Types of Poverty

” In today’s society, everyone refers to themselves as poor, without being in actual poverty. Just because you do not have enough money to purchase something at the time being, does not mean you are poor. We as a society throw the word “poverty” around without actually LIVING in poverty.”
I completely agree with this statement. We use the term “poverty” without truly realizing what it is.

In today’s society, everyone refers to themselves as poor, without being in actual poverty. Just because you do not have enough money to purchase something at the time being, does not mean you are poor. We as a society throw the word “poverty” around without actually LIVING in poverty.

In our time today Poverty is rather significantly high in the Philippines and in other countries. You need money to buy food. You need money to send your own kids to school and to go to other places. Basically, you need money to survive in this harsh world. These are all costs of being poor. You cannot do or should I say cannot do what you ‘need’ or wants to be able to simply because you are poor. Those people who are barely able to pay for food and shelter simply can’t consider these other expenses. When people are excluded…

New Project

I am going to be creating an animated PowerPoint discussing different ways in which people in your community can help alleviate poverty. I am so excited to share this information and bring up some shocking facts about what we’ve been doing wrong this whole time. My PowerPoint will be able to help you go out into the world and make a great influence in the poverty rates of your community. Tune in to see some updates on this mini project… Coming soon!!

Research Presentation Progress

An update on my research multimedia project, and so far I have been able to outline the content. I will be talking about the myths of poverty versus the reality with factual evidence. I am using the program Adobe Spark as a way to include audio components and essentially make a presentable multimedia slideshow. Do stay tuned for once it is complete I will provide a file in order to check it out.

MEME

For the past week I have researched information on poverty. Specifically I have learned about the reality of the myths about poverty. Now that I’m more educated and aware I am finally can create their meme and say I can’t relate to believing in these misconceptions.

Our progress

We still have a long way to go but we have been analyzing our statistics on how to reach a bigger audience.

We have to work on making our blog more appealing so that we can reach people outside our community. We are going to use hashtags and interact with more accounts that are also interested in helping change the poverty in out society.

Donate!

Donating food, clothes, money etc to any shelter near you is going to help many people. You may think it won’t do a lot but it can help those who in need and give people in poverty the necessary materials.

Yet Another Meme

This time the meme is referencing an issue with the MTA. Since the catchphrase “See something, Say something” is emphasized by the service themselves a decided to call them out using their the same phrase but telling them to utilize it themselves. Many homeless people residing in NYC live in these stations so if the MTA wants us to say something they need to see that they also say something about these people living in poverty

WHAT IS POVERTY?

This is a great blog clearly describing why poverty essentially is while also mentioning the other types of poverty.

Poverty

What comes to your mind if you say Poverty? Lack of money? Lack of Property? Limited amount of basic needs? Poverty is about not having enough money to meet basic needs including food, clothing and shelter. However, poverty is more, much more than just not having enough money.

In our time today Poverty is rather significantly high in the Philippines and in other countries. You need money to buy food. You need money to send your own kids to school and to go to other places. Basically, you need money to survive in this harsh world. These are all costs of being poor.

The Petition Progression

By creating a petition, here at P.O.P we hoped to show that we aren’t all words but that we want to take action as well. We have taken the extra step by creating an Instagram page in order to rally support for our petition. However, it has been difficult to gather signatures, as most people are not willing to take the extra step. If social media influencers recognized us, their fanbase could be aware of our petition and we could possible get more likes.

Thank you for all the support!
