I believe that many people have been swiped by the topic of "the nature of poverty". There are many opinions, but there are some ridiculous opinions. Today, I would like to explain to you my point of view, what is the essence of poverty?Recently, I forgot to see an article called "The Nature of Poverty" in **. The article mentions that the essence of poverty is "laziness". Seeing this point of view, I can't help but think of a joke: it is said that one day, a rich man came to a poor village. He saw the villagers lazily basking in the sun, so he asked, "Why don't you go to work and earn money?"The villagers replied, "Why do we want to make money?".We've already had food to eat. ”
The joke, while hilarious, does not illustrate that the essence of poverty is "laziness". In fact, poverty is a complex social phenomenon, and its emergence and development involve many factors, such as education, health care, employment, policies, etc.
Let's start with education. In our country, educational resources are mainly concentrated in cities, while rural areas are relatively scarce. As a result, children in poor areas do not receive a good education, which affects their future development. Without knowledge, without skills, they can only sell their labor to make ends meet, is this "lazy"?
Let's talk about medical care. The level of medical facilities and medical security in poor areas is much lower than in cities. When they get sick, they can't get timely treatment and even give up because of poverty. Is this "lazy"?
Let's talk about employment. Employment opportunities in poor areas are very limited for a variety of reasons. Many young people have to go out to work, away from their families, and endure all kinds of hardships. Is this "lazy"?
Finally, let's talk about policy. Although our country has been working hard to alleviate poverty, in the process of policy implementation, it is inevitable that there will be a phenomenon of "running and leaking". Even if some poor families have received policy support, they are still unable to get out of poverty due to various reasons. Is this "lazy"?
Therefore, the essence of poverty is definitely not "laziness". Rather, due to various complex social factors, the poor cannot get out of the vicious circle of poverty. In order to truly solve the problem of poverty, we need to start from education, medical care, employment, policies and other aspects to help the poor people embark on the road to poverty alleviation and prosperity.
In conclusion, I would like to say that poverty is not a sin, but a social problem that we all need to face. Let us replace discrimination and prejudice with care and help, and work together to create a fair and harmonious society.
My point of view on this issue has been very clear. The essence of poverty is not "laziness", but a complex social phenomenon. I hope that after reading this article, you will be inspired and let us work together to eradicate poverty.
