Jodi Atwal Leech Eng 1A Essay 1 28 September 2011 Poverty: Shaping a nation of it’s own. Poverty has been around forever in every corner of the world; it is just that many of us here in America might have not noticed it as much until the last decade or so. Sure enough poverty is growing, and it isn’t taking its sweet little time at all. Is there a safe explanation for this that cannot be proven false? Many may argue that the falling economy and the wealthy not wanting to share their shares is to blame for the raising rates of poverty here in the states.
During an emergency situation, like hurricane Katrina, a social system would be best because everyone affected would receive assistance no matter what. Everyone who is affected is given the same treatment during an emergency. They are provided with whatever is needed like food, shelter, or financial help. Non-profit organizations are a big factor because with financial backing from the government they can help assist those in need also. A socialist system is best in responding to those in need during the earthquake in Haiti because everyone affected needs assistance regardless of class or if they can’t afford to survive after their loss.
We want to inspire homeless people so that they really want to come into a hostel run by The Salvation Army, and leave us having found a renewed hope and sense of purpose to their life. Their policy states that they are more than just providing a roof over someone's head.

The middle class was nearly non-existent. This occurs often in the world, but the Great Depression was the worst economic downfall in the history of the U.S. It spread and affected all of the industrialized world. The depression began with Black Tuesday, and lasted for nearly a decade. According to Paul Alexander Gusmorino, the main cause of the drastic downfall was the combination of unequal distribution of wealth and the extensive stock market speculation that took place in the later years of that decade.
In my opinion, we have so many low income older individuals and the help should really be focus on them, why? Simply because if a person works for over 25-30 years invested with a company and retires but only has an income of about 800- 1200 a month to live off is, is just injustice. Poverty affects us all, taxes, food costs, stress, even at times poverty becomes deadly. Because crime has taken an increase, poverty struggles and strife’s has led people to cope with how to deal with situations. Economically women appears to be more impoverished than men, as some would state that the independence of men is rested on the shoulders on today’s’ women(but that’s another topic).
Why should we care about child poverty in the UK? The United Kingdom is one of the richest countries in the world; I always thought poverty was a disease often linked with Third World and developing countries, where the result is often death from starvation or curable disease.

There are many different reasons for child poverty. Apart from the main direct cause like unemployment, poverty in our society today is the low paid, lone parents and children.

Social Inequality As we go throughout life, we began to not look at social inequality like we use to. Although social inequality is improving over the years, inequality is still easily seen today and many people fail to realize that it is still an issue. Many people who do not think we still have social inequality are the ones who live above the poverty line, and are usually supplied with society’s benefits, unlike the unlucky ones. Not only do the rich have most of the money, but they also receive the most schooling, have the best health, and consume the most goods and services. These privileges contrasts clearly with the poverty of millions of women and men who worry about money to pay a doctor, pay rent, even just putting food on the table for their families.
It goes without saying; we are significantly influenced by history. History has affected our media, our music, our fashion, and many other things. There are many things that are more important than the luxuries we enjoy that history has influenced, such as our life choices. Throughout history we have learned from other peoples’ mistakes and people benefit by using others to push themselves higher at the expense of that person. For example, common sense says that most people who dropped out of high school, abused illegal substances, and do not have an education higher than 10th grade, did not end up to be the next CEO and president of the most successful Fortune 500 company to date.
