“Poverty is
the state of one who lacks a usual or socially acceptable amount of money or
material possessions”.[1]
What is the matter even your poor?
Poverty for me is hard to think. We may think of that it is all about money.
What is the reason that we see poverty the thing I am going to introduce?
For me poverty
makes people suffer from hunger, thirst, illness because there are no hospitals
to go or no money to pay for the medical fees. Children experiencing poverty
are people who also longs and would want to have education like children who
goes to school. Now I am going to tackle mainly on children who are suffering
from poverty and show some pictures of them.
Look at these two
children. Do you think they want to live this way? These two children living
and sleeping on the street are called "street children".
According
to the news the number of street children increases globally.[3] Street
children works hard to get some money for their family, they do rags, pickers, beg from people on the street, children
who works underage etc., While the latter include children who loiter in the
street, many of whom later become anti socials, juvenile delinquents, drug
peddlers and pick pockets.[4] Do you think it is good for children to do these things?
Children working without education are one of the many reasons that cause
poverty. The reasons are when they get less or no education it will be very
difficult for them to find job that offers good salary, with that how will they
be able to support themselves as well their families? Poverty is one factor
that may trigger these people to do bad things like stealing because they don't
have money to buy food or to get the things they needed. Street children are
increasing globally which simply means that there are more children suffering
from hunger, these results to children who are dying from it.[5]The number of children who suffer from hunger and poverty
these days is increasing every hour, every minute and even every second.
Can't you see it is
horrible to know that many people are now having a great time without any
worries while there are millions of children who are dying to eat a piece of
bread for their hungry stomach. Maybe we should realize how lucky we are and be
thankful for everything we have and share if we can to those children suffering
from hunger in the countries part in the Southeast Asia, Africa and other part
of the world suffering from poverty.
As we live today in the world without balance. We may think on a
way to solve this problem. “In particular we can see many aspects of poverty”[6] we have
to see those things and make actions. It is because poverty is anywhere in the
part of the world. I want to learn more about it and try my best to introduce
it to you all well. Thank you.
