“Poverty is the worst form of violence.” Mahatma Gandhi
Don’t ask: “Why does God allow this to happen?”Pray: “God… give me the wisdom and strength
to do what I must to stop this from happening?”
Most of the problems related to poverty today lies in the fact that many civilized people are willing to live in comfort even if the price of this is poverty, ignorance, and disease of many people around the world.
Poverty is the single biggest killer in the world today, and it is bizarre and insane to say that it is the most preventable. -Minnie Driver, actress

It is easy enough to tell the poor to accept their poverty as God’s will when you yourself have warm clothes and plenty of food and medical care and a roof over your head and no worry about the rent. But if you want them to believe you—try to share some of their poverty and see if you can accept it as God’s will yourself! -Thomas Merton, Seeds of Contemplation

1. To me poverty could mean a lot of things, but the biggest one lies in the character of people. Specially those who we chose to lead our countries,those who are soupose look for their people and in charge to prevent this things to happen. But WE are responsible to, we get comfortable with our life styles and fotget that out there not to far, sometimes even our neighbors have needs. Sometimes the problem does not live that far, if we take a close look there are so many things we could do for others in need.
2. I believe Ghandi was so right, it is the fact that we sit back and watch and don't do ANYTHING to help or even avoid this things to happen. "We don't feel it's our problem" so we don't have to get involved and act. We are silent killers.
3. I belive that we could start by getting interested in our own community. There are so much people in need, and like I said before they are right in our "backyards". Sometimes we are so selfish, we complain about not having a new pair of shoes,when we probably have a lot of them just sitting in the closet and there are people who can't get something as basic as a cup of water. The sad thing is that as long as it's only small groups of people doing something, and goverments are bussy making any excuse to go to wars and make their nations richer and caring about things that at the end are not relevant, there is not a lot that can be done......

1) What is poverty for you?
Is living in a unhealty environment and a every day struggle trying sustaining the cost of living meanwhile not having the funds to sustain your family.is living in a poor environment.
2)Gandhi: "Poverty is the worst form of violence." What do you think he meant? Explain your answer in detail.
I think he meant by is like there so many options but is is hard to find them, beacuse people don't really care for other people these time in life. they prefer help and animal then an other human and having to struggle by seeing your children sufer is the worst violence that you can't live with watching them die of hunger.
3) How can you contribute to stop violence?
BY helping the foundations that help the people that suffer from these kind of violence with some money,food or even house supplies can be use to contribute.

1-Relative poverty occurs when people do not enjoy a certain minimum level of living standards as determined by a government (and enjoyed by the bulk of the population) that vary from country to country, sometimes within the same country. Relative poverty occurs everywhere, is said to be increasing, and may never be eradicated.
2- I think is so true, because we're the responsible of our acts and we need recaps and don't be selfish with the other people because we need our help.
3- I contribute to stop the violence acting like a responsible person and I care about other people. Sometimes I feel bad because the values in the world already been lost and people do not values the live of other.
1.Poverty to me is people who do not have food,clothes,is not the same speeds as other people.
2.It is often a person being poor,is deprived of having health,education and decent work.
3.Educado help us control our peoples to control violence.

1.Poverty is a fact that there allot of people which do not have enough money able to sustain them and much less there family. they suffer not having to give the a morsel of food, and that no one helps them they die of hunger.
2.I think the fact which he refers to say that poverty is the worst form of violence, it can mean many things which is are happening now,there are people who has plenty of money they do not pass needs see others suffer by having they not whom to give a hand and provide them with what they need.
3.We all need to support people with more need and more viewing the conflict which can be found, the violence is a factor unpleasant that it can exist, i would help people by giving them food cloth shoes and provide a ceiling where they can be safe and feel home, if we see any act of violence we most denounce it. Violence is not a good thing through that people innocent suffer, so if at some moment or point we passed this we most have the strength to denounce and get out of those abuses.
1.What is poverty for you?
Poverty is a situation or way of life that arises as or lack of resources to meet basic human physical and wear affecting the level and quality of life of individuals, such as food, housing, education, health care or access to clean water.
2.Gandhi: poverty is the worst form of violence. What do you think he meant?
I think Ghandi mean that we should help those people who need it so they are part of our family and we should value them as only we look around and we only complain about what happens to us so having more of what we deserve.
3.How can you contribute to stop violence?
We need to come together in community and to help those most in need, we can grow food and so have their own food. I think we should offer help and bring out some hospitals developed for the needs of people and improve education and in the development of handicrafts and building materials. We cannot close our eyes to the world problems we must perform and eliminate problems, not create more and look forward to those most in need.

