The document discusses poverty as a global issue, providing statistics on its prevalence and effects. It focuses on the situation in Southern Sudan, where girls are more likely to die in childbirth than complete school. Two organizations working to address poverty are highlighted: Mercy Corps provides humanitarian aid like housing, schools, and supplies, while DED creates vocational programs and promotes peace in Sudan. The document advocates raising awareness and fundraising to support these efforts.
This document describes a study that examined factors related to global citizenship. It found that global awareness and normative support from friends and family predicted stronger identification as a global citizen. In turn, stronger global citizen identity predicted greater endorsement of prosocial values like empathy, diversity, social justice, sustainability, helping others globally, and responsibility. The document concludes that promoting awareness of a shared identity as global citizens can encourage prosocial attitudes and behaviors across borders.

The document discusses Amartya Sen's concept of poverty as severe entitlement failure. It traces the evolution of how poverty has been defined, from income deprivation to basic needs deprivation to an inability to acquire basic needs due to a lack of entitlements. Famines are presented as a failure of entitlements rather than just a lack of food. Different groups have different vulnerabilities due to differences in how they acquire basic needs and different sources of entitlements. Evaluating poverty and deprivation requires looking at availability, accessibility, security and quality of goods and services from an entitlements perspective.

Poverty is defined as a lack of basic human needs like food, water, shelter, and access to education and healthcare. Historically, poverty was widespread due to low economic productivity. However, advances like industrialization, modern agriculture, and globalization have significantly increased worldwide production of goods and food, reducing poverty in most parts of the world. Still, poverty persists and tackling its complex causes requires strategies like increasing incomes, providing economic opportunities, strengthening property rights, and expanding access to infrastructure, financial services, and global markets. International organizations monitor global poverty levels and progress toward reducing extreme poverty.
This document discusses poverty from several perspectives. It begins by defining poverty and outlining types of poverty such as absolute and relative poverty. It then examines causes of poverty such as inefficient agricultural practices, war, and lack of access to resources. Statistics about global poverty are presented, such as over 22,000 children dying daily from poverty-related causes. Potential solutions to eradicating poverty focus on generating employment, raising education levels, and appealing to governments and international organizations to make poverty elimination a priority.
Poverty is defined as not having enough money for basic needs like food, water, shelter, and toilets. It is most prevalent in developing areas of Africa, Latin America, and parts of Asia, and can be caused by factors like illiteracy, changing economic trends, lack of education, overpopulation, and diseases. There are two main types of poverty: absolute poverty where basic survival needs are not met, and relative poverty where a family's standard of living is below that of the overall society. Proposed solutions to poverty include promoting peace, education, job opportunities, charitable donations, and greater government assistance programs.
Poverty is defined as lacking material possessions or money. Common causes of poverty include corruption, economic trends, overpopulation, and diseases. Poverty is addressed by creating jobs, raising minimum wage, providing health coverage and paid leave, and economic security programs. Organizations like CARE and Doctors Without Borders work to reduce poverty by providing aid, training, healthcare, and disaster relief in poor communities worldwide. Individuals can help by volunteering or donating money to support the missions of these organizations.
Poverty is defined as a lack of material possessions or money relative to wealth. Extreme poverty occurs when household resources are insufficient for basic needs like food, healthcare, and shelter. Poverty is caused by factors such as overpopulation, lack of jobs, education and resources, as well as family circumstances. It most often affects densely populated urban areas where there are fewer jobs and opportunities which can lead to poverty and violence. Some ways to reduce poverty include lowering population, increasing food supply, and eliminating predatory institutions, though fundamentally changing human nature would be required to fully address issues of greed and inequality. There are organizations working to improve living standards for the poor.
The document defines and discusses different types of poverty. The United Nations defines poverty as the inability to access opportunities and basic human needs like food, water, shelter, and education. The World Bank sees poverty as lacking well-being in multiple dimensions like income, health, education, and security. Absolute poverty refers to deprivation of basic needs and is measured as living on less than $1.25 or $2 per day. Relative poverty measures income inequality within a society. Common indicators used to measure poverty include the headcount ratio of those below the poverty line and the poverty gap reflecting resources needed to eliminate poverty.
This document defines and describes poverty. It notes that poverty refers to a lack of material possessions or money needed to meet basic needs like food, water, shelter and healthcare.

