*****OPPPRESSION BY POVERTY******

                                              OPPRESSION by POVERTY
     My groups focus is poverty.Poverty is defined as the state of condition of having little or no money, goods or means of support ; conditions of being poor; indigence!
              There are many oppressions in our lives that make us feel more miserable when someone is living into poverty. Is harmful to the people who live in poverty because there is lack of money in the life of this people, one example is when people make fun of the ones who live in poverty just because they don’t have money! And instead of giving they’re respect they discourage them and make them feel bad instead of being compassionate! Many internalizing ideas or words that I have heard over my topic poverty is that many “Latinos don’t have enough money and are muertos de ambres!” But this is not true because the majority of us the Latinos  are working very hard over come all the barriers that we confront each day to have a better future. This type of words can be a offence because it could harm many peoples feelings.
              Many people who are oppressed by this topic which is poverty. Are people like homeless, because many people discriminate against them, just by the way they look. This people  live in poverty because they don’t have money they don’t have a shelter where to live. And many people don’t give them jobs for their physical appearance. Because many people have internalized the idea of when giving them money they can spend it on drugs or alcohol. Contributing this idea about poverty is very harmful to many people specially the ones who actually believe it!
                The system of poverty is oppressive many people don’t is oppressive because many people don’t think of how hard the life of a person that is living into poverty is really like. Many people living into poverty would act differently because of the way that people have had internalized things about them that were true!!So this people might not want to tell the people around them or they might stop acting the way that they usually act and they might start acting differently. Many people who live in poverty don’t have the opportunity to go to college, or have an education. This is because they don’t have the money to afford for it. They don’t have the money for school supplies and also there are some school were you as a student have to buy  your own lunch.So instead of getting an education people have to work very hard to over come all the oppressive moments in their lives!!
                 Based on my topic about poverty, I have many connections related to poverty for example this day that I helped out some homeless people that where asking for money for some food so we bought them food!! Some personal experiences that I have based with poverty is that when my mother was very young, my grandfather died and what happened was that my mother couldn't get the education that she would of had wanted because she didn't have the money back then to afford for a school aand so she never attend to one! This relates to poverty because it puts many barriers into people lives and that they can’t achieve things in their future!