1. It is a sutuation that ocurs as a result of the lack of basic needs such as water, food, clothes, medical assistance ect..
2. I think is the worst form of violence because it is the number one cause of deaths in the worl due to lack of medical resourses food and other basic needs.
3. Doing everything in my power to provide assistance to people in need.
CARMEN ROMAN PEREZ
1. Poverty s the result of the abuse of money of the government, and is the result of people with nothing trying to have it by force it means to kill some people to have it.
2. it means what people do have at least some things on like warm food, warm night, good health and money. The poor people tend to use any means necessary to obtain what the people with everything has even if they had to kill for it. Or is so many cases ho sell the body or daughters or sons for sexual exchange.
3. The first thing at would use is all of the money the governments use on wasted projects and use it to for projects to give house for the poor, food and medical treatment. Created a jobs for the poor so that they could have a source base of income. Created schools for the parents and children of the poor so that they have a good moral base.
Bradley J. Vega
1. Poverty to me is when you don’t have money to buy food or to pay rent to stay in a safe place.
To me poverty is not having people that you care about and care about you in good or bad times.
Poverty is knowing you don’t have the money to buy food and know that at any moment you can die.
2. I agree with him because the government is wasting money to hurt other countries but in the process hurt the town’s people worse.
The government is wasting money in lethal weapons while the town’s people die of starvation.
Sometimes the government does not think about their people and worry more about war.
3. I can contribute donating food, water and clothes. Also I can donate my time finding more people to help the same cause. I can orientate all kind of people that not all in life is money, food, fancy clothes and a good life.
Rodny
For me poverty is not having food. Not having to live. Neither have what it takes in life.
People who have money should give others what they have. Physicians should offer better support. The community should offer assistance to help them.
Violence we can stop a little if any better punishment for that violence. Better surveillance of the police. Less corruption.
1) What is poverty for you?
- Poverty to me is; the lack of resources, opportunities and misery by the people passing whom life has played a bad move. Joblessness, conformity, the lack of goals and resources to go forward, keep submerged in poverty these people. The government and its mismanagement, also to blame for poverty in the countries.
2). Gandhi: "Poverty is the worst form of violence." What do you think he meant? Explain your answer in detail.
- Poverty is the worst form of violence, because there is no worse way to maltreating a human except is hungry, needs, homeless, without clothes, without food or hygienic.
3). How can you contribute to stop violence?
- Promoting the values, morals and good behavior, helping society to heal wounds and to deference that divide us. Teaching our children how important it is to always carry our values and the importance of family, so that in this way is lift a generation free of prejudice, violence and abuse.

