Summary: During the last few years poverty has been steadily decreasing because of improvements in education,health, and social safety nets. The percentage has been decreasing by about 3% each year. BY the end of 2015 , the world will have less than 10% of people suffering from poverty.
Analysis: Its wonderful that the poverty rate is know surely below 10% but it would also be wonderful if it was below 5%. At the rate of improvements , only 3% of people actually overcome poverty. If more countries set us funds or organizations to help the amount of poverty stricken people, we could help decline the amount quicker. Funds could be made through non-profits or donations. I believe that just letting new schools get set up over time or just letting time heal theses communities from poverty wont do a single thing at all for these people. The time is now for them. they arnt thinking about the future, their thinking about what their going to eat tonight. They are worrying today and not tomorrow. How can we expect them to wait years, when they cant wait to eat?
Hopefully the world will be poverty-free sooner than expected so that these people can finish their chicken nuggets in peace.
ReplyDeleteIf we can do anything to help the poverty level we should. Something we should look at is how we can help others and how that will affect the relationships people have with each other in the future. - Juliet Nelson 9

ReplyDeleteMatthew Homsher 9th- That's great news for the world, and we should strive to decrease poverty here in America to contribute to the ongoing decrease in poverty worldwide.
