Poverty

One of the biggest problems facing the mankind since a long time is poverty. Poverty is considered as the state for the preponderance of the world’s people and nations. But will it be reasonable to hold responsible poor people for their own predicament? Should it be considered that they have been lazy, made poor decisions, and been completely responsible for their troubles? Has the government guiding such people has anything to do with their plight or situation? The causes of poverty are seldom less discussed and are deeper and more global.

Poverty can be caused by the global decisions, policies, and practices. Such global policies are usually predisposed driven, or devised by the rich and powerful few. Such rich can be the leaders of the developed countries or other global players such as MNC’s, financial institutions, and other influential people. When dealing with such colossal external influence, the governments of poor nations and their people are often powerless. As a result, in the global context, a few get wealthy while the majority struggle with poverty.
