“Poverty is the worst form of violence.” Mahatma Gandhi
Don’t ask: “Why does God allow this to happen?”
Pray: “God… give me the wisdom and strength
to do what I must to stop this from happening?”
Most of the problems related to poverty today lies on the fact that many civilized people are willing to live in comfort even if the price of this is poverty, ignorance, and sickness of many people around the world.
Poverty is the single biggest killer in the world today, and it is insane to say that it is the most preventable. -Minnie Driver, actress
It is easy enough to tell the poor to accept their poverty as God’s will when you yourself have warm clothes and plenty of food and medical care and a roof over your head and no worry about the rent. But if you want them to believe you—try to share some of their poverty and see if you can accept it as God’s will yourself! -Thomas Merton, Seeds of Contemplation

Poverty is when a person does not possess the necessary things to live and lead a normal healthy life. Poverty is not only when a person is poor, but also can be the selfishness of ourselves by not helping people who really need it.

To help stop violence we must first be aware that although we do not have everything we want what we needed to lead a normal life. Then we accept that we must begin to promote and raise awareness of the need of others and also among all slowly starting to overcome poverty.

This poverty is structural violence that affects the poorest and most vulnerable groups, and is much more frequent and behavior devastating violence, better known by the media and by society when they are marginalized by the way they dress, their speech, perhaps due to poor hygiene and many of them have to work from sunrise to sunset, this makes them the heaviest load.

1. Poverty is one of the major problems our society is facing today. It is a situation in which you live without money, food or a home or any combination of the three.
2. What I believe Gandhi means by this is that by people being in poverty this leads to them living a life of violence by means of stealing or committing suicide. Also he means that people in need will turn to violence in order to get what they need.
3. To contribute to society to help stop violence is by helping anyone who is in need of help. Also by giving people food and donating stuff that you don't need anymore.

1. Poverty to me is the biggest expression of non human behavior. It is the one thing every person can help reduce but only a few are willing to do something about, it is the worst form in which injustice is revealed.
2. Ghandi meant to make people understand that poverty is a form of violence because the majority of the people in the world can do something to stop it, but there is only a small group of people that are actually doing something. When you see someone suffering in poverty and you are one that can help, but are not willing to do something, it not only makes you violent, but it makes you part of what makes so many people suffer.
3. To help contribute stop violence in our society, I need to be a good example, do things right, help the people in need, and most of all not tolerate when injustice is made on those in need.

1. Sometimes we think that we are poor for not having all the material things we want, but the reality is that most of us always have food, medicine, clothing and a safe place for sleep. Poor are those who do not have money even for food or medicine.
2. I think he meant that everyday more people die for lack of food and medicine than are killed in war. Even poverty can lead to human to commit crimes or suicide by not having money.
3. I would treat of reducing economic inequality, where the rich have too much money and the poor have nothing. Also I try to raise awareness of the rich to share some of their wealth to the people most need.

1. For me poverty means lack of resources to meet basic human needs such as food, housing, education, health, clothing, water being. I also see it from other approaches such as poverty of values, mental, spiritual, social, among others.
2. To my knowledge Gandhi refers to abuse having people over economic power with people of low social class, since people of lower social class are repressed and subjected to these people. For me it is a form of violence to see people entering basic needs to live a good quality of life, while social class high as the political and those above the monopoly only think about how to get more money without thinking of the people need, bringing these people to violent acts of desperation by rhodes, murder, among other things.
3. To know the reality of the poor, see their needs, conditions and understand what their status as human beings. We must come together as citizens become aware and seek strategies to help these people in order to impose significant changes in their lives and in social life.
1) What is poverty for you?
ReplyDeletePoverty for me is when people lack the elements of nutrition, personal hygiene, homelessness and employment.
Poverty is a difficult situation to live, both those who are on the street who have no home or employment to survive, and those of extreme poverty where there are malnourished families who do not have the resources to survive from it.
2) Gandhi: "Poverty is the worst form of violence." What do you think he meant? Explain your answer in detail.
For me what Gandhi wanted to say is that poverty is the worst violence that exists, poverty I visualize in a subhuman way, and painful. I agree with Gandhi that poverty is the worst form of violence in the world. I think of the pain of those families, of children who do not have to eat, where to live, or with what to play, or simply do not have an education. I analyze my life where in spite of situations I have life, a home and I do not lack anything, and without a doubt I would contribute a bit to those families.
3) How can you contribute to your society to help stop violence?
I would help to contribute to society to stop the violence of poverty, by campaigning for funds for hygiene products, clothing and footwear, food, and games for children.
I would also create an association or entity that can be established in areas where there is poverty to create jobs for this group of people so that they can move forward. I would seek support from social workers who, together with me, will provide the free counseling service, would seek doctors specialized in medicine general, nutritional medicine, psychiatric medicine and psychological medicine to help these families recover.
After helping to create jobs for these families, I would look for ways to improve their lifestyle, in a better place to live, or for the leaders of the country to provide infrastructure services to improve the quality of life in these areas.

1. To me , poverty is when someone doesn’t have money to meet basic needs as clothing food or shelter. However, poverty is more than that, like when a person doesn’t have emotional and spiritual stability. You can be poor when you don’t have friends or a good relations hip with your family.

ReplyDelete2. For Gandhi poverty is the worst form of violence ‘‘I think he meant poverty is sometimes caused by the society. Violence can be caused by abuse of power, selfishness, no empathy or inequality. Jaen Traverso

1. To me, poverty is the state of being extremely poor. Like not having a home, food and low personal hygiene. Over 50% of the world lives in poverty.
2. For Gandhi poverty is the worst form of violence. For me, I think Gandhi means that it is something that is happening right now, that you can tell that the society is causing and not many people are doing something about it to change the world. Sometimes we our self for being selfish or impatient is what can take us to poverty. But it is sad to sit and look around us and see so much people suffering around the world and do nothing about it.
3. I can contribute our society to help stop violence by offering help to families in need, not only families but people that are also alone hiding. Also we can help by making different kind of activities that people can donate clothes, personal hygiene equipment, and most importantly food. Because poverty is such extreme that people only wish for a plate of food. Together we can make a difference, End poverty.

1. Poverty is what happens to some people who lack employment, money, hygiene effects and lack of education. There are many families around the world who are in extreme poverty, where it hurts me to see so many children malnourished and without homes.
ReplyDelete2. Yes, I agree with Gandhi. First of all I agree with Gandhi is the worst form of violence in world, as families around the world are affected by poverty. However, there are many countries that do not help to end poverty in these sectors and in many cases other countries give to those in need.
3. I would contribute to make some collections of clothes, articles of first necessity, and food. I, who am in the marketing area, would prepare an advertising campaign in which we can help these families improve each year and not be poor up to 60% until they can get out of that poverty. It would also help that members of my country, such as charities and the Red Cross, can help us provide medical care together with specialized doctors so that this campaign will be a success and prevent more families from being affected.

1) For my poverty is someone who cannot meet their primary needs,
ReplyDeleteit is also the situation of not being able due to the lack of resources to satisfy the basic physical and mental needs of a dignified life.
2) In my opinion, Gandhi means that poverty today can be avoided with the resources we have today, but they have not solved it because it suits them to have a poor population to have them as slaves.
3) In my opinion, one must attack at the root, from the beginning, when they are children, in education is a way to instill values such as: justice, democracy, solidarity, tolerance, respect, cooperation, love of the truth to achieve peace and thus help our society.

They found their unhappiness, because teat is what they have inside, they give that influence to other people to be miserable.
