When people talk about the problems that are facing the world these days. People come up with many problems such as global warming, terrorism, and poverty. Poverty is one of the most important problems that are facing the world, and many countries can’t find any solution to end this problem. Poverty can be described as the lack of minimum basic human needs such as food and shelter. Studies have stated that more than 35 million Americans are living in poverty. If you can find the year, it would be much better. This is approximately 14 percent of the population of the United States of America. When people discuss the poverty reasons they find a lot of reasons that cause poverty and it is very hard to decide which reasons are the main, but most of them agreed on those two main reasons that cause poverty which they are lack of education and poor environment. .you can paraphrase the sentence in 1st body paragraph and put it here. To simplify more the two reasons Lack of education is when the person have a very low education in his/her life because of his/her condition maybe he/she quite going to school and start working or his family doesn’t support him/her enough to continue school. Also, poor environment, when the person find himself in a very poor environment such as he/she grow up in a family all what they do is stealing and they doesn’t teach any good manners of course this person will do the same because it’s the only thing that he/she knew. Although, there are some effect of poverty that harm people and the society, the top two effects of poverty are health problems and lack of education. The world should stand united and find a very effective solutions for this problems because poverty doesn’t affect the poor people themselves it affect the society and other people around the world.

Lack of education leads people to not have a very good job opportunity with a good salary. Lacking a good job, people will find some difficulties taking care of their basic needs, and the little that they earn is spent in their bills it doesn’t go to their needs. You need to focus on lack of education leading to poverty. A student who came from low-income families tends to get a lower score in their academic studies regardless their family situation and some of the students quit going to school and go outside to work in any job. According to a study by Sum and Fogg (1991) found that students who are from low-income families scored below the average percentile “ low-income students scored about 30% but the middle-income student scored about 45%, and the upper-income students scored 70% in their school.” (Sum & Fogg,1991) So, schools needs some requirement that the person need to do in order to be successful in the school, it does need the person to come fully aware and able to understand the lecture even though if its hard for him he/she should try their best but for the low-income student doesn’t do very well in the school because they think about many things in their life and come to the school thinking about how to get money to support themselves and their families or they have apart time job that it take most of their time after school and they don’t have time to study after work.

The environment that one lives in can influence them to stay in poverty. People who live in a poor environment don’t encourage each other to be more successful. They do not encourage them to do well in his/her school in fact they give them bad habits to do every day like stealing or doing some drugs. As a result, the person will have facing problems in their lives because the poor environment will make the person less motivated in his/her live and won’t develop people. Also, he/she will do some things people shouldn’t do especially if they are in an age that wouldn’t let them thinking about their lives clearly. For example, we have two people who came from the same background they are poor and they lives in very poor environment and the two of them wants to change their bad situation. So, one of them, get a work that he can support himself and save money from it even though he don’t get paid well and the other person said most jobs wouldn’t give me a good salary and if ask people in the street for money they would give me money more than the job would give me. The two people continued their life but the life changed for one person who decides to keep his work. He support himself and continue his education and become a manager in his work with a good salary but for the other person he still asking people for money and become hopeless. The moral of this story keep trying to get out from your current situation and don’t listen to some people who they think they lost hope in life and wouldn’t do anything to change their situation. Some of those people who lost their hope in life they use drugs to help them forget about their bad condition that they find and put themselves in. Also, they will try to sell drugs to other people to get money from selling drugs. Of course, everyone knows how drugs are bad for the people whose consuming drugs, for their families, for the society, and for the country. Also, poverty can lead to enhance diseases and make the crime percentage get higher than before. People who lives in skid row environment tend to have more health issues than other people because they don’t go to the hospital if they feel sick and you can find the trash every where. Poverty makes individuals thinks they are in life or death condition, and there is no way to be out of this condition. Furthermore, they try to find legal or illegal ways to help them support themselves and their families. Unfortunately, many of poor people go to the illegal ways because it’s easier for them and they have nothing to lose. So, they will commit crimes like stealing from people or killing people for money or selling drugs. You need support from references. Comment by Windows User: there are
After explaining the causes of Poverty let us see how poverty can have serious effects. When children are living in poverty, their healthcare quality will be challenging. In most cases, poverty will make the children go for the poor quality of healthcare because of the financial difficulties. Studies have shown that infants living in poverty have low birth weights as well as mental and physical disabilities. Poor health can make the children fall sick more often, and it has been discovered that they are more likely to die before reaching their first birthday. Also, illness makes poor children miss school more often. There is also a higher rate of accidents when compared to the other children not living in poverty. Moreover, they are more likely to suffer from impaired vision as well as hearing impairment, deficiency in iron and can as well have an impaired brain function. Support from references? Comment by Windows User: It is important to know causes of poverty so that people can solve problems, but it is also important to know effects of poverty on people.
Poverty can cause a family to be stressed in taking care of their daily life needs. When in stress, a person can recess from their current jobs. The poor families are more stressed that the middle-class families. Violence has also been influenced by stress that is caused by poverty. The poor families are also suffering from negative events or bad luck. They will experience depression, job loss, criminal victimization, eviction and even death of a family member. The parents who are living in poverty will be more punitive, insulting and be involved in corporal punishment. The African Americans who are underclass have been associated with being the poorest. They are trapped in the inner ghettos and the industries that were offering employment such as textile industries, auto, and steel industries have either been shut down or have been relocated to the suburbs. In the suburbs areas, they are offering jobs to the people who have advanced education, which they lack. Focus on one or two, and get references to support them.
Homelessness is another cause of poverty. People living in absolute poverty are the ones who are homeless. Homeless means that even having a decent meal for they cannot prepare themselves a proper meal. Homelessness also means that they will lack proper nutrition and immunization. With this in mind, it means that they are more likely to have health problem when compared to those who have homes. The women who are homeless will likely give birth to babies with low births as well as miscarriages and even infant mortality rates. This is caused by them not having access to proper care for their babies. Why are the homeless problematic to themselves and the society? References?
Documentation has been made which links poverty with academic performance. The documentation has been studies the start in the early life of the children. It has been discovered that readiness to school, which include entry to the kindergarten has an effect on the success of the child. Studies have stated that American students who have started school behind their peers cannot be able to close the readiness gap. The readiness gap continues to increase as their advance through their education system. According to The Virginia Kindergarten Readiness Project “School readiness has been shown to be predictive of virtually every education benchmark. In the United States, it has been estimated that 30 to 40% of the children who are entering kindergarten are not ready for school.” The study shows how children aren’t getting enough education that makes them compete with other children especially Delete this paragraph.
In conclusion, I believe most people around the world doesn’t deserve to be poor. Countries around the world can do a lot to help those people who are in need. Most of the countries aren’t doing any significant action towards this problem which is something awful because many people affected by this problem and people are dying because of it. Also, if any government doesn’t do anything to fight poverty, the crime percentage will increase. Poverty can be caused by several factors such as lack of education which leads to one to securing a better employment opportunity, low income and one’s concern for the future. As a result, poverty causes poor healthcare, poor education, and homelessness.
