Topic: Is the government can really make a way to end poverty or it depends on us? - page 14. (Read 1810 times)

In my opinion the possible of conflict between Ukraine and Russia has contributed to the increase in gas prices, which in turn may have lAd to higher prices for basic good and services. But, it is important to note that there are many factors that contribute to the prices of goods and service including global ecanomic conditions, supply and demand, and domestic policies.

Exactly. It is also common occurence here in my country, once there's an issue regarding poverty and money, it will always be the government to be blamed. Well it's also true that companies are the ones to give opportunities and mostly those companies are tied up to government, eventually it will just end up that the government is the root cause of all those things. To be honest there is no such thing as ending the poverty.

Inflation is the real problem that most countries find very hard to combat and win, this is why the poverty rate and situation in some countries are very bad , but it makes no sense to depend on your government for your life goals and achievement, I have seen too many people blaming the government for this, which is really unfair, the only reasonable things people can expect from the government are

•Good road and Stable Electricity.

•Advanced and Standby Security for the People.

•Better availability of Jobs.

Still, it is on you to find something legit you can do to improve yourself financially, it is wrong to expect the government to solve your issue of lack of knowledge to make money, start doing something, and believe in yourself only.

When people are having a hard time, there is this nature of a person where they are blaming somebody for what they've done themselves like in this case, the are blaming the government on why the price of basic needs are increasing. These people are also the people who don't know what is called "inflation", and what they know only is that, it's the government's fault as to why prices are increasing.

Some governments are doing their job to at least decrease the price of basic needs such as oil, gas, and food, but on the other hand, there are some things that it isn't controllable at all like inflation. If people want to go out of poverty, they must do something and don't rely it all to the government.

Governments do some things to allow this to happen, but the rest of the weight is on our shoulders. Only us ourselves can elevate our lifestyles and help us get away from poverty. It's not an impossible thing to do, but it is doable provided that you have the right mindset and do not lose sight of your goal. I won't really depend on the government for helping me reach financial stability if I were living within the poverty line. Instead, I'll make use of what I have, make do with what I know, and continue learning to get something for my hard work. I understand the plight of the masses when they organize rallies and tell the government to do something with their lives, but it's wrong to depend everything to the government as they don't have the power to help and lift everyone.

It depends on us, although government is also a human where greedy is a human nature, but if the government want to distribute free money to the poor people, it will affect the whole economy and cause high inflation rate. Don't only hope the government will help you, just do what you can and what you're interested, sooner or later the money will follow you since you're keep trying and want to achieve something.

I think that we can eliminate food scarcity in way that every family would have some food to eat and water to drink daily but completely erasing poverty seems impossible currently. Not only does this depend on the family or groups of persons who do the daily grind but this also depends on the government by providing job opportunities to reduce inflation.

Personally, the theory and idea behind communism works but this can easily be corrupted when a government controls too much power and fails to do its part to the society.

It's normal for its people to have those rallies and wanting to convey their message to the government on what they're demanding for. They're paying for the tax on that country unless the country is tax-free, at least for some countries.

I believe that the governance still has something to do on how the life of people would be. But, if you're in that type of area and you're still thinking that the government will pull you up to get out of poverty then that's the time you need to start thinking that you can't be too dependent on them.

They can do something regards to the price decrease of commodities and for the private companies to increase the salaries, it's not that easy because it depends on the cost of living and operational costs if it's doable.

The paradox is that governments only exist when there are poor people. If everyone in society were equal, the main incentive for subjugation would disappear. Yes, governments may claim to be fighting poverty, but they do not go further than that.

Some are really extending their effort to deal with poverty but depending on the government won't really help us escape poverty. Education I guess, is the key, in general. First, if people would be knowledgeable of things, they'd know how to plan for their future and that is one step already. Problem is, people in areas wherein poverty is obvious, are not even trying to make a change because they are simply used to it. Well ofcourse there are those who has the will but are lacking the oppotrunity BUT if you have the knowledge, you can create your own opportunity. It is not all about education indeed but no doubt that it would be a huge part of every man's success.

People who are in charge of your country were born and raised in your country, in your society, among the people of your country. If these people are bad people for its citizens, it means that society has failed to grow them in a good way. I mean, it's not that government is a problem alone and the rest is doing well, the problem lies within people, within their ethics, their mentality, their traditions, rules.

I bet, if you live in a corrupt country where politicians make tons of money, if you ask a random citizen what would he do if he was in head of government, more likely you'll get answer: I'll make tons of money.

So, my answer is that citizens are the root, governments are the reap that they sow. If people think that things will get better if there is no government, then be sure that every anarchy turns into Monarchy or in modern world, into a government established by a team of certain individuals.

