Is Poverty Man-made or Life Happens?
Is poverty and not having money the same thing? Explain
No, poverty and not having money are two different thing. In poverty, it is a long-term chronic lack of resources which will not have access in so many things including healthcare, shelter. While not having money is a short-term setback, experiencing in a moment but will not be limited to anything. However, natural disasters can cause poverty to an individual.
Do you think poverty is man-made or situations in life make it happen? Mention 2 main causes of poverty in your country.
Jesus died on the cross so that we might become rich, that's the slogan of some Christians. They believed that poverty is not their portion when they're dont want to use their hands and do something, very good then, in this case, what will you say poverty is? Well, that's aside. In my opinion, no one desires to become poor or probably experience poverty, it is a situations in life that is beyond control that make it happen.
2 main causes of poverty in my country.
Government policies
Bad economic police from the authority is one of thing that cause poverty in the country, causing inflation is everything to the extent of some government workers been just like those who are not working due to increase in price. Despite wages paid to these workers, they're still experiences poverty which is very unfair.
Laziness
Laziness among citizens in the country is also one of the thing that causes poverty. Most people believed that untill the government create/open opportunities for jobs before they can make their life good, forgetting that all fingers are not equal. Government has try to do their own part as such those whose government work is not favorable, should think on what to do, create job for his/herself and take poverty out from his life and generations to come.
Give a life experience to justify that poverty is either man-made or situations in life cause it.
Right from the time I grew up till now, my grandmother first brother is experiences poverty a very long time now. Am not trying to expose my family but trying to make one or two person to learn something. Growing up, my grandma sisters only visited my grandma to know how she is faring and one day I was force to asked if her parents didn't have a Male child.
My grandma narrated how wealthy their family was, her dad having many lands properties then in so many places. When their parents all done, the two of her brother share the properties without including them(female). The second male child did so well by selling some of the land to build himself but the second one decided to feel good of himself.
According to my grandma, he married the first wife without a child, fortunately, he went and bring in another woman who came and make his life miserable. Due to that, the first wife left and this second wife was blessed with four children. When he sells all the land properties and all the money finished, the wife left the children with him and go to another man.
Since then, he become a shadow of himself having no place of his own, no skill nor catering for his children. Everyone is scatter just like to thine tent O Israel. Hardly they feed and they worst part of it all is that, this man is not in good terms with his sisters till tomorrow. Have witness several meetings on how to reconcile between them but this man will not accept, that also affected the children because he made the children to see us as enemies. I don't want to talk about whats brings the grudge. No one want to know anything about him again since he doesn't need peace. Since he chooses to dwell in the mistakes he finds himself, so be it.
Someone refuses to scam people to make a fortune and elevate himself from poverty. Will you say the person is the reason he's still poor, or will you say he's being content with the poverty? Justify your answer
Someone been poverty is not by his making, and for the person refuses to take what is not his In order to live a good life, has choosing a right part to follow despite it poverty. Not as if the person is happy with the situation of been poor but just want to have peace of mind and be in peace with his neighbors.
Lot of people can involve in scamming others but will it last you? No. Sometime you will be scare of even going out so that you will not be caught which is not right. And so, choosing to be who you are so as to be free at all times is a good decision which can bring you out from the poverty. How? The sincere heart can attract someone to be of help to you either by making you to learn a skill or establish you with a business or job that will bring a change and success to you life.
