Title: What type of conflict is poverty?
Post by: k.tse on October 30, 2012, 06:49:34 pm

Is it social conflict where there is a struggle between the rich and poor? Or could it be something else?








------ previous thread:
Is poverty a global conflict?

I was thinking of writing a speech on the issue of everyone needing to do their part to help countries that suffer from poverty and link to to Rugmaker but I'm not sure if I can actually do this or not.

Any advice on this idea? I'm stressing guys, the exam is in two days!

I would say that poverty is a result of conflict.

As in physical poverty? (Poor, without food/shelter?)
Or emotional poverty? (I think of Scrooge from Christmas Carol...)


What causes poverty?? Moreover, what conflict does it grow from??
A failure of government to provide? +international intervention?
Or simple struggle to grow enough in harsh conditions??


Good question

Yes!
So to emerge from poverty, people need to develop means to surpass this class conflict and regard each other as equal?
