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.

Problems of inequality and power power point
This document discusses income inequality and its impacts on society. It finds that the wealthiest 1% own a disproportionate amount of global wealth, with the richest 1% owning 40% of wealth and the bottom 50% owning barely 1%. This level of inequality can destabilize governments and economies by shrinking the middle class.

It concludes by arguing that actively working to change policies and perceptions is needed to address the disparities.
Global poverty: definitions and developments
Global poverty is a complex issue with varying definitions and measurements. Roughly one third of humanity lives in material poverty concentrated in Africa, Asia, and South America. While definitions of poverty differ and include economic, ethical, and multidimensional measures, global goals aim to alleviate poverty by focusing on direct poverty reduction as well as societal changes like urbanization and climate change. Trends show that those living on less than $1.25 or $2 per day has decreased globally excluding China, though some regions like Sub-Saharan Africa have seen increases in poverty. Exact measurements are difficult and poverty lines may not fully capture the social aspects that are important to individuals' experiences with deprivation.
Poverty In Africa
The document discusses poverty in Africa, its causes, scope, and potential solutions. It notes that political instability, wars, desertification, diseases like HIV/AIDS, and lack of access to jobs and markets are key drivers of poverty.

Several organizations like NEPAD and the AU aim to address issues like HIV/AIDS and hunger. The document raises questions about governmental and educational responses to poverty in Africa.
Global Issue - Children in Poverty
Around 21,000 children die around the world every day from poverty, hunger, and preventable illnesses and diseases. This amounts to over 7 million child deaths per year. Several organizations are working to address this issue and help children living in poverty through initiatives like sponsoring children, donating food and clothing, and reducing food waste. Individuals can help support these organizations or participate in activities online like Free Rice, a website where answering questions correctly donates rice to feed the hungry.
Module 2: Poverty as a Social Problem
Poverty became more visible in the U.S. during the 1960s Civil Rights era but attention has fluctuated since. While official poverty rates count 15% of Americans as poor, the actual number with incomes insufficient for basic needs is much higher. Poverty has remained consistently high over 40 years despite some declines, and the poor face greater social exclusion and barriers to socioeconomic mobility than past generations. A structural perspective that considers economic, political, and social forces outside an individual's control best explains the causes and persistence of poverty in America.

Globalization
Globalization refers to the increasing internationalization of markets, communication, and culture due to advances in transportation and communication technology. It involves the integration of economies and societies across international borders and includes growing economic interdependence and cultural exchange. Mass media, the internet, and economic interdependence have contributed to globalization by allowing for increased communication and shared cultural experiences across the world. While globalization has increased understanding between groups and promoted world peace, it also risks dilution of local cultures and suppression of less powerful traditions by dominant forces. Education aims to teach people how to embrace globalization's benefits while avoiding such negative effects.

Can you imagine what your community would accomplish if everyone who lived there had financial security? Would the citizens of that community have the time as well as the mental and emotional space to be more engaged in their community? An engaged community is a community which solves local issues that adversely affect the citizens of that locality. If all communities had this same level of engagement, could we overcome global issues? Finding a solution to poverty and financial insecurity is key to attaining greater community engagement. Universal Basic Income is a solution to poverty and financial insecurity, and ultimately, greater community engagement.

poverty as challenge
Poverty is about lacking the means to meet basic needs like food, clothing, and shelter. However, poverty is more complex than just lacking money - it means experiencing hunger, lack of healthcare, lack of education, unemployment, and living in constant fear for the future. Poverty can be measured both relatively based on economic conditions compared between regions, and absolutely based on minimum calorie intake and consumption levels. In India, poverty disproportionately affects scheduled tribes, rural and urban casual laborers, scheduled castes, and agricultural laborers. The government of India has implemented various programs aimed at alleviating poverty.

lets end poverty
- 1. POVERTY How to end it ?
- 2. A) If you had the opportunity, what actions would you demand of the United Nations Secretary General and why?
- 3. MY DEMAND : END POVERTY! The UN’s plan to end poverty has been ineffective. Although it has decreased poverty in some countries, many parts of the world still remain deprived of necessary living requirements. My demand is to begin taking drastic action to end poverty around the world. I propose we do this by creating a time span in which we will have set goals to achieve. For example, within a period of three years we should have decreased the amount of poverty by a minimum of 60%.
- 4. What is our world today? Half the world lives on less than $2.50 a day. More than 2 billion don’t have clean water or basic sanitation. One quarter of humanity lives without electricity. A billion people are unable to read a book or sign their names. Every 3.5 seconds, a child dies from poverty.
- 5. Is this what the world has become, or are these civilized actions ?
- 6. Poverty leads to CHILD LABOUR. Poverty leads to ENVIRONMENTAL DEGREDATION. Poverty leads to BEGGING ON THE STREETS. Poverty leads to VIOLENCE.
- 7. WE DEMAND PUBLIC AWARENESS The UN should not stop creating awareness campaigns to include the people about this tragic subject matter. When we keep reminding people about this tragic issue they will never lose interest and won’t stop until good results have been amended. Every time a poverty issue comes up you see how cooperative the people are, but after a few months, you notice that objective of saving lives and ending poverty has wore off, such as The Kony Project 2012. In the first few months it was a subject that everybody was talking about. and progress has been made. But after that most people lost interest in the foundation, one reason being because the founder of the foundation was arrested because of inappropriate actions in public shortly after he uploaded the video. Another reason being, rumors going around that Joseph Kony has not been in the country since 2003 or that he is in near death because of sickness, some believed that it was fake, these rumors remain to this day unclassified as true. The Kony 2012 shows how people make a fuss for the first period of time, but then lose interest afterwards.
