    Throughout the course of modern history, many academics and policymakers have all proposed various methods to eradicate poverty. Because each of these suggestions is unique, not all of them agree on a common approach to tackle poverty or hold the same views on the subject. For example, Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, director of The Earth Institute at Columbia University insists that poverty in impoverished nations can be eradicated by investing foreign aid in development and technology in order to stimulate growth and allow people to exit the vicious poverty trap (Scientific American, 2005). On the other hand, Dr. William Easterly of New York University argues that such aid does not in any way provide for sustainable growth and is in fact a small piece of a much larger picture in which the rights of people afflicted with poverty are not respected (The Wall Street Journal, 2014). However, despite many conflicting views, the focus of a large majority of these proposals and a recurring theme is: stimulating human…

    The late Nelson Mandela said it best. “Does anybody really think that they didn’t get what they had because they had because they didn’t have the talent or strength or endurance or the commitment.” All of what Mandela mentions plays a major part of my life as well as family, religious beliefs, and most importantly my cultural background. My name is Markievy H.E Johnson. I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas in a subdivision some would like to call Woodtown. My middle name is just an abbreviation which symbolize both of my grandfather’s name, Herman and Emmit. What is abnormally interesting is that neither of these men are my biological grandfathers, but however all I knew growing up.…

    Helping poor people is ethical behavior and everyone should do it in order to continue our lives. Every year, there are millions of people at risk of going hungry. There are ways people can end poverty all around the world. People can eliminate poverty if we work together to fight it and avoid selfishness. Rich countries often give financial aid to poor countries, but it does not solve poverty. People always say they feel sorry for poor people and the rich love them, but they never do their part. People do not prevent themselves from buying things that are not necessary to them. That money could be donated to people who are in need of it. There are many people in rich countries living a luxurious life, while others in poor countries are starving but cannot find anything to eat. People in rich countries are buying more than their needs. For example, many teenagers in developed countries have more than one video game. People also buy too much clothes that they are not using.…

    Many third world countries are faced by the challenges of poverty and unproductivity of land. The survival of the people who live in such nations depends mostly on aid from developed countries. There is a fact about the developed countries that needs to be addressed before the aid is delivered to the poverty stricken nations. The developed countries have gained that title due to the fact that they are way too ahead in terms of technology and industrialization. The returns they get from both domestic and foreign trade are redirected on further investment. Incase other nations faced by catastrophes; these returns are used to cover those in need of help. The intervention by these developed nations is a form of quick measures to calming situations down. Back at home, it is funny how the citizens from such nations struggle to make ends meet. Once foreign help is delivered to the nations that are faced by natural, human, or climatic catastrophes the people living in those countries assume that the aid comes from very rich countries.…

    More than 800 million people fall asleep starving every day, and 300 million of those 800 are only children. Poverty is a global crisis, something that affects many in a horrible way. “Poverty is going empty, with no hope for the future. Poverty is like watching your mother father, brothers and sisters die in pain and in sorrow just because they couldn’t get something to eat.” Poverty has been around for ages, and will always be around. It is always there and will always be a problem. It could have been avoided, and can be treated if we follow the Gospels. The Gospels have many parables and teachings about the poor, and we can link that to poverty today.…

    Poverty is an increasing problem in our world today. A report by the National Welfare found that 17.2 percent of Canadians live below the poverty line in 1998. It is however, measured differently in developing and developed countries. People who struggle financially in countries like Canada or even the United States, when compared to people living in third world countries are considered above the poverty line. Income at developing countries falls at less than one dollar per person a day, which led to an estimation that 1.3 billion people lived below the poverty line. Even so, third world countries may not have the same opportunities and probabilities first world country get. Say, the homeless and illiterate ones in developing countries who…
