3. Poverty: A Cry From Around the World
Scanga 1
Source What is poverty? Poverty is hunger. Poverty is lack of shelter. Poverty is being sick and not being able to see a doctor. Poverty is not having access to school and not knowing how to read. Poverty is not having a job, and is fear for the future, living one day at a time. Poverty is losing a child to illness brought about by unclean water. Poverty is powerlessness, lack of representation and freedom. Poverty is affecting thousands of humans around the world everyday, it isn 't sparing anyone of a certain race, age or gender sweeping through the the world, leaving people on welfare, and without homes, or cars. A life of poverty is a difficult and psychologically draining experience. While no one wants to be poor, many people never rise above poverty …show more content…
because there are many barriers to achieving a life of financial security, especially during tough economic times. Poverty is the state for the majority of the world 's people and nations, research shows “nearly 1/2 of the world’s population — more than 3 billion people — live on less than $2.50 a day. More than 1.3 billion live in extreme poverty, that 's less than $1.25 a day.” There is no fail-safe or guaranteed strategy for escaping from poverty, but one thing is for certain: if you don 't try, you won 't succeed. Not only does poverty affect the way you live, but it sets a pathway to a child 's life or the next generation coming. Children experiencing poverty is an environment that is damaging to their mental, physical, emotional and spiritual development. A look at the history will be explored in this essay by looking at statistics, and an explanation of what poverty really is. Lastly how Canada is dealing with poverty affecting over three million Canadians, including 600,000 children. Which is hard to believe but the rate of poverty in Canada, is at an all time high even though “Canada is among the highest of the OECD member nations, and one of the world 's wealthiest industrialized nations, as well as officially ranks an impressive 4th on the UN Human Development Index.” Scanga 2 Imagine searching through heaping piles of refuse at landfills, looking for anything that could seem partly edible, to satisfy an unending hunger. Many people around the world face this situation every day of their lives. One of the greatest causes of poverty is the history of the country, many of the poorest nations in the world were either former colonies, or even slave territories, and with its legacies that have been created. It can prevent many from accessing land, or education that allow people to support themselves. War and political instability could also be a factor for majority of nations being in poverty, whatever the reason or cause for war, without safety, stability, and security in a nation or country there is room for economic growth. Without those basics and natural resources no amount of education or talent will allow people to work and support their families. “It is a telling sign that the poorest countries in the world have all experienced civil war and serious political upheaval at some point in the 20th century, and many of them have weak governments that cannot or do not protect people against violence.”
National debt in poor countries carry significant debt loads due to loans from wealthier nations and international financial institutions. “Poorer nations pay an average of $2.30 in debt service for every $1 received in grant aid.” Natural disasters is something no one can plan for, natural disasters can pose a significant obstacle to growing poverty. The effects of flooding in Bangladesh, the drought in the Horn of Africa and the 2005 earthquake in Haiti are all examples of the ways that natural disasters can prove to be devastating to large portions of affected countries. In each of these cases, already impoverished people became refugees within their own countries, losing what little they had, being forced out of their living spaces and becoming almost completely dependent on others for survival. Scanga 3 Poverty is a societal problem. The way in which a society develops in terms of its economy, is its educational institutions, and its social programs often creates the environment that can cause or prevent poverty. This is of course, when poverty is talked in general, on a large or national scale as rather to just individual cases and examples of poverty. There are individuals who live in poverty because they have made poor choices, or lack the personal characteristics or resolve to find and take advantage of opportunities to lift themselves out of poverty. But society is responsible for making sure those opportunities exist and are available to the poor. “A major factor determining whether someone will end up living in poverty or not is the education level they have receive or skill level they hold, it can make or break an income. Education plays an important role in searching for jobs, and learning new skill.” An individual who doesn 't receive an education for example in a third world or developing country has a small chance of making much money and getting the skills that would bring home a reasonable income. Those who don 't have a well education bring their family into a cycle of poverty for years to come.
