Topic: Can the world be without poverty - page 12. (Read 10041 times)

I agree that a world without poverty is only imaginary, because after all the reality of life there is poverty and it cannot be eliminated.
Poverty will always exist, but what is interesting is that not all poor people will always be poor, as well as the rich. Not all rich people will
become rich forever, sometimes people's fate can change. Depending on how we live, that's why many people work hard to make money,
because they don't want to be poor.

Yes it is possible but nor really possible in the practical life.

Why people are poor because they don't have money so they need to start working and anyone can work even though completely paralyzed people made money with their brilliance so anything is possible.

Then they need to multiply the money they made or else they have to keep working forever to keep their income source.

    Yes, the world can really be without poverty..
From a proper view of life, no one is meant to be poor, but if life chooses to favour someone before the other, a helping hand, not just a helping hand but an avenue where the poor can benefit from should be given from he that is reach to those that are not up to the standard worth Calling good life..
   Aside that, for a poverty to be taken away good governance should be established. Cause,Where there is a balance in allocation, there must also be a good standard of living for all levels of individual...

- Well, if you have understood such injustice, why do so many people not break this rule and become owners of society, this means why the poor do not overthrow this injustice and become rich then help others. The reason is they can't, they like rich dreams but they don't work and are just lazy, besides this problem, our lives rarely have acts of fair sharing, a small part to help in difficulty is possible but a part of wealth to help others be rich is impossible, poverty has a huge impact on effort, not wanting poverty will be effort

There is no fairness in this life.  The scenario happens every day, often and is also the contradiction between the world, status, class, race, rich and poor ... I meet it every day when I go to student, even when I am  Existing work also encounters similar problems.  It is not uncommon in life in my country.  There is no integrity, and that widens the rich / poor gap!

Personally I was also asking why life was so unfair, I mean why there must be someone who can have a life with the previlege or simply super rich, rich and the lowest was the poor. Dreaming the world without poverty was a total in dream could only be happen because whatever may see life in any aspects and in any angle the economy of the world was designed to have a rich and poor aspects of life. So we as a person could only do was to improve our life, and improve our skills to elevate the aspect of our life.

There is this street statement I often hear, here in my country "life no balance" meaning life is not balance. There is always the other end who don't get favour due to its nature and how human is program to work in democratic system and capitalism.
Poverty can be reduce to minimal but cannot be fully eradicate, there is always people on the other end who always lack somethings that are either limited or very limited to their environment.
The world cannot live without poverty, that's the sad truth.

Undoubtedly, not everyone can be rich, but nevertheless everyone can be well-fed and dressed. One has only to pay attention to the statistics, how many different raw materials and products are utilized every year, and all this could satisfy all the needs of people in poor countries. I believe that you do not need to take an example somewhere far away, but pay attention only to the fact how much each person buys products in the store, and how much he then throws them away as unnecessary. Most people live and only spoil a significant part of the resources without using them. The same applies to electricity, heat and water. But most of all, the unprofessional government and big tycoons are to blame for this, who in any way are looking for opportunities to make money, and they do not care about people.

in my country we are only 30 million people and in my country there is a lot of land where no one occupied, there is a lot of good land for agriculture, there is a lot of good land for animal husbandry, there is a lot of land for industries and there are a lot of rivers. so why is my country poor? my country is not poor because we are many people, on the contrary in my country we are still few people, we are poor because we have leaders without brains, bad and dictators.

I am against corruption, but I know that it is impossible to end corruption in Africa and in the world, but at least people have to have a limit when stealing from the people, if they stole little and developed the country creating good policies the people of my country would not super poor, they would have what to eat, the prices of things would be low prices

poverty will always exist but it is not extreme poverty that must exist... we have to fight extreme poverty

Lol, a world without poverty, such a beautiful dream. What would we make of that world,,, naahhh, its never going to be possible. The fact that, different or even the same thing means different thing to different people is a limitation to wealth already, as poverty relies in your ideas. Your ability to convert your mind grown thought into value and in turn wealth that would elevate you in the society.
Very few people can do that and as such, the riches of the world will continue to be limited to those who can't. So, poverty isn't going anywhere. What we could wish for is a stable or fair life but that too is likely not to happen.

That's an important topic to bring up. I personally think that everything in our world is relative and, as you said, there should be balance. And you can't just make everyone equal, so there'd be no poor - that's basically communism.
Rich people build their businesses and live off other people, many of which are middle or lower class.
Today's economy is built on the market and in the market, there's always competition. For everyone to have the ability to be rich there, ideally, should be as many varieties of products and services as there are people on Earth! However, what can be done is some sort of regulation against monopolies and multiple businesses. I mean, when there's a single person who runs several companies that distribute a lot of different products and this company is the highest competitor on the market - they're basically taking this niche from other potential people.