1)For me proverty means the condition of having little things in life or nothing at all. It means people that does not have does basic needs that human need, no food, water or clothe.
2)I think he meant by saying it is the worst form of violance that proverty is one of the biggest death problems in the world, i think that people are very unsensitive, even knowing that there are a lot of persons who could help this people, they prefer to use there money in other things than donating food or money for this children who are in need.
3)I can contribute to help this violance by donating to different foundations, food, medicine, clothe.
NATTASHA Y. PEREZ
1. For me poverty is a horrible thing that is happening all around the world. Children with nothing to eat or wear, fight to survive each day. They dont even have the opportunity to get an education.
2. Gandhis is trying to tell us that people living in poverty suffer and strugle, and these things can take them to commit violence.
3.We can put young people to do community services. We also need to involve kids and grownups in any kind of sport.
1. Poverty is a lifestyle inability or lack of resources is also satisfied. Considered to hungry people without a place to live and so on. Can also result from exclusion setr social and marginalization.
2. Poverty forces humans to be violent. Poverty is also a type of abuse to society.
3. We can help by educating ourselves, helping each other. As citizens we have an obligation to improve our lifestyle and that of other entities benefices helping either. Jonathan Perez Medina
Jennifer Barreto Barreto
1) For me, poverty is not having food, water and nowhere to live.
2) Gandhi said "'Poverty is the worst form of violence'', he meant that poverty in many children die is like committing abuse to them as children depend on adults to live.
3) Help stop violence by educating the population to teach him not to mistreat and provide love and affection.
Bryan M. Talavera Cruz
1-For me poverty is one of the most saddest things that could any person could be pass trough this life. And we know that any person can do anything for change this and they are so few people that wanted to do something for bring help and hope for the people who need us
2-I can understand that he said it in reference that the government and rich people can do something about it and they don't do anything for help the poor people. And for that reason is a crime because they let the people die.
3-We as a responsable and educated people must do a lot of things to change the society minds first of all it's in the education that we must bring to our children in the schools if we don't focus in the principals that we teach we are going to see this crimes every day the rest of our lives.
1) Poverty is a cruel thing should not exist because the world is made for enjoyment and supplies all that is needed is that of poverty due to the same man.
2) I think gandhi has much reason because if you can not offer a good future a person should take care and avoid to, to if not cause that kind of abuse.
3) Educating people to be more rational and aware of situations today still living and creating foundations to help those people.

1. Poverty to me is the lack of basic needs. The absence of key resources. Not having home.
2. Less poverty would exist if people with a little money to help these citizens with better quality of life. I understand that there must be more humanity in our world. So then these people would suffer no disease.
3. We need a better government and better capacity for up to enforce our laws. Should be best punishment for causing violence. I think jail is not a good punishment for these people since they are in a good comfort.
STEPHANIE PEREZ
1. Poverty to me is lack of food. Being homeless. Do not have what it takes in life.
2. Due to lack of food and medical need many diseases which come alive in any arise. If the rich give something to the poor would not exist so much poverty also believe that doctors should not them to charge those who do not have money.
3. They can form better laws and are fulfilled as the pose. Taking all citizens respect each other. We can also create community groups to advise all and thus avoid violence.
Pablo Estrella
1. Poverty is the lack or absence of something. We can see poverty in tangible or intangible things. Many people have come and many are not content with what they have because they are poor in spirit and the same greed blinds them from what really matters. The podreza should not be measured in money or quantity of things but how we handle it and only share quebtenemos.
2. The podreza is the worst form of violence since the ruling classes and economic power abuse and somente al.podre. This resource lei me a post several days ago saying "black boy mira.un sick and hungry. Meal We do not do a documentary" signed National Geographic. Many media la.informacion but they give us a solution. The government abuses and allow you to get ahead because they have to protect their interests and maintain a large cuidadano control.
3.The violence may decrease ending world hunger. educating human beings to be able to produce. They know their rights to defend them and do not allow more injustice committed. A more educated world is a world as less crime and injustice.

Wandali Quiñones Hernández 5/ 8/ 2014
1. What is poverty for you?
Poverty exists in different ways, but the best known is the economic. Many people in different parts of the world are literally dying because they don’t have what to eat, but sometimes we don’t have what to dress and we think we’re poor. We have to stop and look at ourselves, we have clothes, maybe we don’t know what to wear that day, but we have it. Also we have a place to sleep, to eat; we have a lot of things. You are poor if you don’t have any of these things.
2. Gandhi: “Poverty is the worst form of violence. “What do you think he meant? Explain your answer in details.
Behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something, this is the definition of violence by the oxford dictionary. Definitely Gandhi means that poverty hurts, damage, and kills people. I agree with him because we focus in our problems and sometimes we don’t have time to help our fellow from that violence.
3. How can you contribute to stop violence?
I can help talking with people about this kind of violence, so I can help and other people to. Also I can give money, food or even my time to the foundations that help people that suffer this situation.
1. To me Poverty is the lack of empathy, love and desire to serve others, no matter whom. Whether their worthy or not. We are all human beings.
2. To me what Gandhi meant is that poverty leads us to crime, disorder and violence itself. We can all put an end to it, if we choose to contribute, if not we are just part of the cause.
3. I can contribute in many ways, from donating food, appliances or becoming a member of an Association or entity that helps this cause. But most important of all I can contribute by being an example. Everything starts in our environment, surroundings, home, community, town and country. If I can teach and set values to my people. I can be source of love, empathy, humility, compromise. Just like this, I can create a change and be the change I want to see in this world.

