Poverty is a state that some people in the world are in which includes them, having little or no money, little support, and having poor conditions. In my opinion, too many people in the world are in poverty, especially in other countries. People, especially in different countries, should have the privilege to obtain good health, money, and a fair amount of support. Poverty is a conflict that can affect anyone, of any age. My prediction is that the United States doesn’t have a big percent of population in poverty compared to other countries. Also, I think that some countries in South America and Europe don’t have as high as percentage of people in poverty as other places. On the other hand, Countries and cities in Africa, Asia, and Mexico might have a higher percentage of the population in poverty. Poverty cannot be classified in counties, because one part of the country might be rich and one part might be poor. For example, when I went to San Francisco for the day, I discovered and observed more poverty in such a place as Davis or Woodland. If you walk down the street, you see at least 1 or 2 homeless people per block. That is something you cannot say for Davis or Woodland. There are places far worst in other countries than San Francisco. It is easier and more accurate to classify percentages of poverty by towns, and city, because for the most part the whole city or town is either in poverty or it isn’t To help this sad reality, there are programs and organizations that help people deal with the problem. There are shelter homes and groups of people who got together that are sympathetic that want to help. Jobs and fundraisers are also raised to help the cause and provide money for the homeless. Even though all the programs that are active, it is not enough to help everyone in the world that is in poverty. Right now in the world, it is too big of a problem for all of it to be solved. I selected poverty as a topic because I was interested in what countries were most in poverty, and the effects it had on population. I think poverty is a big problem in the world, especially other countries, besides the US. I think more people in the world should be aware of it and educated about it and be able to do something about it. When I visit places like San Francisco or Berkeley, which has a considerable amount of more poverty than Davis, I notice the problem and am tempted to do something about it. Poverty isn’t just something simple. There are different layers to it. One person could be deeply in poverty and have almost zero money and no home; living on the streets, but another person might have a shelter to live and sleep in. Some people might have a mix between the two. An example of this would be a person who had a shelter to stay at but very litter money for food and water. On the other hand, someone could obtain some money by begging for food and water, but certain shelters and other organizations might not have room for extra homeless people due the excessive pressure that is put on the shelter to help feed and clothe the people. It is harder on a child in poverty than an adult, especially when the child is alone or has nobody to take proper care of it. This is because an adult has a better sense of the situation and what they are into. An adult also has a more developed brain which allows them to make better decisions in their surroundings. A child or a kid doesn’t have as developed of a brain, which makes it harder on them mentally. Going back to the homeless shelters, in my opinion, should be reserved for the children first. They are the primary ones that need attention and assistance.
