There could be many causes to the excessive rates of poverty. Trying to fix poverty seems to always be the unfixable problem of every society. What are the main causes of poverty though? Once we get down to the roots the answers to our problems could be simpler.

One major cause I would like to point out is, if you are already poor it is harder to get the medical attention, education and standard of living. I feel as though we fail to tend to those who have so little. 


For average everyday people like us who don't have access to tons of money or political power it may seem harder to help those in need, but its not. There are various ways to help people who get lower then the minimum in life.

For instance you can donate food, clothes, blankets and any other necessity to charity that you may not use or need anymore. Also, you can volunteer your time and service in the food kitchen, shelters and orphanages. You can also get more involved by educating those who have not been able to realize the severe poverty in the world today. Any sort of knowledge reflected on the general public is a step closer to showing people todays problems. You may be to busy with work and family yo volunteer your time, so in that case spare a few dollars to an organization, program or person in need. 

I don't think people expect just one person to fix this poverty problem. Ideally, we all should work together to see a different world, so we can can help those who can not afford to even keep themselves alive.