1. Poverty is a state in which nobody wants to be . It is a plague that should not exist. It is a bad world , and it is hard to think that there is so much poverty in the 21st century with so much technology out there for today.
2. It is a very true thought, for today there are countries with large populations who are in extreme poverty and people die every day and we often voted the food. They have food that is so fundamental not have a roof or no clean water for daily consumption, or medication because there is no money . I totally agree with this thought, the violence seen from this point of view is rather cruel .
3. First thing try birth control worldwide. Seek aid governments and various private agencies through counseling, educating everyone about the effects of violence. Through television , radio and social networks would make a global call to stop the violence.
Rosemarie Jimenez
1) What is poverty for you?
Poverty for me is unfair because we complain about us not having enough and wanting more. When in real life we have more than we can’t ever have. And we still are naïve enough to think we deserve more than anyone. Poverty is unfair to most people that live like that, and they deserve to be awarded for fighting to keep themselves and everyone around them safe.
2) Gandhi: "Poverty is the worst form of violence." What do you think he meant? Explain your answer in detail.
I think that he meant that so many people live in comfort without a care in the world. And don’t realize that there people in this world that are dying of hunger and disease. He also is referring to that we have everything easy and they have to fight day and night to survive in a cruel world like this. He is making a point in general because a lot of people are greedy and want everything and sometimes a little more and we don’t make s a stop and realize that we can help to fight against this unfair life people now day live. It’s sad to see us l act like there is nothing going around us but in real life everything is a problem but since we are happy and comfortable we just don’t care!
3) How can you contribute to stop violence?
We can start by getting our lazy butts out of our couch and stop complaining about what we have or not. Start looking around us and find people that needs help, we could integrate our community and help others in need. It’s not fair that you say” there’s other people helping”, when the real thing is that a very low amount of people are the only ones that worry about the people around them. So get you head out of your hat and start putting yourself in other people’s shoes. And I’m not saying that the Government are the ones responsible. Like Kennedy once said “Stop asking what the country can do for you and start asking what I can do for my country”. Not only my country but for the whole world.

Leslie M. Pena Vera
David J. Muñiz Morales
1) What is poverty for you?
The meaning of poverty to me is one of the more specific points in my life, because it is the daily life of many. When we talk about specific countries that have this type of problem the only thing that comes to mind is the lack of a home, food and so most things not around. Basically poverty is the meaning of having minimal or even nothing.
2)Gandhi: "Poverty is the worst form of violence." What do you think he meant? Explain your answer in detail.
My opinion about your comment is that many people around you may be able by their wealth to help people with little or no resource of life. Few who take an initiative to help these poor people and countries around the world. Poor and low-income people are hungry and needs are in the future may die.
3) How can you contribute to stop violence?
We can help take initiatives, be more fair to our neighbors and especially have raised awareness of what people are going through.
1) What is poverty for you?
Poverty is having nothing. Be it physically or mentally. Having no money, possessions, family, or friends.
2) Gandhi: "Poverty is the worst form of violence." What do you think he meant? Explain your answer in detail.
The poor have nothing and they want something. Some steal, mug, and kill for a chance to have something no matter how little that something is.
3) How can you contribute to stop violence?
Give the poor what they need. Give them food and/or shelter.

