POVERTY

It is strange and somehow ironic, but even the best economically developed countries are facing
this kind of issue, poverty; a social problem wherein most countries have been paving it for
decades.

Poverty is the state of being economically poor followed by the lack of the basic needs in life.
This has been a very severe issue that has troubled many nations, especially at those countries
with high populations, and considering that this issue is something that many of us know about,
and not realizing just how big of a problem it is. There are so many factors that contributes to
this issue, but one thing is for sure, poverty is becoming a common issue in our society which
leads us to not care at all, which is not a good thing due to the fact that we are society itself.

To sum up everything that has been stated, poverty is not an issue we could just surpass, and this
actively illustrates that, as a normal citizen and a part of the society we could do something,
especially us, the youth who could probably change what’s ahead of us.