This document summarizes key ideas from two works: Frank's "The Development of Underdevelopment" and Dos Santos' "The Structure of Dependency". Frank argues that modernization theory, which views underdevelopment as a natural phase, is deficient because it ignores how colonialism altered development paths in the Third World. Underdevelopment was intentionally created through exploiting resources and transferring economic surplus to Western nations. Dos Santos identifies three historical forms of dependency - colonial, financial-industrial, technological-industrial - and how they structurally limit industrial development and reproduce inequality in dependent nations under foreign capital's control.
Modernization theory posits that countries must undergo scientific and technological advancement to become modernized and increase living standards, with the West's role being to invest in developing countries' factories, education, and media to disseminate modern ideas. It has been criticized for being ethnocentric and for ignoring inequality. Dependency theory argues that the rich world's development was achieved through exploiting the developing world, making them dependent on imports and aid. World systems theory asserts that a global capitalist economy has existed since the 16th century, with some countries forging ahead to form the wealthy core region and the periphery specializing in raw materials.
The document discusses various definitions and conceptualizations of poverty. It defines poverty as a lack of basic needs like food, shelter, and income, as well as a lack of access to opportunities and social inclusion.

The United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) was created in 1946 to provide emergency aid to children in countries devastated by World War 2. UNICEF's programs promote community health and well-being for children. It believes every child deserves opportunities like health, education, clean water and play. UNICEF has helped children whose lives were at risk in developing countries, and now has over 7,000 staff in 157 countries.
This document provides an overview of the global refugee crisis and the No Lost Generation initiative. It defines what constitutes a refugee according to the UNHCR and USCIS. It notes that over 50% of the world's refugees come from just three countries: Somalia, Afghanistan, and Syria. The No Lost Generation initiative has three core pillars to help refugee children: education, child protection, and support for adolescents and youth. It encourages getting involved through outreach, event planning, or joining one of three committees.
The document discusses the Humanity Awareness Initiative, which aims to accelerate human consciousness and wellbeing through global education and training. It originated from discussions at the Barrett Academy about developing a new worldview centered around identifying with humanity as a whole. The initiative would involve establishing global and country teams to implement training programs targeting various audiences like advocates, ambassadors, and leaders. The training would focus on personal growth, understanding different levels of consciousness, and aligning one's values and actions with contributing to humanity's wellbeing.

Social entrepreneurship first emerged in the 1960s and 1970s to promote social change. Today, non-profits, foundations, governments, and individuals work to fund and advise social entrepreneurs worldwide. While social entrepreneurship aims to create both social and economic value, its definition remains unclear and overlaps with other fields. However, this lack of definition provides an opportunity for researchers from different disciplines to rethink key concepts.
The document discusses promoting and protecting children's rights. It highlights that while the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child has been ratified by most countries, millions of children still suffer from issues like hunger, violence, lack of access to education. It outlines the World Future Council's work in this area, including establishing a Future Policy Award to recognize the best laws and policies protecting children's rights and ensuring children's voices are heard.

This document discusses approaches to humanitarian aid and avoiding "lost generations" of children affected by crises. It examines Linking Relief, Rehabilitation and Development (LRRD), which aims to coordinate transitions between emergency response and long-term development. While initially popular, LRRD was criticized for being too linear and not reflecting the complex realities on the ground. More recently, the concept of "two-way LRRD" and integrating the idea of "resilience" have been proposed to address these issues by emphasizing more reciprocal relationships between humanitarian and development work. The document also provides case studies on psychosocial support for Syrian children and Save the Children's experience with the Ebola crisis in Liberia to illustrate the challenges

Hugh Evans was born in 1983 in Australia and has been passionate about combating poverty since visiting a slum in Manila at age 12. He founded The Oaktree Foundation in 2003 to provide aid to countries in Asia and organized musical charity events to raise funds and awareness. His 2006 event featuring Pearl Jam gained international attention. The Oaktree Foundation has funded education in Cambodia and Timor-Leste while Evans' event influenced then-PM Kevin Rudd to increase foreign aid investments. Evans realized sustained action was needed and started the Global Citizen Festival in 2012 to encourage ongoing community involvement in solving poverty.
The document discusses human rights and outlines the goals and history of the United Nations and Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It notes that 1.5 billion people live on less than $1 per day and half of children in South Asia are malnourished. Only a third of people in sub-Saharan Africa are expected to live past 40. The UN was created in 1945 to maintain peace and security, develop friendly relations between nations, and promote human rights. The UDHR, adopted in 1948, established basic human rights and the UN has since expanded protections for vulnerable groups. Students are assigned a project analyzing the UDHR and asked to create a poster illustrating one of the 30 articles.
ADVOCACY What are causes and what is important item?KokoStevan
Advocacy aims to influence political, economic, and social decisions by raising awareness about issues and promoting solutions. It can be led by organizations, groups, or individuals to address problems like poverty, disease, human rights abuses, and more. Effective advocacy provides facts to educate officials and the public through various activities, publications, and messaging. There are many types of advocacy focused on specific issues, including economic, health, education, environmental, and human rights issues. Advocacy groups work to support important causes and help give voice to the issues that need to be addressed.
