Can we eradicate poverty completely????

we have a world body called the united Nations. But my feeling is the organization is run as per the whims of the security council members. The main question is why there is a security council at all. All members should have equal right to vote and majority vote would decide the matter. If the UN becomes truly democratic then the ways for eradicating poverty can be discussed.In the present state the individual nations have to take the responsibility of eradicating poverty in their own country.

Poverty will continue as long as people don't control the population. You would have notices that in some developed countries the government has to plead with the people with incetives to produce children. But in the case of poor countries the women are virtually baby making machines.

Poverty will not dissappear....it has been with mankind since ages...even when i think barter system was there they had a system to distinguish rich and poor...and even then poor were exploited...and it will go on... Do u think the rich care of poor...NO!!...the US can spend billions to build weaponry that they will probably never use but will not give a poor country monetary support that is a must for their upliftment... And even these people also dont learn when the govt. wants to help... they ask them to control population they dont listen...they want more hands as it will get them more money....HAHA... And the corruption....i dont even want to start on that.... SO Poverty will never ever stop to exist

In my own opinion, I think we can eradicate poverty if we really wanted to. What are our taxes for? For example here in my country, the problem is that almost of our officials are corrupt.

no . poverty cannot br eradicated. its a law of nature, where there is day there is night; for hapiness is sadness; for defeat is victory. simlarly we cannot eradicate poverty coz we cannot eradicate richie..

well i guess its like impossible to eradicate poverty.. it just cant happen.. seriously. it aint possible specially in asian countries...

No, unfortunately

I think it is possible to completely eradicate poverty, but it requires two things that I feel is impossible to ask of for the human race. One, for everybody (in the world) above the poverty line to just contribute $1 a month to eradicating poverty. Two, for upright organisations to ensure this aid money is distributed fairly and efficiently. But since humans are by nature selfish, I highly doubt that those two tasks can be accomplished.

i think we cannot eradicate poverty completely but we can reduce it to 50%

I dont think we can eradicate poverty coz most people living in slums tend to sell the property that the government is giving them and agin goes back to the slum.

I believe the only way poverty can ever end it if everyone gave 10% of their income. People look too much to their governments to solve problems like this when the truth is we as humans all have to stop being so selfish and think of others more. Isn't it easier to blame the governments and expect them to take care of the problem, rather than to give some of our money, food or time?

NO, it is not possible to completely eradicate poverty. But it can be controlled to a great extent if the rich people wish to really do so. i personally feel that rich people should do something to help the poor like creating jobs for them etc. we can help to control poverty in the future by sponsoring the children for their studies those who cannot afford so that they have a better tomorrow. i pray to god to help the poor people.

eradicate completely? no. A brief look at history will show that poverty has been a societal problem since time immemorial. Society has always been plaqued by the presence of the poor. Now that we have good social scientists the problem is still here and getting worse and worse. There are good ideas for a solution every now and then but there's just no enough political will to implement good approaches.

I think it is possible as there are so many poor people in the world and also they need so many things. Basic infrastructure shoukd be there also

I really don't think it has anything to do with population. Look at how many people in the U.S. are bsttling with obesity. We're overfed!!! We have a freaking surplus of food and we have tremendous medical technology and supplies. And so do a lot of other developed countries. Even homeless people in this country can find food and get a roof over their heads in a shelter, if they choose. I think it boils down to greed and fear.

I don't think you can ever eliminate it for the whole world. Even in countries that are poor but get a lot of aid money, corrupt governments often steal the money instead of giving it to the poor. Poor people can be living in areas that are very remote or are unsafe for aid workers to travel to. There are a lot of problems in solving poverty.

We can eradicate poverty if the first world countries tries to help those 3rd world countries to Aids and education.

We can never get rid of poverty because there are too many greety people in the world. Those that are very fortunate stay that way by keeping the poor in poverty. Poverty is one of those things that will never be eradicated.

I don't think we can eradicate poverty because there is really no incentive to do it. If there was, we would have done it in the USA already. We are the richest country in the world and we could find enough money in the couch cushions of US homes to save Africa, but we are too corrupt and selfish to do so. I think the capitalist system that I enjoy here in sunny Florida only works if we an uneven distribution of wealth and services.

No,we can't.
