Why can’t people feed themselves? As of today, third world countries do not have access to the high-quality land to feed themselves. The plentiful land they once owned has been ruined. Unfortunately, due to clear cutting by plantations many years ago, the soil has no nutrients left. “Colonialism destroyed the cultural patterns of production and exchange by which traditional societies in “underdeveloped” countries previously had met the needs of people.”(Lappe, p.184) Furthermore, the useable land that is left is not available to them.
Over time the currency lost its value due to inflation which devastated colonial economies. The lack of effective currency prevented an adequate form of payment to Continental soldiers, which influenced the Revolutionary War and led to Shay’s rebellion.

Martin Luther King’s campaigns in the North were less successful than those in the South because of a number of reasons. Such as; lack of support, violence, Martin Luther King’s reputation, lack of media attention, the Chicago freedom rides, the Moynihan report and social and economic problems. The most significant reason why Martin Luther King’s campaigns were less successful in the North was the lack of media attention due to the reaction the people gave to those who were campaigning. The South was a lot more segregated and the people were more racist which meant that they gave a more extreme reaction. The North was segregated although nowhere near as strongly as the South.

The South’s population was slow on the ride and the talk of abolitions and the end of slavery was not good news to them. They we’re losing control on the part of their government, and they blamed it all on president Lincoln. The South was doomed basically from the beginning before president Lincoln came into the picture. The south was in ruins, economy destroy by the blockade, and major hyperinflation.

A popular theory among Europeans, called Social Darwinism, was that those who were fittest for survival enjoyed wealth and success and considered better than others. According to this theory, Africans were considered to be on lower scale of cultural and physical development, because they hadn’t made as much modern progress as the Europeans. Various factors were conducive to the Europeans’ acquisition of Africa. One compelling advantage was the Europeans’ technological supremacy. The Europeans had steam engines to transport them, and automatic guns to defend them.
Because “The Negro was born in depression”, they had always been poor no matter how blooming the economy was. Though things were worse for Terry’s family, Burke and Benton’s situation were better. They got more free food in the Great Depression, but white men would not allow themself to do like them. Clifford Burke said, “The American white man has been superior so long, he can’t figure out why he should come down”.

Economic factors such as poverty and the economic outlook of the country have also continuously influenced access to health care throughout history. During the Pre-Christian eras, the lack of wealth among the populations of Europe would have been a massive economic influence on access to health care. The disproportionate spread of wealth would have insured that very few lower class citizens would have had the means to receive proper medical treatment (Jamieson, Sewall, & Suhrie, 1966). Centuries later, America’s Great Depression of the 1930s led to the
Besides, entrepreneurship act as a pathway to solve poverty by helping them creating their own business (Bruton et al., 2013). Research showed that the poverty problem has shown slow pace improvement through the efforts they performed. So, poverty is absolutely not an irreversible and unavoidable fact of life. The problem for that most of the policies didn’t work successful as expected is that the fact that households and individuals cannot be equated in poverty analysis is still far from being accepted universally. Poor individuals in non-poor households are completely excluded from any policy intervention that targets only on poor households.
