Werkstuk: Poverty in the world
My talk is about poverty in the world
In the end of the 20th century, there are 1 milliard people in the world who lives in poverty. We all have an idee what it will be to live in poverty.(like living on the street) But what do we really mean with the word poverty?
Poverty has diffrent sizes, it could be that the people dind?t go to school, because there are still 140 miljon children who don?t go to school. And because of that they miss the oppertunity of a good job. But it can also be that the people had to live in a refugee camp, 1 on the 120 people had to leave there house because of a war.
Sometimes poverty is very clear, but that is not always the case. Think about the older people who do not work any more. Some of them have to choose between staying warm in the winter or have enough to eat. This people will choose quetly, so nobody will notice. Or think about some poor country?s, where is a farmer witch his harvest was a failer, without anyone who notice that.
Poverty was never good to explain, for exapt in England, there were two groups, the: decent and the indecent. The decent where the older and the sick people, who can?t work. The indecent where the people that was his own fould that they where poor.
At they and of this cenutury there was a new define for poverty. That was: Poverty is a want of food, water, clothes and an home. If these things aren?t there you can say that somebody is poor. This define is still used, but there is also a new one. But this one is only to show, that there is no poverty in the western world. But it is hard to make a comparison without looking at the time and culture of the people.
Poverty isn?t only dont?t have enough money. But it is something worser. The people dont have equal oppertunities, and are losing something terrible: The chanse on a happy, long, and healthy life.
It is not only the people that suffer through poverty, but it is also a terrible thing for the whole country. You can say that owr world is seperate in two parts. The north and the south. The most country?s in the north are rich and healthy. And the most country?s in the south are poor, it is also that the most country?s in the south used to be colonys form the countrys in the north. But not every country in the North is rich, like russia or some other coutrys that used to belong to the soviet union. And not all countrys in the south are pore. Because there are a few countrys that diliver oil to other countrys and there making a lot of money with that.
The poverty in africa was created by the white people, because they used them as slaves. Because African slave-traders didn?t get much money for teh slaves they sold. And the white people ware trading stuff that the slaves made for them with lot of profit. With that profit they bought new machines, wich were making the company more profitable. And the black people did work in the factory?s as slaves. At least the farmers in Africa where on there one. If they coudn?t work because they get ill, or something else that keeping them of from work on the farm, then they hadn?t enough food. And they where getting poor. Some of the rich people in that time, where using there money for the poor people, so the had a good home and food. But that dodn?t solve the whole problem.
Societies has always been separated, but it was not always that there was a different between rich and poor people. There are country?s where are people that made there own food. Mostly just enough to feed themselves, so nobody was independent of other people. Because of this there was no different between rich and poor.
The different between people by looking at the rank they had, where making the poverty worse. Because poor people like farmers, had to pay taxes at the king. So they didn?t had stuff to sell, and the didn?t get money. In the begin of the 20th century there were also a lot of Europeans that where poor. The lived in terrible houses without even water. And the children didn?t go to school anymore.
There were never clear borders about ranks but people where always living a different life. The one was poor the other rich.
The most people are saying that there are no more ranks anymore. But the way that people have to work them selves up, is still the same way as before. It is also that if you are born in a low rank, the chance is big that you will stay there, and that is the same if you are born if a high class.
In Russia there was a big revolution because of the Poverty. At they end of the revolution, the tsar was resignation. And the leader of the workers: Vladimir Iljitsj Lenin became the new Tsar. But Russia would always stay a poverty country.
If we look back at the 20th you can say that there waren?t big changes for the poverty at the world. You can say that there are different groups of poor people. The biggest group are the woman. Because 70% of the poor people are woman. They get less money for the same work as men, and girls are taking earlier from school to work. Of the 900 Million poor people at the word 2/3 is woman.
Also big groups of poor people are: younger people. Old people and handicapped people. So not every one is taking there chances of a better life because of the good economical society.
The First world war.
Everybody was thinking that the first worldwar would only be a disaster for the economical situation of the country. But more than ever people where finding a job in factorys. But after the war, the number of unployed people was groing very fast. And everybody was back where he or she started. A good example of a country that was getting poor after the first worldwar is the united states of america.
In the years after 1920 there was a good economical position in the united states. Even the reguler people where buying stocks because they want to be rich in a short time. But it was a few years later that it all was going wrong. A lot of American farmers where going bankrupt. And there where produced more products than people could buy. The prices where falling because wallstreet was crashing. This had the result that a lot of people where becomming poor, so a lot of people where selling there propertys for little money.
The bad economical situatian in the united states had also influence on the economical situarion in Europe. A lot of people there were getting poor and unemployed. In great brittain was a kwarter of all people that wanted to work unemployed.
THE GERMAN DEBT
Also Germany sufferd after the first world war. In 1921 The get the bill of the war they had started. There are so many o?s in that number that I don?t now how to say it but I will show you: 2.178.000.000.000. The German people coudn?t pay back that lot of money, and they became in a very bad economicle position. After a few years there was a man who was saing that he could make an end at this position. It was Adolf Hitler. Thanks to this man Germany had again a good financinal health. But the people didn?t now what kind of terreble things he would either do. The economicle position in other countrys in east europe were also bad. And also they were blaming the goverment and the jewish people.
The results of the wall street crash where a disaster for the colonys. Becaus the most colonys where indipendent of the export from 1 or 2 products. The farmers thought they had a solution, but it was it all making worser. The prices of there goods where low, and they wanted to solve the probler through making more goods. But the plenty of products they had now, where making the prices lower and lower. The coffee farmers in Brazil where doing this to. And they had so many coffee now, that the trains didn?t uses cokes anymore but coffee.
BIG CHANGES.
When more and more people where getting unemployed the goverment disited to help the people. They where making jobs for the them. It warn?t very good jobs, but the people where already happy that they had a job so they get paid and could buy food. The jobs they had to do where jobs that where good for the city. Like cleaning it or making streets. So this where very good jobs for the economics.
But after the second worldwar there where many coutrys back where they had started. There was again a lot of unemployement. This time the united states diseted to help. They had a plan for this called: The marshall plan. They where giving 4 milliard dollars to the europian countrys that where hit by the second worldwar. Countrys like the Netherlands did use the money very well and they could solve te problem of unemployed people with that.
A Sight on the futere
The whole 20th century there was a progress in bringing down the unemployment. There are a few poor countrys that are making very good progress to. Like China, the unemployment in that country is decreased with 50 % . But there is not only progress. Still 1 on the 4 people is only urning 1 dollar a day. Another sad thing is that the diffrens between rich and poor increases instead of decreases.
So the problem of Poverty is not over yet.
