number; about 9 million die each year. Some view poverty as people not being able to afford an occupational meal or having to skip a meal to save money. This isn’t true poverty; poverty is where people live on $1.25 or less a day. According to Causes of Poverty, 1.4 billion people live like this. Even more shocking than the last statistic is that half of the world’s population lives on $2.50 per day.

    As developed countries quench their thirsts for petrol, developing countries around the world are left behind, force to watch on without any help from the outside community. Being poor means to be disadvantaged in every single way. It means not being able to support yourself or your family or have the basic necessity to life. Without substantial help for these helpless people then we should be feeling guilty that we are living lives far better than what others are experiencing. Poverty may because by wars, disease or lack of education and infrastructure and the resulting consequences may be hunger, starvation, crime and ultimately death. If poverty is not eradicated then injustice will continue, increasing death tolls and lives.

    Causes and Solutions of World Poverty Poverty is prevalent throughout the world around us. We watch television and see famous people begging us to sponsor a child for only ten dollars a month. We think in our own minds that ten dollars is only pocket change, but to those children and their families, that ten dollars is a large portion of their annual income. We see images of starving children in far away countries, and our hearts go out to them. But we really do not know the implications of poverty, why it exists, or even what we can do to help combat this giant problem in our world.
