why there are many poor people in this world who can not afford their essentials of living ?

Can't speak for all but I see many who continue to have children when they can not afford to feed what they have. Excuses for not getting out there and making a honest living. I believe, and have seen people with nothing rise above. You have to have the will. Put your mind to it and you can do just about anything. Poverty does not always have to be a choice.

That’s precisely it, lack of computer and internet access. Besides that, the illiteracy index in developing countries or third world countries is very high. The schools are poorly equipped, no computers or only one or two are installed therefore the pupils don’t even know how to use them. Imagine the minimum salary being $48 per month as it is in Mozambique (once 5th poorest country in the world) to an adult who has a family of up to 12 children (they don’t know and don’t have easy access to contraceptives). These people (98% of the population) have no buying power so they will never own a computer and will never be able to pay to use a computer in an internet café.

Because the government doesn't care if poor people survive.  Have you noticed the truly healthy foods are very expensive?  Think about it.

Rob from the poor to give to the rich, and people still vote for them. It is called supply side economics. What a shame for the richest country in the world that they cannot take care of their poor.

There are a lot of things in our society and our way of life that tend to make people who are living in poverty 'invisible.'\n\nPeople of different social strata or income groups tend to live in various pockets because of the varying value of land for their homes (poorer people tend to live in areas where the land is inexpensive, or residences allow for more people living in a smaller space). The poorer an area is, the less likely it is to attract outside investment such as grocery stores or work sites, so there is much less reason for our media to pay attention to the area.\n\nPeople in the middle class tend to live in outer suburbs where land is more expensive but available, services are better provided, and there is more relative safety. If they work in urban areas, they have access largely via the Interstate Highway system, so they avoid contact or even sight of poor and blighted areas.\n\nBecause people who live in poverty tend to have a higher amount of relative depression, they tend to not believe there is anything to be gained through voting, so there is no incentive for our political leaders to pay any attention to them at all.\n\nIn short, our people living in poverty tend to live in pockets and areas that have nothing in them that the rest of society is interested in, so they become invisible. We then tend to believe that there is no real poverty in America. The only poor people we tend to see are the con artists along the highway exits who try to intimidate us into giving them money so they will leave us alone.\n\nWhen Katrina came along, it devastated such a large area that these invisible people were driven out of their homes and were forced to seek outside help. Because they had no cars and no caches of food or supplies, they were herded into camps and holding areas where they suddenly became a story worth reporting on because their misery was now out in the open and on display.\n\nNow that they have been dispersed across the country, of course, they are invisible again, and we can go back to asking our government to reassure us that poverty does not exist ... again.

I suppose it's because people in our world today base their respect on money. The more you have it, the more superior you are... It's awful, really. Even if they're poor, they still go buy expensive things which they can't really afford, just so they could brag about something.

It is relative, but in the United States 'poor' typically refers to any individual whose financial situation is insufficient to maintain a 'world class' standard of living for an ongoing period of time.  It also points to anyone unable to afford access to the level of technology, health care and education which is considered obtainable by the work force.  'Poor' is relative to a society's overall level of technological and economic sophistication.

it is not very easy to combat poverty in a corrupt country as those who are responsible for combating corruption themselves becomes corrupt.  corruption is very deep rooted in many countries.  a country like india  corruption has become a way of life.  one corrupt tries to overtake the other corrupt whereby making the economy poorer.  it is because of the resources abundantly available in this country it still survives.  had there not been corruption from top to bottom this country would have become super power long back.  there is no dearth of wealth in this country as that of there is no dearth of corruption. since it is a sages country only the god can save the poor as they are becoming poorer day by day.  from politial parties to bureaucrat from the high echelons of bureaucracy to the down below level u can find currupts in all walks of life eating into the sahre of the poor

There will always be poverty.   They can not be eliminated.   Some poverty exists because of the poor fortune people had.   But some are because of people not willing to do their best and work themselves up.\n\nThe question may how to reduce the poverty.      We must look at what are the most basic thing that keeps people down.\n1. housing\n2. medical expenses\n3. educations\n4. jobs\n\nIf only we can help/assist people with the needs for affordable help on the four major categories,  many people still stuck at or below poverty line.

The reason for poverty in America is the politics's of greed, or Repuglicans in general. I have mine and I want to make more therefore I do not want to pay taxes and to hell with anybody else. Being poor is no more a choice then homosexuality. It is thrust on 10% of the population by another 10% of the population the very rich. I wonder why of for what reason that a person needs every cent of their billion dollars and there are many billionaires here. There is also a thing with corporate greed. Move the good paying jobs with health benefits overseas to a place where people work for pennies. But do you see the price come down on anything because of it. The answer is a big NO. Socialized medicine is long overdue here it is needed by all, not just an elite few. Every one in the United States should have a birthright to three things food, shelter and health care.

More and more everyday-the pressure is on. It must be scary for them now. They will have to start living with what they have at home--like so many others poor must do.

poor people dont need money, they need to figure out how to \nnot be poor. by giving them money, you only perpetuate their\nlack.show them how to get help, or find out what they really need. most people who beg are drunks or druggies.\nreal poor people who have no money take no pride in begging.

Wealth because then you can gain wisdom. Poor people for the most part don't go on to collage, or stay home all day everyday and read all the books they can.
