Human poverty is multidimensional in that it severely constrains human choices and results in vulnerability and a perpetuation of inequalities. These inequalities manifest themselves between women and men, rural and urban, developed and underdeveloped regions, and different ethnic groups. Also the unequal incomes around the world can contribute to this poverty. With the high prices and the low income the rich are still getting rich of the poor. There are people these days being paid more for the position they hold than someone else with more experience. Seldom are there inequalities isola

Finally I think some of the rich are indeed still getting richer off the poor but there are some poor that have wizened up in many ways by trying to stop this poverty due to the inequality of incomes. A lot more people are going back to school to get better educations so that they can make more money and some are even trying to start businesses to become one of the rich that can help others rather than hurt them by making they labor pennies rather than their true worth.

· Twice as likely to support cuts in food stamps spending; · twice as likely to believe that "self-help" is the solution for black progress; · and four times as likely to believe that "reverse discrimination" against whites is more serious than discrimination against minorities.

We should all try and end poverty, as no one deserves that type of lifestyle. We need to diminish racism, and other economic problems that add to poverty.

The evidence of serious discrimination throughout the society is compelling. A 55-year-old insurance salesman in Milwaukee, for example, secretly tape-recorded instructions from his boss to "stop selling blacks insurance." In California, Insurance Commissioner John Garamendi uncovered internal company documents proving that the California Insurance Group instructed its agents not to insure African American, Latino, and gay neighborhoods. These restrictions on acquiring insurance have a ripple effect throughout society. As a special commission appointed by President Lyndon Johnson concluded: Without insurance, businesses are left to deteriorate; services, goods, and jobs diminish. Efforts to rebuild our nation's inner cities cannot move forward. Communities without insurance are communities without hope. Research studies have clearly demonstrated that African Americans receive inferior health care due to racism. Sara Rosenbaum, director of the Center for Health Policy Research at George Washington University reported: When you take black and white Americans and exactly the same situation like being hospitalized for a heart attack and having the same insurance, the chance that the black patient will get the advanced care is much less that it is for the white patient. The medical system appears to treat them differently. African American men continue to be paid much less than white men, even when they have comparable education and are employed in similar jobs, according to a Census Bureau report released in 1993. Among college-educated men employed in executive, administrative and managerial jobs, median earnings for African American during 1991 were 77 percent of the figure for whites. The difference for workers with only a high-school diploma was even greater. Racism is also reflected in the "white flight" that usually happens when a substantial number of African Americans move into a predominantly white neighborhood. "Whites just do not want blacks as neighbors," reports Andrew Hacker in his review of the book American Apartheid. "Nor is this a reflection of class. Whites are just as apt to pull out when middle-class blacks begin to enter a neighborhood." As a result, the nation's housing is no less segregated now than a decade ago. Many cities, especially in the North, are more segregated. In fact, schools in the South are now more likely to be integrated than are schools outside the South. Undercover investigations have documented that African Americans are illegally turned down about half of the time when they seek to buy or rent housing. Although African Americans are more likely to be subjected to more severe forms of racism, as is reflected in part by the fact that housing segregation is worse among African Americans, other people of color also suffer serious discrimination. A 1992 report issued by the Federal Civil Rights Commission, as summarized by The New York Times, for example, found that Asian Americans "face widespread discrimination in the work
