1. The esteros are the place where illegal settlers base their homes because it is the cheapest way to own a house. Poverty is one of the causes why illegal settlers set up their “barong-barongs” along the esteros. And for that reason alone, and also due to the malpractice of the people living there, they throw their wastes along the running waters of the estero. And it results to the clogging of the areas that the running waters should run.

2. Having dumpsites near the major cities is a very bad idea. Just the thought that you live near the place your dump all your wastes are just bad. It’s like eating where you shit. I am imposing this being a bad idea in the sense that it has been done before like in Quezon City. They made Payatas a dumpsite; where they throw all the waste from almost all the cities around the region to one place. And it did not end happily. Sometime ago, the famous Payatas dumpsite crash down or had a landslide that killed a lot of people. And as for the effect? Just remember the day that this incident occurred.

3. Ah the urban poor. The number one cause of this is the lack of education. Actually, this country can suffice the needs of the people when it comes to education. The only problem is those people who want to learn. They lack the urge to learn and educate themselves. And for that reason, they blame the government. And what does the government do? They spoon feed these people. This is just a thought, why are the foreigners the ones who achieve success and not us? Maybe because they work hard on the things they want to achieve I guess. The reason is they think outside their comfort zone. While the urban poor work hard to live to suffice their everyday needs. That’s not a good practice.

4. Illegal logging is well, illegal of course. You can’t deny the fact that even though the government put so much effort in stopping these practice, they still manage to do it. Actually, I really don’t know the cause of illegal

    All over the world, disparities between the rich and poor, even in the wealthiest of nations is rising sharply. Fewer people are becoming increasingly “successful” and wealthy while a disproportionately larger population is also becoming even poorer. There are many issues involved when looking at poverty. It is not simply enough (or correct) to say that the poor are poor due to their own (or their government’s) bad governance and management. In fact, you could quite easily conclude that the poor are poor because the rich are rich and have the power to enforce trade agreements, which favor their interests more than the poorer nations. The book, The Bonfire of the Vanities by Tom Wolfe, illustrates clearly…

    # 1Because the poor can not get their basic needs for life, they cannot improve their well-being; therefore, our society as a whole cannot efficiently move in new directions. Studies by the International Center for Eradicating Poverty show that in third world countries the primary cause of poverty stems from the effects of natural disasters, the lack of uniform infrastructure, corruption, centralized government power, lack of knowledge, employment skills, education and resources.…

    Why are the majority of America’s citizens in poverty? Why can’t they get out? These questions can be fully assessed but is there a real solution? “You know, Mom, being poor is very expensive.” (Sandy Brash, at age twelve) (p.13). this quote sums the book up very nicely and helps explain some ideas more clearly. Many people struggle with their day to day lives as if they’re just trying to survive out in society. Many of these low classes to middle class citizens needs’ go unfulfilled on a monthly basis and their day’s most likely gets worse as the progress. In America today, 80% of its citizens are low class workers facing poverty but what you wouldn’t expect, is that some are actually happy with their living arrangements. Being poor has its down falls, there are many contributing factors that bring people down but these can actually help an individual or family rise above poverty.…

    Child Poverty In America

    The hierarchy of America’s economic status is shaped exactly how it is set up. The top being a small section for affluence, the middle a developed comfortable social class and the bottom is the majority which is lower-class and poverty stricken individuals. There are many factors than can influence why a person is impoverished. Poverty is a globalized disadvantage that stems from circumstances such as birth, the environment one lives in, one’s education level, demographic, and many other causes. Many argue that, to fix poverty one must start within their household. However, I believe that systematic poverty beings upstairs, due to our government's inability to effectively regulate funds through our country which has fallen down on the lower…

    In these areas, most educations are not academically strong. Lack of education can affect our economy, but also their families, and the cycle of poverty. When kids in impoverished countries do not gain an education, it can turn out to actually hurt our economy. To illustrate, According to Rob Grunewald an economist, thirty percent of children do not graduate from high school. These children are more likely to go to prison or enroll in welfare programs. Since these kids who do not graduate or go to high school are more likely to commit crimes that then causes the government to have to put more money towards people not following the law. With many kids not getting the education they need or is required it is hard for them then to maintain stable income for not only themselves, but also their…

    There are many theories to explain the continual cause of poverty throughout the United States. Some profess the reasoning for poverty is the attitude and generational norms that tend to repeat themselves for groups under the poverty line. Others believe the economy and unequal distribution of power is the cause, while still others pinpoint the origin as coming from racism and discrimination against a people group. The following examines three specific factors, the population growth in comparison to economic growth, the low technology issue in poverty stricken areas, as well as successful members leaving the communities, to explain the cause and contributions that bring about poverty in America.…

    In order to interpret the causes of poverty in America, we must first understand how poverty is defined. AFor most Americans, the word >poverty= suggests destitution: an inability to provide a family with nutritious food, clothing, and reasonable shelter@ (Rector, par 2). The issue is not that poverty is defined too broadly, it is that many people do not understand that our socioeconomic structure means you must make much more money just to survive. Poverty use to be Aconsidered a responsibility of society as a whole . . . Now poverty is often blamed on the poor and on the system of government support created to help them@ (Stengel, par 5). Is our over materialistic society to blame? Society seems to Ahave sought to convince us that in addition to the basic human needs of air, water, food and shelter, we all have a fifth human need for novelty@ (Sine 89).…

    In America today what are the causes of poverty? When asked that question at first it was tough to answer. We live in a nation that is so rich and full of so many recourses and opportunities to offer people. How is it possible that in a nation as great as America, could we even have “poverty”? The truth is, it is out there and growing faster than we think. In my opinion, the most common and stereotypic explanation is that the poor cause their own poverty; based on the perception that anything is possible in America. Some have accused the poor of having little concern for the future. Others have accused the poor of engaging in self defeating behavior. Still others have characterized the poor as resigning themselves to a culture of poverty in which nothing can be done to change their economic outcomes. In this culture of poverty which passes from generation to generation the poor feel negative, inferior, passive, hopeless, and powerless. Another reason why there is poverty in America today is that poverty has to do with the flight of the middle class, including employers, from the cities and into the suburbs. This has limited the opportunities for the inner city poor to find adequate jobs. Minimum wage jobs are not strong enough to support families when it comes to income and living over the poverty line. For instance, as the country shifts from a manufacturing to a service economy, wages have been dramatically lowered…

    ERIC TOUSSAINT says that the key point of the beginning such mass poverty is the date, 1492. When Europeans started to go out to explore some new lands to satisfy their needs, they not only explored new lands but also made those inventions and everything, including natural resources and people, in it as their property. And it is called colonialism. As the result, national economy of the land had a fin. The population just became the property of the great empires and people worked for only feeding themselves, their families, in other words from the empire`s view, they contributed a lot to the development of the empires. But the colonialism, we can see today had brought very negative consequences.…
