Poverty

We’re so rich that we forget about our poor people; people don’t realize how poor some people are. People in the country are often focused on the unemployment numbers as a way of showing how the market is doing in today’s economy. However, these numbers are more important. These show how the US is handling its citizens. As more and more people fall below the poverty line, the US is having a hard time taking care of its citizens. This can be a sign that the US is not reaching its full potential with its interaction with citizens.

Poverty proves if a society is interacting and working together. Since these are the most important parts of society, it can be only fitting that the poverty line shows is people are indeed working together as a community. The most important thing we should bear in mind in this social arrangement is that the society on a whole must interact and know each other’s problems, and not view these problems as simple numbers telling how this weeks Dow Jones Industrial Average is going to do.