Although, I wouldn't support this kind of regulation. If there's a person who can run a business and is smart and competitive enough to win over the market in multiple fields - why should anyone restrict that? You want to be on the market and earn money - well go and try as hard as that person did, spend all of your time working, invest in your education, move on and win that place or die trying. That's what I think.

Nowadays all you need is the Internet and the brains. People have these excuses that they have no resources, no knowledge, no time, but most people are just lazy and that's why they're poor.
Of course, I can't deny that there are also people, who are born even without those little incoming resources like the Internet and can't even read. And that needs to change. But centuries ago the poverty was much more widespread, than nowadays, and education plays an important role here, so I think (hope) that eventually these people will rise to the level, where everything depends simply on their willingness to learn, advance, and achieve their goals.

Proper education indeed can bring good chance to lessen poverty, with knowledge people will able to find ways, we do have human intellect and if we enhance it we also increasing our chance to find what suited ways to develop passive sources of incomes, we can't denied the fact that part of poverty or very big part of poverty is due to governance, leaders who are there just to corrupt the system, minding their ownselves instead of serving people. If only they'll invest with proper educations, future generations will not suffer the same fate with what the current people are experiencing right now, especially to those third world places.

It's bad but as if there's nothing else to do, when everything is difficult and there is no ability and determination to change and progress, then things like that will keep happening again and again. I personally don't always blame those who live in poverty for change because sometimes the lack of support makes them continue to fall, but if I look at what is happening with the government providing assistance in many ways then it is the full support of the government for many poor people can change and become more advanced in the future. But unfortunately, they don't have the awareness to change their own life.

The politicians want them to live like that. I am from India and there are hundreds of millions out here who are dependent on government handouts. Nowadays, a large percentage of the government revenue is being spent on providing handouts (either in cash, or in the form of free electricity and other services). Those who receive these handouts make sure that their vote goes to the ruling party. It is like a never ending cycle.

Poverty is not in wallets, poverty is in our heads!
There is a concept - genetic poverty, it is a complex "disease", it is difficult to "cure". This requires knowledge, this requires perseverance, this requires an understanding of the processes around. Unfortunately, most of the so-called "poor" simply do not want to learn and change. You cannot wait for changes if you continue to do everything as before! You need to CHANGE! Learn, change, spend energy. But poor people tend to be very lazy and very afraid of change. Their ideology is better than $ 1 a day of guaranteed income for collecting secondary raw materials than long-term studies, finding their abilities, finding and realizing themselves, competing with others. But in any case - to moan about their poverty and what all those who are richer than him are bad.

Decreased but not eradicated. The question was  "Can the world be without poverty" No, we could decrease the rate at which poverty is been experienced in the world but I still don't think that we will be able to completely eradicate poverty in the world. Every thing any one has pointed out here that will hinder poverty elimination will still be there for some reason. Some people will still not be educated, Some Government will still be corrupt and so on. So you see, it is a difficult task to Solve.

The root of poverty is ignorance, a lot of people wanted themselves to be ignorant and it causes them to suffer in major poverty. Actually there are a lot of people who are saying that there is no opportunity in this world and that is why they expericing poverty but they are not just seeing it because they are not financial literate and they just want to stay in their ignorant lives. By studying ang allocating most of time to become financial literate, the world can change and the poverty rate may decrease. There are still some factors why poverty is happening like incometent government who keep corrupting and bullying their own citizens.

It's not that binary 1 or 0 though, let's say if the world has only 2 people, 1 person owns the whole world and is very rich and the other person doesn't have that much wealth, but in the world with so much resources available, both the person can live a good life by having the basic necessities met like food, clothes, shelter, even if the person 2 may not be as wealthy as the first one and even if the first one is the king. Similarly, we in this world if can reproduce so much resources to feed and provide for every person of the world the basic necessities of human lives, all will be fundamentally happy, irrespective of their economic status

Issues such as corruption, ethnic and religious violence, illiteracy.etc stems from the same root cause. Until we tackle the root cause, poverty will exist in this world. I am talking about overpopulation. The planet is currently supporting 7.5 billion humans, although it has the capability to support only a fraction of that many people. There are not enough natural resources to keep everyone wealthy and therefore poverty is increasing. The largest reduction in poverty has been noticed in countries such as China, where strict population planning policies were implemented.

I believe we will all try to bring up Ideas that when resolved, we can or may be able to solve this Poverty Issue but I still stand to disagree that there will always be poverty regardless of what we do. It is inevitable, it is the rule of life and what ever phrase we might us to qualify it. All your fingers are not equal and so is life. Even if we where to eradicate corruption, make every on educated  and the likes, every one still cannot earn the same and in that circle of classification, we will still have the richer one, the mid richer ones and the lower richer ones. Which means, the lower richer ones can still not afford what the higher richer ones can afford which still makes them poor in that circle.