“Good governance implies a capacity to turn public income into human development outcomes.
Good governance is an essential pre-condition for pro-poor growth as it establishes the enabling regulatory and legal framework essential for the sound functioning of land, labor, capital and other factor markets.” At times, personal bad decisions made by people aren 't the reason they are stuck in poverty but lack of government leadership could be the reason. Failure to differentiate between the bad decisions people make and the bad environments within which poor people often make decisions has had dealing with the consequences for our understanding of inequality. No politician or elected official will ever accept responsibility for addressing poverty. Unfortunately, the government support received or availability of programs that are intended to help out those in need does not nearly meet the demand for them. Many get eliminated altogether when budgets get stressed, even if there is much that governments can directly do to reduce poverty. What is missing is the political demand for anti-poverty action.

Poverty and poor health worldwide are linked in many ways, the causes of poor health for millions globally are rooted in political, social, and economic ways. “Poor health in turn traps communities in poverty. Infectious and neglected tropical diseases kill and weaken millions of the poorest and most vulnerable people each year.” HIV, diarrhea, tuberculosis and malaria, as well as communicable respiratory diseases such as pneumonia kill the most people. “Diarrhea, pneumonia and malaria account for nearly half of all child deaths globally. Tropical diseases affect over one billion people, almost all in the poorest communities.” Diseases such as leprosy, lymphatic filariasis, onchocerciasis, schistosomiasis, soil-transmitted helminths and trachoma, but they can cause severe pain and life-long disabilities – and mean enormous productivity losses. Lives lost mean reduced economic productivity as well as personal tragedy. Productivity is further slowed while people are ill or caring for others. “In heavily affected countries billions of dollars of economic activity are lost each year as a result of illness and death from HIV, TB and malaria.” This can seriously reduce economic growth in countries that are already struggling. The effects of poverty are far reaching, and touch all people in society. Evidence tells us that the effects of “poverty and inequality cause worse social and health outcomes for everyone in society, not just those at the bottom.” This means that as a society, not only are we paying for poverty in numbers, but the the wellbeing of the community as a whole as well. Scanga 5 “Approximately half the world’s population lives on less than $2 per day and many are too busy struggling to survive to consider education a priority.” Lack of access to quality education is preventing millions of people from escaping the cycle of extreme poverty around the world. “Most of the 58 million children still out of school are some of the poorest and hardest to reach. More than half of them are girls, and most are living in countries in conflict and in rural areas.” Although many governments have eliminated the biggest obstacle to enrollment by abolishing school fees, other financial barriers such as uniforms and exam fees, or even buying materials still prevent many of the poorest children from going to school. Education is one of the most powerful tools to reduce poverty, although today, it is girls who have the least access to education. “They make up more than 54% of the non-schooled population in the world.” This problem occurs mostly in Arab States, in central Asia and in Southern and Western Asia and is explained by the cultural and traditional privileged treatment given to males. Girls are destined to work in the family home, whereas boys are entitled to receive an education. Everyone wants to end poverty in the world, but many do not live up to our duty to each other to meet that goal. The are poor is forgotten, they are ignored, or some just are not sure how to help. In light of this, a couple of suggestions to help you easily do your part to end poverty in your neighborhood and even worldwide. Start off by sparing some change, if every person that was well off gave a buck or two a week, it would go a long way in helping feeding and clothing the poverty worldwide, any bit can make a difference. In developed countries, there are many orphans left alone to fend for themselves. These children usually lack shelter, food, clothing, clean water and many more essential items. Give these children the opportunity to go to school and make something of themselves but sponsoring them, for example with the “Zakata Foundation of America” which reaches out to children in need through a sponsorship program. Not all can afford to donate, but donating time to help other makes a difference as well. Volunteer at a local homeless shelter, food pantry, or soup kitchen in town, as well as donate cans to a local food bank or clothes that don 't fit. Lastly spread the word, encourage friends and neighbors to do the same, mention how together poverty can be stopped once and for all. Another idea is cleaning up cities. And by that, getting rid of crime and such, not picking up trash. Again, in the ghetto, where poverty is common, many kids are forced into a gang life, which pretty much destroys any chance of a successful future through education by giving them a chance to make something of themselves. Scanga 6
