Value:
Focus on root causes of poverty

Poverty


  • < $1.25/day
  • sickness
  • absense of necessities
  • lack of security
  • education
  • high infant mortality
  • access to clean water
  • lack of influence/voice
  • inequality
  • lack of dignity
  • NOT necessarily a lack of happiness!
  • vulnerability

In Canada (to you?)

  • hunger, uncertainty
  • depend on others
  • desperation?
  • unsure of the future

What would happen if...


  1. State financial collapse (bye bye banks and credit)

  2. Government recalls all student loans

  3. No one to bail you out


At what point would you feel poverty?