It depends on the country you live in. I'm saying this because some governments have made efforts to reduce the level of poverty in their country while some governments just don't give a shit. All they care about is enriching themselves and their families, especially the governments of developing countries.
We know that the whole world is in a bad place right now due to inflation but it is worst in some countries and those countries are developing countries whose governments are so corrupt to the extent of not caring about how badly their people are suffering.
No matter what country you live in you shouldn't rely on the government to lift you out of poverty, worst still in you are in a third-world country. I know it's hard but you just got to know that you are all on your own and the government doesn't give a damn about you.

Nevertheless, it doesn't mean you shouldn't demand what is yours from your government. It is the role of a government to create employment and provide a nice environment for businesses to thrive, the government is supposed to make it's country a good place to do business, combat inflation and make sure the cost of living is as low as possible.

The government can only facilitate programs, training, economy, for the community in overcoming poverty for its people.
The real main role lies in each of us, capital and assistance may be provided by the government, but the community has a more role in carrying it out, the government cannot overcome the problem of poverty, if the community is lazy and does nothing.

In some cases, a lot of economic assistance has been channeled to the people, whether it's plantation programs, business capital and other assistance, facts on the ground.
they take this assistance to use it for their daily needs, in that way until whenever poverty cannot be resolved, after economic assistance is used inappropriately, the people will suffer the same fate again (poor).

Well, the role of society is number one to eradicate poverty, the government as a means of guidance, programs and additional economic capital to overcome poverty.

I don’t know where you from but the effect of the Ukraine and Russia war is being felt up till today, but trust me that’s not the only reason we have economy meltdown in some places.

The world is always looking for causes of economy fall to hang the blame on. Financial crises can be caused be rise of crude oil in this case due to war. But the major cause of economy meltdown is poor management. Russia has the largest oil industry in Europe but they aren’t the only option.

The government could potentially achieve this, countries like Norway with it's sovereign wealth fund - where oil money was directed into a big public purse instead of being sold of for pennies to private shareholders, are rather successful. However politicians are often short term, very egotistical and usually looking out for their own interests in the long run. Whether that means they have subtle bribery teased in front of them, like cushy consulting jobs after retirement or generous hospitality packages for smaller favors. The world of business is constantly trying to manipulate laws to increase their advantage, maybe by stifling competitors or deregulating at the public expense.

Government and society have their respective roles in efforts to eradicate poverty and make the country more developed. but if it talks about the prosperity of the country as a whole then that is indeed the job of the government. because they (the government) are chosen by the people to be assigned to manage the country so that it becomes better. but it is often the corrupt government that makes it difficult for a country to get out of poverty. I have an example but I won't mention the country but it seems one of the ministers in that country said that "if corruption can be eradicated in that country, then the proceeds from mining projects in that country can pay every person in that country around 20 million rupiah per month".

Well, from the minister's words, I myself just understood that the income of a state that has a natural gas mine or something like that actually has such a high state income from this mining. but unfortunately there is still a lot of corruption going on so often the benefits for the state even flow in the wrong direction (corrupt hands).

But we also don't blame the government as a whole because the people also have to work together in this matter to eradicate corruption. because corruption does not only occur in government but also in companies and in other matters outside government institutions.

Factors such as global economic trends, political instability and natural disasters can also impact the economy and contribute to poverty. For example, the wars in Ukraine and Russia may have led to higher gas prices and inflation, which could make it harder for individuals and families to buy basic necessities.

Addressing poverty requires a collaborative effort between governments, individuals and other stakeholders in society. By working together to address the root causes of poverty and implementing effective solutions, we can create a more just and prosperous society for all.

The poverty rate in Qatar is less than 1%, and many countries have poverty rates similar to Qatar's. In my opinion, the government plays a major role in everything, since everything is solely dependent on them. Through policies, the government can make wealthy people poor and also make many people rich. They possess security, judiciary, financial control, and other resources, which will make leadership crucial.

Even countries with honest and hardworking government officials are having a hard time dealing with the inflation crisis. O government is exempted but they could do alternatives to lighten up the burden of their people. However, in some countries, government officials are also taking advantage of the situation. Instead of making solutions, they are doing corruption in different branches of the government. That's why people who rely on the government are really experiencing hardships. That's why it is better to work hard in our own ways so we can deal with the crisis because we have no one to rely on.

Poverty exists in every country, but the proportion varies depending on the rich-poor ratio; only the government has the powerful tool to determine this ratio, which demonstrates how a country's government is performing. There is no way for every citizen of a country to have the same financial status in either a capitalist or a social system of government or even a traditional system of government, but the government can suppress the level of poverty so that life is comfortable for everyone and it does not appear as if the poor masses are abandoned while the rich people enjoy the economy alone.

In reality, if the government fails to fight poverty, it will harm even the wealthy since no one will offer some essential necessities for the wealthy, such as agriculture and products, for example, provision of a good mechanized agricultural system for the less privileged farmers would assist grow the economy and the availability of food in the country, that how the government should give and take to fight poverty, the farmers will have money and the government will have their tax and enough food for everyone.
