What was my definition of poverty?
My mother defines poverty as:
People who are powerless to buy the main essential items: food, clothing, and housing.
My father defines poverty as:
Deprivation of the basic humans needs: food, clothing, and shelter.
Mr. Pendell defines poverty as:
Not having access to the basic needs of food, clothing, and shelter on a daily basis.
What do you have questions about poverty?
I ask the following questions:
* Why do we live in a world that involves poverty? Why can't everyone share the wealth and have jobs, and all children have education? (this isn't related to communism)
* Why are there so many people involved in this huge problem?
* In the future, will poverty be eliminated forever? Or will this problem last forever?
My mother asks the following questions:
* Why do most countries in Africa get struck with poverty?
* Why are there still poor people in U.S., although the country is rich?
My father asks the following questions:
* How can we fight back poverty?
* What countries have the most population living under the poverty line?
Mr. Pendell asks the following questions:
* What is JIS doing to reduce poverty?
* What programs are available to reduce poverty? (e.g. orphanages)
* What is the percentage of people in Jakarta living under the poverty line?
What is the minimum wage in Jakarta, Indonesia?
Jawa Barat (Jakarta) has the minimum wage of 628,191 rupiah in the year 2009.
What feelings do you have about poverty?
What I feel about poverty is that I am fully dismayed and filled with grief, because of all the children dying without medication, no food or shelter. In addition, the children do not learn much, as they can't go to school for education.
What are some ways you think will get people out of poverty?
Remember that poverty begins without a source of income. Donation of school supplies, stationery items, (of course) money, and non-perishable food. These are for educational and health purposes. Another solution may be, the government uses taxes to help the poor as charity. Or, maybe the government may use the taxes to build a public school, and then hire teachers to teach the children how to read, write, and speak. The government can also build a health clinic in villages that are poor.
