From the knowledge-picture (originally shared by 'Did you know' on google+), we can see the job of archaeologists and paleontologists, to find out how present humans have evolved from nothing, and obtained such power. Then we know poverty for humans is always there, not human-made as some people announced, while what humans are supposed to do is to remove it. It is a pity, humans have not become capable enough to remove all stains, which is problem.

  How do we know that poverty was always there? And how do we actually measure poverty between two totally different cultures?
  
  Poverty in its present form is totally man made, the less cooperation there is between men, the more some are pushed into poverty.

  Do you then think that everyone can live the life of a rich man? Because, according to him, anything less is poverty.
  
  Or do you look and find that all in the first world get enough to eat; there are no more corpses created from starvation, and thus no poverty?

  II don't even think that everyone should live the life of a rich man-it's not necessary for avoiding poverty.
  
  Of course I don't look at the first world and find no poverty, it's plentiful.
  
  Your point somewhat eludes me though I must say.

  You define poverty one way, I define it another and the rich man has a third definition. Which is correct? Mine, with almost no poverty because no one is dying of hunger? Yours because some people are richer than others or the rich man who thinks anything less than a yacht and jet is poverty?

  Not "no one dying from hunger" rather "few dying from hunger" But the fact that more don't die from hunger is because society throws them a bone, not because they are not in poverty.
  
  And my definition of poverty is not "some people are richer than others" but some people do not have enough to live on, that's live, not exist at some almost animal level.

  Define live, then.
  
  That's a major problem to me, John. You absolutely refuse to put any kind of definition at all out there, except that people with necessities of life can still be in poverty. You're on record earlier as saying that a caveman was not living in poverty, but people today with vastly more, are. Still without defining the word - if you want serious consideration, you're going to have to do better than that.

  Live = have access to that which their peers have access to.
  
  To not have to chose between heating and eating, to not have to forego meals in order to feed their children.

  Peers = other people. Which is what I said you meant; some have things others do not and that means that those "others" are poor. Got no yacht, but the neighbor does? You're in poverty. No mansion, but the guy down the street a ways does? You're in poverty. And so on.
  
  And then you say that the "working poor" in the US (and I assume the UK) are not in poverty, because they have the necessities of life. None are dying of exposure or hunger. Not even dehydration. An odd statement coming from you, that there is no one in poverty. Make up your mind here!

  Even people from one culture rob people from another culture of resources or anything else, it is a form of removing poverty in the present stage of human civilization. Consider the planet in one, consider human evolution in one with different parts. We used to have nothing as in the picture, and now we are still far from being capable to have everything. We all see and satisfied with those scenes of happy cats playing, but we should always remember there are millions of other cats tortured by cruelty. We're still on the way, and have a long road to obtain enough ability to deal with nature, the final resource of enough necessity.
  
  It is true that some cultures, such as eastern and western ones, have rises and falls along the human history, and have enough ability to self-repair from wounds. But it is also true some people in one culture can't develop themselves without help or even management from outside. We have to face up to reality, however painful it is.
  
  Before we've got enough necessities, the fight would never be possible to stop!

  I would wager that there was a time in human history when an extra bear skin or flint knife made you part of the selfish 1%. Poverty is relative, of course. Many in modern economies are called poor despite owning an automobile, flat screen TV, a dish washing machine, air conditioning, refrigerator, washer/dryer, DVD player, smart phone, etc.... How can one be truly poor yet 100 lbs. over weight? In most of the poor countries of the world the children of the poor starve to death, they do not get fat playing videos games.

"Poverty is general scarcity or dearth, or the state of one who lacks a certain amount of material possessions or money. Absolute poverty or destitution refers to the deprivation of basic human needs, which commonly includes food, water, sanitation, clothing, shelter, health care and education. Relative poverty is defined contextually as economic inequality in the location or society in which people live." Wikipedia

Are we discussing absolute poverty, relative poverty, penury or scarcity?

" Penury: destitution, pauperism, pauperdom, beggary, indigence, pennilessness, impoverishment, neediness, need, hardship, impecuniousness.
2 Scarcity: deficiency, dearth, shortage, paucity, insufficiency, absence, lack."

I personally know somebody right now who is unable to eat until payments come in tomorrow. He's going without food for two days.

He is not in the third world. He is unable to work because he is a full-time caregiver. The benefits they get run out routinely, they have to choose which bills to pay and *often do not have enough to eat.*

There are children in this country who's ONLY MEAL is a school provided lunch.

Maybe nobody is actually starving to death, but there are definitely malnourished children, people skipping meals because they can't afford to eat.

There are also people with no shelter.

There are children with no coats this winter.

It is completely fallacious to think absolute poverty has been eliminated in the first world. Until everyone has *enough* to eat, a roof over their head, access to a doctor and clothes that fit and aren't rags, we still have absolute poverty.

And.

We have 5 times as many empty houses as we have homeless people.

Tell me that's not man-made.

Artificial scarcity to force people to work or starve is the current basis of our society - and I don't see it changing any time soon.

  I believe that concept of poverty was established after the selection of what metals and gems were of value. I believe the concept of cash and coin money was established in Europe after Alexander The Great. Before the concepts of precious metals, gems, and money there was no more poverty among men then among animals. Nobody had to pay for earth, wind, fire, food or water, shelter was where you found it. Poverty is a by-product of human progress and gathering of limited precious resources.

  You are right that treasure is always there, and people born first who hadn't got treasures were all in poverty. With time, some people, such as Alexander The Great, got it, and others not, which is human progress. But, I don't agree with you that poverty is a by-product, because we used to have nothing as in the picture, which is the point of this discussion. The reason to feel it by-product is the difference between rich and poor in civilized societies, unlike in primitive society people were all in need. Natural resources are limited, but human intelligence could be unlimited.

