https://padlet.com/adesantis/g49wegzqzqvx Reflect on the question and jot down 3-5 sentences explaining what poverty means to you. en-us 2020-03-15 18:48:38 UTC 2020-03-31 17:57:23 UTC hello@padlet.com http://ksscensorthis.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/ch_wide_bankimoon-20130401172350722846-620x349.jpg https://padlet.com/adesantis/g49wegzqzqvx/wish/466441351 Poverty means to me not having your needs meet. Even if you have a home, living week to week not knowing if you can pay your bills is poverty, to me. Without being able to pay your bill or continuously being behind on them creates stress and debt. Many people  once they get into debt they go into a never ending cycle of it. For some, this leads to eviction which leads to homelessness, the worst level of poverty to be in. ]]> 2020-03-19 15:05:04 UTC https://padlet.com/adesantis/g49wegzqzqvx/wish/466441351 https://padlet.com/adesantis/g49wegzqzqvx/wish/466572582 Poverty is when someone cannot meet the minimum level of living standards. They lack personal needs like food, clothing and maybe homes. What can cause poverty, is a overpopulation in a  community and it can be hard to find a job. If the community is overpopulated then the demand for goods is high and then the price is even higher.

They lack the means to be able to afford their basic everyday needs without running out of money. For many people this could mean not being able to afford groceries or be able to pay their bills. When bills don't get payed, debt starts to build up and many people loose their homes, insurance and other things because they can no longer afford them. I would say many people living in poverty are living pay check to pay check just hoping they are able to afford what they need to survive. The stress from poverty can be overwhelming and most people find it difficult to break the cycle and get themselves above the poverty line. ]]> 2020-03-20 13:55:39 UTC https://padlet.com/adesantis/g49wegzqzqvx/wish/467840724 https://padlet.com/adesantis/g49wegzqzqvx/wish/468034284 To me, poverty is when someone cannot afford basic human necessities. For example, if someone cannot afford to buy food, water, or a house/somewhere to live, then I would consider them impoverished. Not being able to buy extra items does not make you impoverished, it's the inability to buy things that a human legitimately needs to survive. ]]> 2020-03-20 15:34:16 UTC https://padlet.com/adesantis/g49wegzqzqvx/wish/468034284 https://padlet.com/adesantis/g49wegzqzqvx/wish/468081942 Poverty means not having enough money to pay for basic necessities. Not having enough money for clean water, food, shelter, heat, or any other things required for living. For example not being able to provide a roof over your families head is an example of poverty]]> 2020-03-20 15:59:45 UTC https://padlet.com/adesantis/g49wegzqzqvx/wish/468081942 https://padlet.com/adesantis/g49wegzqzqvx/wish/468145089 Poverty means that money is scarce within a family or household. With this being said, many who are in poverty cannot obtain needs or luxuries others can. This is unfair because they cannot afford proper shelter, food, or clothing. Those who are in poverty are often in debt,  which causes more struggles for families in this state.

These necessities include food, water, and shelter. Living under the poverty line is miserable and shouldn't be something anyone has to go through. ]]> 2020-03-20 18:22:01 UTC https://padlet.com/adesantis/g49wegzqzqvx/wish/468322422 https://padlet.com/adesantis/g49wegzqzqvx/wish/468352285 Amber Franklin
Poverty is a state in which a person can not financially afford the basic necessities that they need. It is when their income level is so low that basic human needs can not be met. Some people that are living in poverty can’t afford rent to have a place to live or even food to eat. ]]> 2020-03-20 18:45:09 UTC https://padlet.com/adesantis/g49wegzqzqvx/wish/468352285 https://padlet.com/adesantis/g49wegzqzqvx/wish/468408062 Poverty means not having the money to pay for the basics: things we all need to live a safe and healthy life.

It is a lifestyle (unchosen in most cases) of struggle. We can't choose our situations or parents and sadly some kids live in situations where their parents struggle with drug/alcohol addiction which causes some children to go without 2-3 meals every day.]]> 2020-03-31 17:48:41 UTC https://padlet.com/adesantis/g49wegzqzqvx/wish/485082195
