The government has set the line for poverty at 23,050 for a family of four. The government mainly bases this number off food costs and not as much for cost of shelter or other expenses. ]]> 2018-10-31 17:12:17 UTC https://padlet.com/adesantis/btixg79yr2ql/wish/299090699 https://padlet.com/adesantis/btixg79yr2ql/wish/299096958 Poverty is when someone does not make enough money to get by on their own, or when families can't get by. People in poverty can barely afford shelter and food, much less anything else they might want and/or need. Usually when a family is in poverty the government sends assistance to families. Sometimes these families get help for funding education and other necessities.]]> 2018-10-31 17:23:46 UTC https://padlet.com/adesantis/btixg79yr2ql/wish/299096958 https://padlet.com/adesantis/btixg79yr2ql/wish/299100185 Poverty is a situation or a social and economic condition of the population that does not allow it to satisfy their basic needs, be they physical or psychic]]> 2018-10-31 17:29:35 UTC https://padlet.com/adesantis/btixg79yr2ql/wish/299100185 https://padlet.com/adesantis/btixg79yr2ql/wish/299137318 Poverty, to me, is where a person is in a very low situation in their life. they don't have enough money for things they want. Only barely enough for necessities. but sometimes not they don't even have that and need more help to even get needs to live in modern day. ]]> 2018-10-31 18:37:20 UTC https://padlet.com/adesantis/btixg79yr2ql/wish/299137318 https://padlet.com/adesantis/btixg79yr2ql/wish/301888723 Poverty is when an individual or family find themselves constantly worrying about money. Because of this they really fit the description of "live to work" which I believe is not healthy. Poverty is when someone cannot afford some of the necessities in life like health insurance. Or where any little bump in the road could destroy you or a family. ]]> 2018-11-08 04:03:28 UTC https://padlet.com/adesantis/btixg79yr2ql/wish/301888723 https://padlet.com/adesantis/btixg79yr2ql/wish/302251842 Poverty is when the person or family can't afford what they need to survive.

That person cannot afford simple necessities like food, healthcare, clothing and a place to live comfortably. Even more difficult if that person also has a family to take care of. ]]> 2018-11-16 19:03:45 UTC https://padlet.com/adesantis/btixg79yr2ql/wish/305413048 https://padlet.com/adesantis/btixg79yr2ql/wish/305544717 Poverty is "rock bottom." Imagine not having a warm home during cold winter days. Imagine having to choose from feeding your kids or paying the rent. Imagine working hard for little to no pay, and you can't complain because it helps you get by the slow passing day. These are the little glimpses of poverty. ]]> 2018-11-17 14:44:36 UTC https://padlet.com/adesantis/btixg79yr2ql/wish/305544717 mcgrath_daniel19 https://padlet.com/adesantis/btixg79yr2ql/wish/306419918 Poverty is where you only have enough money for the bare minimum.

In other words this is when someone doesn't have a steady income.

The meaning of this to me means that you are economically challenged and have the risk of being completely dependent on the governments regulations and support systems. While these systems that have been implemented so that ne may survive off of the “bare minimum”, they have simultaneously caught some individuals in an endless loop in which they can not create a better life for themselves and this results in a general degradation within both the individual and the employment standards as a whole.]]> 2018-12-18 19:41:40 UTC https://padlet.com/adesantis/btixg79yr2ql/wish/315678633
