POVERTY ANYWHERE IS A THREAT TO PROSPERITY EVERYWHERE.

POVERTY ANYWHERE IS A THREAT TO PROSPERITY EVERYWHERE.

Poverty is not only about lack of  money to meet basic needs like food shelter, clothes, sanitation, but it is much more than this, it is a lack of nourishment, education, proper environment, and a lot of tension about the future. Most often, poverty is the situation when people want to escape because their life is so far different from others. As a result, they feel uncomfortable, this enables them to think for a better future.

“Poverty anywhere is a threat to prosperity everywhere”, yes it is because if there is poverty there is a lack of everything. Aids originated in poverty-stricken to Africa. The poor countries in Africa did not have the resources to conduct research or identify and restrict the disease on time. As a result ultimately aids spread to such proportions that it became a threat challenge to people across the globe, and hence, the United Nations and other countries have to spend billions for curing this disease because this disease was continuously spreading worldwide from people to people and country to country. It is true that the whole world is connected, so impacts of different things also travel worldwide. If we see in our surroundings, we will find many poor people living in extreme conditions and are victim to many hazardous communicable diseases which automatically reach to the whole environment.

People don’t have enough money to live in better environment condition, proper sanitation, they don’t have proper food and water this all is because they are poor.

A country cannot be developed if there is very much difference between the rich and the poor but can only develop if there is a minute difference between them or all are treated equally. They also have good living conditions, sanitation, and proper health care.

We can see effects of poverty everywhere and it is an absolute truth that ‘poverty is the mother of crime’ because poor’s do not  have  any option to survive and hence, sometimes have to do many illegal and dangerous work which are both socially and medically dangerous. Like many poor people became terrorists or get involved in many illegal works.

Many forests get deforested because the people living near them encroach upon them and destroy them, affecting the biodiversity, indirectly affecting the nation and all prosperous people too. Poor’s cut trees for using wood as fuel or other purposes leading to increase in the amount of global warming in the environment which is affecting all of us. But here the poor’s are not responsible because they have no option left except to cut these trees. Many people kill the wild animals or birds for leather or for meals again affecting biodiversity.

All the things in this world are interconnected and if one will affect the other will also get affected. The causes of poverty are many but the consequences of poverty are humans only.

Extreme conditions by poverty are sometimes by the fault of the government only because they do not take proper measures to stop this. However, in recent years our government has taken many and major steps to uplift the poor sections of our society like providing them clean food, a better environment, and living conditions, giving them education, and providing them jobs. But, still, there is a lot of discrimination between them and the rich society. Many a time this happens because the rich society takes advantage and insults them, making them feel that they are not a part of society. But this needs to be changed because the poor’s are also equally important for the growth and development of the nation. We should try to work with them and stop discriminating against them because poverty, resulting inequality, and frustration make nations a threat to terrorism crime unrest, and humanitarian cries for prosperous countries. Therefore if prosperity has to aspire for future generations anywhere in the world, poverty needs to be attenuated from the world.

Children's are the future of every nation but according to UNICEF, more than 22000 people children die daily because and poverty and hunger. But this does not mean that there is a scarcity of food because “God had provided everything for everyone’s need, not for everyone’s greed. So, we should try not to waste our food or anything and share with the poor to uplift them. There are many causes of poverty and corruption in one of them. In many countries, the poor remain poor and the rich became richer this is because the poor’s are not given equal rights. There are many parents who don’t educate their children and let them do child labor because of extreme and if some educate their children too then they are not given equal opportunities to show their talent. This led the talents to suppress resulting in a weak nation. But this needs to be stopped, today our government had made many provisions for the upliftment of the poor sections of our society but they are yet somewhere discriminated and this is not because of the government but because of us only because the poverty of goods can easily be cured but the poverty of soul is impossible. If we want to suppress poverty then we have to enlarge our soles for helping others for getting the proper food and education, clean drinking water and sanitation, etc.

Poverty cannot come to end by increasing salaries of poor or by giving high positions to them who are not capable of holding them but by giving everyone equal treatment and giving everyone equal opportunity according to their talent. To reduce the poverty we should try to stop racial and caste discrimination,and should encourage women empowerment because to make a country economically strong all have to work together and avoid any discrimination on the basis of poverty.

Poor people are also a resource for every nation and if these resources get affected the other will automatically get affected from health to wealth
