World Poverty




World Poverty






 Poverty can be defined as a state where a person,community or as in this context of world poverty, refers to a country which is in a state of being extremely poor or being inferior in quality or insufficient in amount.( main definition from Google).In this era of globalization,many countries are developing to become the 1st class country such as Japan.However,the world poverty is becoming very serious issue that needs to be taken consideration.Statistics have proved that the highest amount of people live only with $2.50 per day is estimated around 3 billion nationwide.The saddest part is that 22000 children each day die due to poverty that is approximately 3.5 deaths per minutes.

 Poverty results is millions of death due to hunger and disease each year.Besides,the country struck with poverty also lack in infrastructure such as hospital and clinic for medical benefits as well as school for the children to learn.Based on the studies conducted in 2011,the world's poorest country is Congo followed by Ethiopia.A little bit of something sunshine group members would to share.Nearly 1/4 of the human population live without electricity.It seems like a small percentage but the actual amount is much more bigger people in a population.Just imagine how the younger generation and the elderly live their life as they are lack on the essentials such as electricity,food and medical attention.It takes two hands to clap.We have to work together as a nation to help those people who are in poverty to ensure that they have a better life.Country such as Congo, and others should be given help in form of medical attention,food,infrastructure.Education to the younger generation in the country is very essential so that they can rule their country on day with the knowledge they gained.Education can make a huge difference.Sunshine members hope very much that we together can put a stop towards world poverty(.pictures courtesy of mysosiologycalwindow.blogspot.com and theblackinventer.com)




"LIKE SLAVERY AND
APARTHEID,
POVERTY IS NOT NATURAL
IT IS MAN-MADE
AND IT CAN BE OVERCOME
AND ERADICAATED
BY THE ACTIONS 
OF HUMAN BEING"
