Why can divorce cause poverty?
- Divorce can cause poverty for either spouse depending on what the courts have decided upon. Example: If the court has given the home; any property or all of a business or perhaps if children are involved they have full custody of those children then this can leave the other spouse in a state of poverty if they have not worked and they do not have a job. If a spouse goes bankrupt then it dissolves all monies; property; equipment, etc., and the other spouse is left without anything. If a woman or a man leaves and they are residing in a rental property not owned by them this too can cause poverty. If a woman or a man deserts their family and has moved to another town or out of the country and cannot be found this too causes poverty if they did not own a home. There is also a Statute of Limitations for the length of time when one of the spouses deserts the other and a lot of red tape if there is a home; property or monies.

While aspects of poverty in the United States have changed significantly since colonial times, debates about how best to alleviate this condition continue to revolve around issues of morality as well as economics. In eighteenth-and early-nineteenth-century America, most people worked throughout their lives at a succession of unstable jobs, under unhealthy conditions. Widows, immigrants, the ill, and the elderly generally had few sources of support outside their own poor families. Town-ships and counties resorted to such drastic solutions as auctioning off poor local residents to local farmers. Indigent nonresidents would simply be sent out of town. The primary form of public assistance, known as "out-door relief," consisted of food, fuel, or small amounts of money. Poorhouses were founded to serve the indigent more cheaply than outdoor relief while discouraging them from applying for further public assistance. Especially in the North, poorhouses attempted to improve their residents' personal habits. Supervised work, such as farming, weaving, and furniture building, was required; alcohol was forbidden.
Poorhouses became notorious for overcrowding, filth, disease, and corrupt management. Reformers also increasingly criticized outdoor relief for demoralizing the poor and attracting idlers and drunks. By the Civil War (1861-1865), private relief associations run by evangelical Protestants, immigrant groups, and upper-class women's groups had begun to assume a more bureaucratic form. The Charity Organization Society, founded in Buffalo, New York, in 1877 (chapters were established in most U.S. cities by 1892) attempted to systematize relief by sending volunteers to investigate the circumstances of each applicant and advise them on how to live a respectable life. Handouts were to be given only in cases of extreme need. This approach, known as "scientific charity," proved impractical. Yet elements of its method evolved into the caseworker system of social welfare agencies.

Why are so many children living in poverty?
Poverty, as a general rule in culture produces individuals who lack education, self-control and self-discipline. People in poverty, who start to exemplify education and self-discipline, usually exit poverty by default. Poor people usually keep having more children because they lack the virtue of sexual self control and/or common sense/money to use birth control. Plus unprotected sex is free until pregnancy occurs.
If you have no money, you can just grab the gal sitting on the couch and have a good time without spending money. They only care after it is too late.
When your priority is sex, you will have more children.
When your priority is study and work, you will have less children.
Nature gives us sexual pleasure to make us want to reproduce. Whoever acts according to sexual appetite is most likely to continue the human race. Nature tends to select for sexual urges so the species can last for millions of years.
In human society person who controls sexual desire, study, and work hard will be rich and person who does more sex, less study, and less work will be poor.
Thus poor people have more children.
Opinion:
People should not have children they cannot afford to raise. I've seen illegal immigrants with up to 12 children all paid for by the taxpayers and I don't believe its sustainable. The state I live in is sinking (e.g. California) under this sort of nonsense and nobody's really doing anything to stop it except raising taxes on a people with the highest taxes in the nation and a modern liberal public indoctrination system that's now 3rd from the bottom (years ago it was number one in the nation). It makes me sick. We can still implement welfare if we require the painless procedure of sterilization to both male and female as part of the application process. It's only fair in my opinion. Poor people shouldn't be having kids they can't afford to raise in my opinion. By the way, I'm poor and would subject myself to that requirement if I decided to accept welfare.

What are the pros and cons of poverty?
Chasing the ice cream man! (He does not come to rich neighborhoods.)
Creativity. Poor kids learn to turn a piece of paper or ball of tinfoil into hours of fun! When they cannot afford a new toy...
Appreciating the value of something.. Rich kids have ipods cellphones, etc and complain that so and so has a better one, poor kids are greatful to get a happy meal or a toy from the dollar store.
true friendships. Kids don't "use them" for their swimming pool or xbox, etc. if someone wants to come to their tiny crappy house is because they really truly like them
Having homeless people on your corner to see how fortunate you really are...and to give to them and know what that means...rich kids rarely get that opportunity.
These answers are from my seven year old son who recently moved with me (his young single mom) from a VERY poor neighborhood to a very rich one. Hope this helps! :)
