TRANSCRIPT
Article 1 All human beings are born free and equal in dignity
and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
This relates to poverty because, people who are impoverished are robbed of their dignity. They have nothing while we continue to flourish and buy things we want, when they cant buy the things they need.
That is not in the spirit of brotherhood
THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS
Article 5 No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel,
inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
For example living out of a car or box and having nothing to your name is very degrading. Especially because you cant not help that fact that you are poor.
When you are poor torture can be simple as simple as paying the same taxes as people who are in middle class.
THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS
Article 21 (1) Everyone has the right to take part in the government
of his country, directly or through freely chosen representatives.
(2) Everyone has the right of equal access to public service in his country.
(3) The will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of government; this will shall be expressed in periodic and genuine elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret vote or by equivalent free voting procedures. People who are poverty do not have the time or money to
vote because they have no means of transportation. There are other things occupying there time like balancing the jobs they have or getting a job they need. They feel cheated by the system.

Robert Fairbanks is a professor at the University of Philadelphia.
He tells us about how 60,000 row homes were abandon and 30,000 were converted for addicts and alcoholics.
This was in the slums of Kensington Philadelphia.
He tells us from a secondary point of view.
My findings were that poverty could slowly be helped if we have more cities like Philadelphia.

Lisa Levenstein is a professor at the University of North Carolina.
She has been involved with poverty and women’s health since 1994
These women say they are no different from any of us they have the same wants and needs. It takes a lot for these people to survive poverty.
She has a secondary view point.I think that discrimination against
your gender and race is wrong especially in the point of poverty.

2012 at the University of Pennsylvania. It is tough on these kids coming out of
college and not knowing if one day they will end up in poverty with nothing.
It was a secondary source.
