Poverty, thought of as insolvable and perpetual, has not only shaped the lives of billions of people, but has also served as the foundation for countless of generations lives. 1.2 billion people survive on less than a dollar a day ultimately resulting in the formation of various major global issues such as disease, malnutrition, lack of education, crime, and eventually record breaking mortality rates. Although many of us are unaware of how poverty directly affects our own personal lives, it is clear that destitution can virtually be found anywhere, including your own community. Weather it is through influencing crime, prohibiting the ability to gain an education, or producing inability to provide the standards of living for a person, all of

In a graph titled “Poverty Will Only End by 2030 if Growth is Shared,” Espen Prydz bases his conclusion off of an argument similar to Singer’s. Opposed to Singers solution, Prydz believes that government and nonprofit organizations should share certain percentages to the poorest 40% in need. The author predicts that the “projected poverty rate is expected to decline past the 2.7% goal by 2030 if the bottom 40% population economically grows 2% faster than the faster than the global average.”(Prydz). This means that if nations growth were to be distributed amongst the poorest 40% of our population, our global poverty will quickly diminish under the projected goal within a relatively short timespan. This idea relates closely with Singer's argument because both solutions are based on distributing income to the poor; however, Prydz believes that this wealth disposition should be managed by rich nations governments and nonprofit organizations such as the World Bank. This graph can be used to support Singer's solution because it displays the projected statistics of what the global poverty rate would be if our wealth is distributed. It also supports Singers conclusion because it proves that the sharing of wealth will certainly halt poverty; temporarily at …show more content…
Many newly discussed solutions reveal that government enact policies are able to control poverty rates. In Rebecca Vallas’ and Melissa Boteach’s article “The Top 10 Solutions to Cut Poverty and Grow the Middle Class,” the authors inform readers of the possible and feasible solutions to end the enormous poverty rate that has continued to destroy the lives of billions of citizens for numerous decades. The authors provide both current and future suggestions, hoping to make distant generations more successful without the troubles of a large poverty rate. The two believe that the current poverty situations “are the direct result of policy choices that put wealth and income into… a strong middle class.” (Vallas and Boteach) and with intelligent government enact policies, our nation's poverty rate is sure to decline significantly. In another source, Marcelo Guadiana explains in her article that capitalism in industrialized societies has been a main factor as to the disappearance of severe poverty due to a free-market economy. The author states that in the last 30 years, “capitalism flourished and globalization opened up its gates, 1 billion
