Does the problem on poverty can still be solve?

yes. but it will take great resistance to get-rich-quick schemes orchestrated by american corporations. instead, because there is a great push to bring ICT (information and communication technology) to "third world" countries, and the Philippines is one of the places poised to benefit, that's where the effort should be pushed. not only can ICT bring people a free education, it can allow people in the countryside to have access to information they might not otherwise have, enabling them to bypass people who would cheat them. it enables them to bypass, in fact, all kinds of people who would censor their knowledge, and otherwise do them ill. it can be a great tool for getting out from under oppression. \n\n(see this link: http://owli.org/search/node/philippines?PHPSESSID=c9a8f079b33e9cad428fb1ef8bad7e89.)

Start with yourselves. Have discipline and motivation to have a good education and a decent job. Poverty are mostly the result of undisciplined indidviduals within the society. They often complain and ask the government to help them but they don't even tried to help themselves. Also we all should have a new government. Vote for those right in the position and not because you are being paid. Officials can't make this thing a positive issue at this moment because they're so busy with their own "business" so we really can't rely our future to them. We can do it step-by-step.

Your question is both timely and poignant.  There are still people who believe that poverty can be eradicated simply by providing people with more social service benefits, and there are those who still believe that higher minimum wages (living wages) will solve these problems.  Poverty and despair are the main underlying causes of crime, and to address them, society must adequately address illiteracy and must make advanced education and training available to a larger number of its citizens.  We can no longer afford to have a college education be as expensive as many people could afford to pay for shelter.  We can no longer afford to have the only good elementary and secondary schools in many communities be the expensive and highly selective private ones that are beyond the reach of the people who live in the neighborhoods in which these schools lie.  In a nutshell, our educational system is in complete disarray from top to bottom.  Teachers are grossly underpaid, but the standards are so low to enter that otherwise noble profession that the field attracts way too many people who are not qualified to work anywhere else.  If our teachers were paid commensurate with the experience, skill, expertise, and success ratio they each individually bring to the table, and those who did not measure up to the much higher standard we must adopt were fired for cause (or retrained and then reemployed), our students would learn much more of what they need to learn.  Illiteracy would improve because teaching would improve.  Crime would improve because literacy would make more people gainfully employable and poverty would have a significantly reduced effect on our society.

I wish, but the answer is NO. The relationship between Islam and poverty is cause and effect...Islam CAUSES poverty...many people confuse the order.

There will always be poverty. Some because of circumstances, some by choice.

A very decent and logical question. To answer it, I'd have to say, no, there's no one out there. We need to fix our own problems instead of waiting for a diety to fix them, or to say it's all in his plan.

In the USA the solution is not putting up with laziness. Most "poor" people in the USA are just plain lazy. The few that aren't, need to learn a trade.

One of the biggest problems I see with 3rd world gov'ts is corruption and abuse of power.  This is a cultural problem, not a social one, though it's impact is definitely social.  Unless and until this problem is admitted, dealt with, and resolved, no amount of money, aid, education, propaganda, king-making, nation-building, or peace-brokering will help the economy and thus the plight of the average citizen, at least long-term.\n\nAs far as "teaching" them to develop, one method that is reasonable and has been proven effective is to involve the average citizens themselves in the process of education, aid-distribution, and working smarter not harder.  This grassroots approach, seen in Bangladesh and some African locations, not only enlightens the masses and improves their condition, it replaces the traditional, pre-modern, ineffective, abusive, tragic methods and lifestyles with lasting positive change.

Poor countries want what wealthy countries have, even if it means taking it rather than earning it.  Inequality leads to conflict.  The only way many people know to solve conflict is through violence.  Learing to talk, use diplomacy, is the only hope we have.

Unfortunatly NO.\nThere is in some countries, One LAW for the rich, and one for the poor.\nEven in progressivly modern countries, the LAW do'es not always seem to work.

Poverty is the cause of many but not all problems.\n\nMost poverty is caused by injustice which is even a larger issue. If there were no injustice there would be no poverty.\n\nWith love in Christ.

So far the government has been a failure in response to poverty. Social programs don't work as they allow for to many people to cheat. How ever the Clinton approach was closest to the best in my opinion, he helped to create an environment where everybody that wanted to work could get a job. His welfare to work program, raising taxes on the very rich and reinvesting it in the poor without giving it to them might be something that needs to be looked into closer. Education is an influence on poverty. Everybody needs to be something whether it is a taxi driver or a doctor everybody has potential for something.

Well, you are right, but money never solved anything.  Actions solve problems. We have to change the educational system from top to bottom.  And to start we need passionate teachers who know how to teach, enough of glorified babysitters.

A definate yes. It's hard to implement though, especially with the current state of the economy and government...

Well there's the debate whether if those effects are positive or negative in first and third world countries.  In a little more than 10 years after the creation of the WTO the world's poor nations became poorer and the rich nations wealthier.  I think any economic policy to be implemented ought to involve social development as well... it doesn't make sense to make the global exchange more efficient if the majority of people will suffer from it in the end.