Certain population groups in Canada are more likely than others to live in poverty or to be at risk of living in poverty. This is particularly true of “single parents (particularly women); unattached individuals (mainly those aged 45-64), persons with work-limiting disabilities; recent immigrants, particularly refugees (who came to Canada within the past 10 years); and Aboriginal people.” In “2012, a record breaking 872,379 Canadians used food banks each month, the highest level of food bank usage ever. In 2012 the number was only slightly lower at 833,098– which is still 23% above the 2008 levels (Hunger Count 2013).” Not only is the visitation of food banks high for Canadians, “as many as 200,000 Canadians will experience homelessness each year, according from a recent report from the Canadian Homelessness Research Network.” On any given night, about “30,000 Canadians are homeless.” Debt levels are also on a rise, last month, Statistics Canada reported that the Canadian household debt-to-income ratio had climbed to a new high of 163.4 per cent — in other words, the average Canadian owes $1.63 for every dollar they earn. Scanga 7 Now that the statistics are out for Canada, the next question is: how is property being dealt with? Everyone has a part to play in responding to poverty. This includes individuals, voluntary and charitable organizations, faith communities, labour unions, businesses and other organizations, and governments. A popular organization based in Ottawa, called “Canada Without Poverty” (CWP) came to surface in 1971 as non-profit organization with its mission statement stating “Poverty is a violation of human rights. We work to address the structural causes of poverty by raising awareness, educating and inspiring others to support its eradication in Canada.” In Canada not only are there non-profit organizations helping out by raising money, many cities have soup kitchens where people can stop in for a quick meal given from volunteers as well as emergency shelter beds for those cold Canadian nights. For example another great organization for housing is the Covenant House located in Toronto, which opens doors for homeless Youth. It offers different programs to keep youths on track, for example: the “Crisis Shelter” where they offer food, a safe warm bed, and counselling as well as access to other programs the job center to allow youth to receive an income. Scanga 8 Even with Canada being one of the wealthiest nations in the world and with a very high standard of living as it is the second largest country in the world. Unfortunately, there is a side of Canada that is hidden from the majority of the world, and it is scar for those who know about it, child poverty has always been at an all time high in Canada. A recent survey stated “at 15.1 per cent, Canada’s child poverty rate is over four percentage points higher than the 17-country average. More than one in seven Canadian children live in poverty. Canada ranks 15th on this indicator and scores a “C” grade.” To get rid of children living in poverty, a change needs to be made by raising and protect the basic living standards of families in all regions of the country so that no child in Canada must ever live in poverty. For example: when we improve the life chances of all children in Canada to fulfill their potential and nurture their talent, and to become responsible and contributing members of Canadian society. Next ensure the availability of secure, adequate, affordable and suitable housing as a right of all children in Canada. Lastly, create, build and strengthen family support and community-based resources to empower families to provide the best possible care for their children. Scanga 9
Unfortunately, poverty is often an invisible problem. The voices of the poor are seldom heard. And what makes me feel like writing about poverty is the unwillingness of our society to deal with this preventable problem and how politicians who rule the country pretend that poverty is simply a given human existence - a force of nature - unstoppable and eternal. Poverty has been a consistent problem throughout history. No matter what the income, unemployment or overall prosperity level is, there will always be people who are homeless and hungry. Despite Canada and the U.S being one of the most prosperous countries in the world, the United States is not immune to it either. Even today, there are still people struggling to find shelter, feed their kids and find warm clothing. This social problem has various impacts on different institutions and people. However, there are quick and easy solutions that are available to break this social problem.
