How The Other Half Lives Essay
The variations in the living standards among the people from place to place, and from time to time have always been existent. Greed, injustice
and inequality are the three sides of the triangle of poverty and wherever we see them, poverty is always there. Humans cannot overcome a
serious problem such as poverty without addressing those three main causes. Even this problem is worldwide; it varies from one area to another.
It is higher in areas which were colonized for a long time before such as Africa, Asia and Latin America than other areas which were not
colonized for a long time such as Europe and America. We cannot imagine the swift change that happens in the last century in poverty.
Surprisingly, it is only one percent of the population that controls most of the international financial assets, creating a massive change in the
international landscape of poverty. It was mentioned in the introduction to the text that was taken from Jacob Riis' book "How the Other Half
Lives" this quotation: "Curiously, today, that economic divide has changed and we now speak of a much wider division: the one percent versus
nighty nine percent". It is interesting, but not surprising to see today with all modern thinking and technological progress, poverty is still growing
to threaten our existence and it doesn't seem to go away anytime soon. Most definitely, without addressing the three sides of the triangle of
poverty which are greed, injustice and inequality, nothing really will work
