Poverty In Ghana

In the years since the earthquake hit Haiti, resupplying health care, rebuilding structures, and improving living conditions, has been underfinanced. For example, Dr. Ryan K of Harvard School of Public spent three years studying the poverty in Haiti. His particular position and experience adds an internal perspective. In his text “Activity-based costing of healthcare delivery, Haiti” he explains the how the higher standards of primary care systems can advance health results, maximize efficient use of resources and improve equality in health care.

A country I would like to discuss for this post is Haiti. I have not visited or studied this country, but thought of writing about Haiti after doing some research. A photovoice qualitative research methodology would be appropriate to study poverty in Haiti, because this country has the highest percentage of poverty in the urban and rural areas in Haiti. Poverty in the urban and rural areas affects many people in several ways. Poverty is present in those areas, due to natural disasters when weather conditions destroy crops; lack of income, unemployment, education, and etc. poverty is present in Haiti when children, adults, and families are not given the necessary resources they need in order to survive around the conditions where they live.

Bayley Arens POL-271W CAP Poverty Poverty is a situation in life that people have to deal with because of their inability to afford food or other basic material needs like, beds, clothes, or medicine. Both Haiti and Zimbabwe’s communities suffer from poverty. Haiti has a per capita income of about $556 making it one of the poorest countries in the western hemisphere this is mostly because of the trade liberalization that occurred in the late 1900s, “In recent years, Haiti has undergone rapid trade liberalization, and it is now one of the most open economies in the world. Liberalization of the rice market started in the 1980s, but the final stroke came in the 1994-1995 when, under pressure from the international community (notably, the IMF and the United States), the tariff on rice was cut from 35

The disproportionate rates of poverty among African americans has continued to be a persistent social problem that the United States faces. “The purpose of this article is to examine how poverty has been approached in the media, specifically on the opinion pages of American newspaper.” Poverty is often explained in three different ways. The first explanation is blaming the person for ending up in poverty. As people often associate poverty with a lack of responsibility and it has also been noted that poverty is blamed on the poor when race is involved. As the media shows the poor are frequently the minorities and the African Americans, even though most welfare recipients are white. The next explanation is the culture of poverty theory. The founder of this theory has said even

In my situation, I am very fortunate to be brought up in the environment I'm in. I have a roof over my head, food to eat, clean clothes on my back, fresh water to drink, and another day to live. In Angola, children die every day from malnutrition and diseases like malaria. They don't receive the proper treatment needed because families don't have enough money. So many of us are so fortunate to live the lives we have, but we don't give a second to realize that children all over the world are dying everyday from being neglected. In Angola, the country is rich in oil. There are cities that flourish in wealth that you wouldn't even think that poverty exists. However, the outside doesn't always match the inside. The government has neglected them

Economic development has to occur after a period of sustained economic growth. It is therefore the growth in total economic output accompanied by changes in the structure of the economy.

Poverty: a single word that has the power to define a person’s whole life, though few actually know the meaning of it. Those who live in poverty are often stereotyped as “weak, lazy, uneducated, unmotivated, substance abusers” and many other disparaging remarks. Many students and adults alike are not accurately educated on the topic of poverty, presumably getting their information from the media and others who are not well educated on the topic, either. This places preconceived notions and stigmas into their mind without ever actually understanding what it means to be impoverished. Poverty has many faces; hunger, illness, lack of shelter, lack of education, and many more. Poverty is also described as “powerlessness, lack of representation and freedom” (The World Bank Organization, 2004). For those living in poverty, education is the most valuable thing to have in this day and age and without it, most people get left behind. However, future educators can help to prevent this by becoming better educated on the topic of poverty, the impact it has on their students, learning how to teach to those living in poverty through differentiation, and how to advocate and inspire their students as well.

The struggle for better health care and healthy life in Nigeria is complicated, when given the country’s social determinants. These determinants are so convoluted that it is difficult to isolate any of one of them. For example, environmental factors such, as safe water, clean air and housing are realistic important, however, the prominence of good sanitation for better health is equally essential. Physical environment i.e. harmless water, unpolluted air, healthy environment, better housing, social communities and other infrastructures are all contributing factors to better health. Relevantly, employment and education are both important also. Reports show that people in employment are comparatively healthier than those without steady income, and particularly those who have more control over their working environments. As noted, income and social status are attributed to better health. Document reflects that the greater the gap between the rich and poor people, the more differences in their health and living condition. Holtz (2017) affirms that higher mortality and lower life expectancy is common among those in the lower grades of employment when compared to those in higher grades.

Poverty is a very big issue in Africa, North of South America and Asia. This is because these countries in these continents are less economically developed (LEDC). Due to this the people are more vulnerable to catching diseases and dying. Africa has the highest amount of poverty leading to 91% of death to be cause by malaria. The reason for these deaths is because the government is finding it difficult to come up with the money to buy the correct medicine. Countries around the Sub Saharan region spend 40% of its health budget on Malaria. The area of that has the highest amount of death due to malaria and poverty is the Middle East with 38,000 annually, closely followed by Asia with 36,000.

Poverty is “the state or condition of having little or no money, goods, or means of support; condition of being poor” (Dictionary.com, 2017). Based off this definition poverty is a condition that can cause a cascade of cause and effect actions that is detrimental to families and individuals both physically and mentally. Haan, Kaplan, & Camacho (2017) completed a study on the correlation between social and economic status and health in adults in Oakland, CA. They found that the lower the socioeconomic class the higher incidents of diseases and deaths related to chronic diseases (p.1161-1162). Just being without money or little money was not the only indication of health indication, a person living in an area with higher poverty issues
