Poverty

February 14, 2017

This week we are going a bit serious. From thanksgiving to poverty. Though some might say poverty increases during the holiday. Almost half the world (three billion people) live on less than $2.50/day. Some of us do not understand how much we have compared to others. Do you realize how much you have?

Would you say poverty is the nation’s biggest problem? If not what would you say is?

I don’t know I don’t think it’s the biggest.

 

What do you think we (us citizens) could do to help fight poverty?

Just help by supporting homeless houses and food banks.

 

Why do you think poverty is a problem in the world?

Partly cause a lot of people are lazy. Jobs are so demanding like asking for experienced workers.

 

Do you think poverty should be an issue in America? Why or Why not?

I don’t think because of our recourses.

 

What is one thing you would be willing to give up if you had to choose and why?

My bed, I could do without that.

 

Do you have anything you’d like to add?

No
