  • Essay / Reflection on Poverty - 648

    I belong to a country that faces many problems ranging from illiteracy, health/diseases/low life expectancy, hunger, housing to violence , high crime rate and especially terrorism. After experiencing many types of misfortunes/events like a robbery and witnessing major events like a terrorist attack, I was driven to study the central problem behind it all...so looking at people with health problems/ homeless/educational and listening to numerous interviews with people such as captured terrorists, thieves and criminals. Listening to their reasons/explanations, I came to the conclusion that the main driver of all these problems is poverty, which is largely ignored by society. What made me want to write more about poverty is our society's lack of effort to address this preventable problem. After observing both ends of society, I was disheartened to see the lives of many homeless people dying of starvation or cold, while comparing them to people living extravagant, lavish, luxurious lives, on vacation or in boating in the Mediterranean, while putting a blind eye. eye on….An ordinary person would describe the word poverty to low-income people, but it simply does not describe the serious health, economic and social disadvantages they suffer. Only those who experience it are able to describe their pain and suffering and the sad truth is that many cannot cope. As I concluded earlier, it is the root cause of almost all the problems facing this society, ranging from illiteracy and malnutrition to crime, terrorism and is a major source of conflicts because it leads too few resources for too many people, so they end up fighting against each other...... middle of paper ...... not just for money or markets, or education and health – while all of these are important, it is about people accessing resources and increasing their ability to improve their lives and influence decisions that affect them. If we come together and fight this phenomenon, we, especially the wealthy, have the potential to put an end to it. Instead of buying luxury items like jewelry, luxury clothes, big houses, expensive cars, they can concentrate their efforts on the poor, which would leave the world with more harmony and better social balance. Ending the cycle of mass unemployment, reduced wages and social inequality requires a struggle to break the hold of the financial elite on society and replace the capitalist system, which subordinates social needs to private profit, with socialism, which uses the wealth created by the economy. working class for the common good.