  Hui, poverty is the opposite of wealth. there was no poverty before there was wealth. Poverity is a by-product of wealth, you can't have one without the other. Natural resourses are limited also precious metals and gems with exceptional finds. Human intelligents could be unlimited, but not yet.

  I agree with you, junko, that no one, then no the other one, but comparing "poverty" today with "non-poverty" 10,000 years ago, which one would fall into your category of "poverty"? We may not call it "poverty", but it's not wealth. Bottom line, it should be the forerunner of poverty.

  I see your point, wilderness. Of course there is poverty today, but point here is whether it is always there or human-created? We may say a group of people facilitate the degree of poverty of another group, but it's still always there. What humans are supposed to do is to eliminate or lessen it. However, it is a pity, humans have not powerful enough to achieve that.

  Even before people paid for shelter, clothing and food - there were people who died of exposure and starved. There have always been those - from the dawn of time - who did not hunt as well - did not run as fast or for whatever reason - were unable to gather as much food and skins as the next tribe.
  
  That happened long before money or anything of value traded hands.
  
  Poverty, however, is a concept, so that concept is a human construct. And, it's a variable. Today, a family that lives in a broken-down mobile home without running water and electricity is said to live in poverty. But, take a stone age family and give them that box called a mobile home and they would feel like kings.
  
  Poverty is a human construct.

  But people didn't starve amongst plenty for want of money-they starved through a shortage of young hunters, or too many unlucky hunts.
  
  I dispute that the stone age family living in a broken down mobile home would feel like kings, they would probably ask where they were supposed to hunt for food and where they were supposed to get water from.

  ?? Of course they died amongst plenty - they died because they could not bring down that Mastodon, or died trying. Or, as you say, too many unlucky hunts; meat everywhere around them but they can't find it.
  
  Your stone age family can hunt the neighborhood dogs and look for an operating sprinkler hose for water.

  Why would they have needed to know anything beyond some roots being edible for most of the winter?

  Kathryn L Hillposted 9 years agoin reply to this
  Because roots are not enough to survive on. So, consider:
  They probably stored many other edible items in the caves allowing them to consume wild yams, potatoes, beets, carrots, onions, leeks, garlics, maybe sun-dried apricots, peaches, grapes, prunes during the winter months…Maybe they would gather, dry, grind and soak wild-growing corn in water from the stream and then after the discovery and usefulness of fire they would cook the mush… And maybe rice was also growing wild in the marshes. They would store the grains and do something similar with the grains of rice… grind, soak cook… You just never know… Or maybe the earth was a much warmer place way back when.
  The point is, even when there was very little, but just enough, people were able to survive.

  Yes, our ancestors were hunter-gatherers, but when no animals are around and there is a drought - or winter - people starve - and freeze.
  
  That is poverty in today's terms. Even if people share all they have - if they have little to share, it doesn't go very far. Entire civilizations have died out due to weather woes and starving.
  
  Because people have experienced hunger - they have a desire to find better ways to grow crops and hunt animals.
  
  Because people have experienced cold - they have a desire to build warmer huts - or migrate to warmer climes.
  
  Necessity is the father of invention after all. When people start living lives without want - they will stop striving to make the world a better place.
  
  Then, devolution begins.

  Hi, Kathryn L Hill, how are you?
  All of sudden, I remember this topic that we dropped here.
  
  To be clear, when I say "God creates", I did not blame him. The most qualified father only teaches children how to live and to create fortune, but does not give them ready-made (which is spoil, kind but sad). So, my point is man is not qualified to create poverty, but a group of men can facilitate the poverty of another group. Somehow, same thing with Nature!
  
  We are on one planet out of numerous planets, then we separate natural society from human society. Smart humans discovered the law in nature, i.e. stronger animals prey on weaker ones. However, from the eyes of Heavenly Father, so-called nature and humans on this planet are in one, also: let it go! Until balance! Hope the Earth can live that long.
  
  By the way, I believe in Buddha, and won't change!

  Hi Hui I am fine. Hope you are too. Here is your topic: Present humans have evolved from nothing,(cave men) and have obtained much power.
  "...we know poverty for humans is always there, not human-made as some people announced, while what humans are supposed to do is to remove it. It is a pity, humans have not become capable enough to remove all stains…"
  I think you are saying that humans are not helping each other as they should to eradicate poverty. Who can argue this?
  
  However, have you ever tried to help a homeless person?
  They are homeless because of many missteps they themselves have taken. They have many habits which have landed them where they are.
  
  I would like to help them as much as the next person and have come up with many plans which may or may not work.
  
  Plan One. give them art supplies and have them paint pictures: abstracts, or whatever. Have a gallery show. Give them the proceeds.
  Plan Two: Give them something to sell on the road side...something worth, say, a dollar. Handmade soaps, jewelry, ?
  Plan Three. Write their life-stories, poems etc. and print copies for them so they can sell them on the streets.
  Plan Four: Give them a free post office box/ mailing address so they will have an address to list when they apply for work. Who wants to employ someone who does not have an address to send a check?
  There are many reasons these ideas will not work.
  
  Got any other ideas to help eradicate poverty without increasing taxes which will put all of us in the poor house?

  Good question.

  I try to correct it the next time.
  Many do not have this desire to not upset others. I do not like to upset my fellow humans.
  Some do not care in the least. They care more about money. Like the Monsanto folks. Like power hungry people who pillage the land and the people.
  It is sad.
  I like Buddha and the eight-fold path too.
  "The Noble Eightfold Path is the fourth of the Buddha's Four Noble Truths; the first element of the Noble Eightfold Path is, in turn, an understanding of the Four Noble Truths. It is also known as the Middle Path or Middle Way."
