Reflection #7

One man describes the line as a "Firing Line in which people face survival or death."  Another man describes it as a line that separates someone from being able to give help to needing help.    

Some stereotypes we have about poverty is that poor people are often stupid, uneducated, and lazy. But this isn't true as there are a lot of people living in poverty that are working harder than anyone, or people who went to college and got a degree but still ended up living in poverty. 

Outside influences and influencers include food pantries, soup kitchens, and homeless shelters. These influencers help people who are struggling by giving them groceries, a hot meal, or even somewhere to sleep. These types of things are very helpful to people who are trying to get back on their feet. 

Natural disasters are related to poverty because if a hurricane destroys your house, you are left with nothing and would become homeless, even if you were not struggling with money beforehand. 

I don't believe education is connected to poverty. There are plenty of people who didn't go to college who are doing fine, and there are also plenty of people who did go to college who are living in poverty.
