A lot of countries are helping to solve this problem. So are the organizations around the world. They give and donate but we see no change in some countries. Africa is one of the places that are really struggling to solve this problem. Up to this date, one trillion US dollars are donated to the Africa government but up until this point, we don’t see much change in Africa. How could this happen? Where did all the money go? These are the questions that people ask.
Well, corruption from the government is one thing. Dependency from the AID is another issue that is stopping the African countries to be free from poverty. In this case, the government corruption is one of the biggest problems for the African countries to be free from the poverty cycle. One of the victim from poverty is Ethiopia. So far, as we all can see, the country Ethiopia is one of the poorest country in Africa and until this day, we haven’t seen much change for the poor people in that country. money is given …show more content…

I agree with that statement because up to this date, 1 trillion US dollars are given to those African countries and we haven’t seen much change in the African countries. We can see for example, the country of Ethiopia. Ethiopia is one of Africa’s poorest country, and a lot of AID is collected and given to Ethiopia and we haven’t seen much change in them. this is caused by the factors that I have mentioned before; the corruption in the country, the economical state of the country, the government of the country, and also the environment or the culture of the country. Because of those factors, giving AID for African countries are not effective and it doesn’t help to break the poverty

  • Poverty Rhetorical Analysis

    The association of poverty with Africa goes together like apple pie and America. From the advertisements of malnourished, African children to our education, or rather lack of education, about African countries in the American school system, the concept of Africa as an impoverished continent has been engrained into our minds. This rhetoric of Africa has lasted over decades, with a substantial amount of aid being given to African countries to rectify this problem. And yet, sixteen of the world’s poorest countries were identified as being in sub-Saharan Africa as of 2013. This insinuates that foreign countries and organizations that provide aid, need to reevaluate why aid isn’t making a bigger impact at fixing the problem.

    Despite the great wealth the United States possesses, it has for long struggled with poverty which is said to be inherited from one generation to another. The culture of poverty hinders those affected from economic betterment however much assistance they obtain from social programs put in place. The term Culture of poverty is believed to have been coined by Oscar Lewis, who suggested that children who grow up in poverty-stricken families are highly likely to adopt the norms and practices that encourage poverty. Thus, these children, he believed, would replicate the adapted values in their lives which would in turn generate a cycle of intergenerational poverty in the long run (Bell et al, 2013). Thus the culture of poverty is a topic which creates heated debates in both the public and political arenas.
