=**Money, a cup of glass**=

Money is like a cup of glass. Once you think it's enough, you see the bubbles flow down and waste the liquid. However, as time passes, you see the bubbles decreasing and realize the glass isn't full. Money is the same; once you use it too much, you realize that it's all gone. However, poverty is different; it's caused by many different ways such as natural disasters, wars and etc. Poverty is all around us; even in the US. We say we care, but do we really know what is going on? Are we really helping them?media type="youtube" key="B3WaZIwVr5w" height="315" width="560"

What I Know Inspiration document || || Include notes about your reasoning for your choices in red || This book ‘Ending Poverty and Hunger’ is a book about poverty and how we can stop it. This book teaches me about the basic definition of poverty, along with the causes. This book helped me a lot to get the basic idea of what poverty is, and it narrowed the things I needed to research about. I liked how they linked poverty and hunger as the same topic because I also agree that they are the same.

page from ‘The Hunger Project’. It tells the basic facts about poverty.



‘Percent of people in the world at different poverty levels, 2005’

By looking at this graph, we can see that most people in the world earn no more than $10 a day. As I looked at the graph, I realized that being 'average', meaning your father being a doctor and earning hundreds of dollars a day is not average for a lot of people. I felt really thankful to my parents for having me as their child.

This Youtube video is about what is poverty, how do we prevent it, and why we should be concerned about it.

As I watched this video, I got emotional because unlike articles, they had pictures and animation, which made it more sad. However, I learned from this video again, what is poverty and I learned new things such as how to we prevent and why?

 * Statistics*

This is a site that contains a lot of statistics about Hunger and Poverty.


 * Encyclopedia*

http://school.eb.com/comptons/article-9276526?query=poverty&ct=

This is a Britannica School Edition Encyclopedia. I used this site instead of Wikipedia because Wikipedia is made from normal people all around the world, not by professional people.

This site focused more on American poverty than African or Mid-Asian poverty, so I enjoyed it because I learned a lot of new things.
