Global Poverty

Purpose

Global Poverty emerges as a proposal to fight against poverty. For our team, discussing about poverty means doing something in order to reduce it as much as possible. Whenever we think about all the suffering people in extreme poverty conditions faces every day, we only want to raise our voices and speak for those who cannot. Global Poverty is born with a mission. A mission of summing as much people as possible to our cause and eradicate the poverty conditions in which much families live.

At first, we started a deep investigation to understand the truthful meaning of poverty and comprehend the social impact it has on those who don’t live in those conditions. As a society, we need to function completely, and every single individual involved is crucial. We all study Communications, so, we decided to create this website as an evidence format to start our campaign anti-poverty. Our main hypothesis relies on: If we can use the new technologies to help other people, then we need a real cause, and, if poverty is affecting our actual society and it is becoming even more popular every day, then our mission is clear: Reduce Poverty.

Capitalism and other doctrines we are following, is letting us apart from the social contribution in order to social wellness. Then is when our ideas became bigger. As we are living in a globalized world, we need to become global citizens and send our message on the most massive way possible: On the Internet.

Therefore, Global Poverty is a project related to the fighting of poverty and conceptualizing it as a matter of education to all our readers. To let them know how powerful they can be in order to restore the society´s condition and be humanized by our words. The world needs you know for you to take care of it, but also people around you who is vulnerable needs you in order to save their lives.

About us

We are a team stablished in 2019 for the class of ITCK from UDLAP with a concern about poverty.

Our main goal is to analyze the current situations that enables poverty to keep growing on our society. For us, is important to comprehend the impact of poverty due to we are following the ideal of the reduction of it.

Why is it necessary to study?

Because it shows a broken part of our society and sets and alarm to global citizens to help and do something valuable
Due to human rights evocate the poverty-free living, helps to understand why some of our own problems happen, etc.

We hope that our words inspire every one of you to make a change and start summing the proverty-free campaign and ideologies. It is a hard task, and baby-steps are the only way possible to start doing something.

Meet our team:

Paloma Castro: “What inspired me to be part of this project is the humanity that reflects the whole team and the reason that poverty not only affects them, but affects the society itself. Poverty is one of the most feared situations for anyone and my purpose is to help as much as I can to try reduce poverty levels (only if its only near me).”

Patricio Lira: “I decided I wanted a change. It is not easy for me to wake up everyday knowing there is still people suffering and children dying of hunger. Poverty means to me one of the greatest threat for humanity and human rights. Maybe I can help many, maybe not. Letting the world know my purpose is the greatest satisfaction of them all.”

Emmanuel Molina: “When I think of poverty, I think of suffering. When I think of waht can I do to help, I think of raising my voice. What´s most important to me is getting to know what causes undevelopment and what consequences are presented in within. Then, as a global citizen, I can figure out strategies to fight it and, hopefully, get as much people as possible to sum our cause.”

Hilda Díaz: “For me my main motivation is my country. The consequences poverty has on my local society are outrageous. I want to tell the world to focus on poverty issues to make a realiable change, that, will benefit us all. “

What goes first…

In order to fully understand the background of the poverty concept, we have developed two conceptual maps with branches of the topic we considered are the most important ones when referring to a Poverty discussion. Figure 1. is titled Conceptual Map part A and it explains the No Poverty philosophy proposed by ONU, the definition of Poverty by UNESCO, The world´s poorest countries by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the consequences of poverty proposed by The Borgen Project, etc.

On Figure 2. (titled Conceptual Map part B) the branches of Poverty that are discussed are: Laws that enhance no poverty regulations by Canada Without Poverty, the 7th most influential people fighting against poverty by GlobalCitizen.org, The most important researches about digital divide due to poverty or how art can help the fight against poverty.

“Carina Mood is a professor at SOFI. Her research interests include poverty, inequality, intergenerational transmission of advantage, and the welfare and well-being of children and youth, and she is part of the Level-of-living team at SOFI. She currently heads the FORTE-funded research program Interlocking inequalities: A multidimensional perspective on inequality in contemporary Sweden, and theFORTE-funded research project Economic resources and social relations among children and youth. She is also affiliated to the Institute for Futures Studies where she coordinates the FORTE-funded research program YOUNG, and heads the related project YOUNGWORK about early labour market outcomes. She is also active in the international CILS4EU project.” (Stockholm University, s.f)

On the other hand Jan O. Jonsson:

“My main research area is social stratification – including studies of educational inequality, the class structure, and social mobility. My interest in intergenerational processes also incorporates the study of children’s well-being.

I am also engaged in studies of ethnic stratification. I am the PI for Sweden in a comparative project on the integration of ethnic minority school children (CILS4EU), led by Frank Kalter, Universität Mannheim.

As responsible for the Swedish Level-of-Living Survey (LNU) (Level-of-Living (LNU)), I have an interest in research in the level and distribution of welfare.” (Jonsson, s.f)
