Some thing about poverty

And let the music flow Like Light into the Rainbow We know the Dance, we have We still have the chance To break these chains and flow Like Light into the Rainbow. (taken from “Antonio’s Song” by Michael Franks)

Poverty is a part of human being problem like a ghost followed our daily life. What is poverty means? It can mean the condition of having little money and few material possessions. In international and community development literature however, poverty has the additional meaning of deprivation of basic needs. While some seek to define poverty in economic terms, others consider social and political arrangements to be intrinsic to poverty. Debate on the causes, effects and measurement of poverty directly influences the design and implementation of poverty reduction programs and is thus important to the fields of international development and public administration.( by wikipedia.com). Economic aspects of poverty may include material need, typically including the necessities of daily living (food, clothing, shelter, and health care). Poverty in this sense may be understood as a condition in which a person or community is deprived of, and or lacks the essentials for a minimum standard of well-being and life. These essentials may be material resources such as food, safe drinking water, and shelter. Poverty also describes a (persistent) lack of wealth and income, or wealth and income disparities.
Social aspects of poverty link conditions of scarcity to aspects of the distribution of resources and power in a society. These aspects of poverty may include access to information, education, health care, social status, political power,[1] and the opportunity to develop meaningful connections with other people in society.[2] Poverty may also be understood by those who experience it as an aspect of social relationships and need, including social exclusion [3], dependency [4], and diminished capacity to participate in society, [5] including as a result of being deprived of access to education and information.( by wikipedia.com)