Katiana Concepción Bonet
1) What is poverty for you?
In my opinion poverty to me is when people are low, minimal or no recourse. Every day we read news about poverty in many countries. Poverty in many cases when you have a roof to live, and food that might even lead to death.
2)Gandhi: "Poverty is the worst form of violence." What do you think he meant? Explain your answer in detail.
About your comments my opinion is that when you are poor and do not have the resources to keep gradually you can consume up to death.
3) How can you contribute to stop violence?
We can help our fellow man always helping. Always keeping in mind what other people may be going, giving hand and helping him entodo as much as possible. Very few people who are high these resources and take the initiative to help and go the extra mile for our neighbor.
What is poverty for you?
Poverty to me is a problem that is present in a big percent of the humanity. It is mainly seen in countries where the necessity is present in a big way and practicaly countries that have low incomes and not everyone has the necessary resources to live well in this world like for example the lack of homes, food, money. The worst part of poverty to me is the huge amount of children that die each day due to this and the lack of sensitivity that us humans have.
Gandhi: " Poverty is the worst form of violence." What do you think he meant? Explain in detail:
I agree with Gandhi. Poverty is a violence in a way that us humans just sit and be a part of the problems the world is facing without doing nothing about it. It is a violence because many organizations or even the government could help stop a simple amount of this cruelty and no one even has the sensibility to get people some food. We just sit and complain about what we have and we dont have without looking to the side and to other problems that humanity have. Poverty is the cause of most problems this days, such as stealing, drug dealing, etc; due to this the world in a way is full of violence.
How can you contribute to stop violence?
Doing conferences about poverty and violence, and how can we deal with this. Searching for organizations that can donate money to this people or even creating an organization that all the funds collected can be used to at least help a percentage of this problem. Searching for union and peace through help ( helping each other). Provide food, clothes, homes to these people.

1) Poverty for me is the lack of food, money and material belongings.Is the base of economy of diference places. Necesity due to the lack of commitment in part of the so called goverment or law based dictorships.
2) Ghandi says that "Poverty" is the worst form of violance, and I consider that he meant to say such needs bring the worst in people. In my perspective it shows the levels of innecesary burocracy and power deprived of those in need "rich are rich", poor are the back bone of the rich.
3) We can stop violance by giving power to the right people. We can contribute to this issue by bringing food to the need and share our used attires to be shipped to other countries and such.

1. Poverty are people without resources for sustenance and development of life. In my opinion
poverty depends heavily on the social state in wish humans live.
2. According to the author Poverty is the worst form of violence because it can be avoided if were n't for some people who want to live a very comfortable life of luxury no matter seeing other humans mostly lack resources.
3. In my opinion I can help to put a stop to the violence making workshops to carry the message to other people how hard it is to see other people suffer from lack of resources and abuse of others.
1) What is poverty for you?
For me the poverty is the lack of resources in people. Also, poverty can be the lack of happiness for people although they can have the material resources to live. Poverty is a social problem that in the long way can affect us all.
2) Gandhi: "Poverty is the worst form of violence." What do you think he meant? Explain your answer in detail.
Gandhi says that the poverty is the worst form of violence because there are a lot of people that suffers the consequences of this problem at the same time. Poverty is responsible of the majority of death in children in the world. Poverty is a problem that affects various countries at the same time.
3) How can you contribute to stop violence?
I can contribute to prevent this social problem by sharing my resources with the necessities ones. Also I can contribute by teaching how this problem affect us and what I can do to prevent being part of this. Because poverty is a social problem that affects us all in the world, we can contribute by making conscience in entities to make this a priority to solve as one of the biggest problem in the world.
yesenia pena illas 1)poverty for me is not having moneyto pay for my food,medicines,clothes ect,but y think that having poverty in your soul it's worse.2)for me it means that if you don't have the money to pay for your basic needs you can die or get to the point of kill someone for food.3)firsts y will stop using and encouraging violence.I will help people victims of violence and if y now of someone victim of violence y will talk to the pertinent agencies to help them because everybody is scared of doing something,and if we take part we can save lives.
1) Poverty means more than what we think. It's a way of life that no body deserve. That's why we are responsible for this social problem that if everyone put the hands on we can make a difference.
2) I think that Gandhi want to express the way of living in many different scenarios. Some people see this kind of life styles and they don't empathy there shelf living in that case. Especially if they came from a social group of high class level.
3) If we can came all with the same thought and ideas from the inside filling and not from what most people think. We can contribute and support this kind of causes from the deep of our hearts in some many ways. Like association or foundation of people that are in the same page of solving the problem.
1] Poverty is everything that the individual lacks. It may be money, welfare love, faith or food. Poverty can be because by the society where we live, depression or simply fill our needs or expectations.
2] Refers to all persons who are deprived of essential resources as a result of the society, ideology or policy. Poverty is very violent because it has physical, mental effects and these are very painful.

Victor Hernandez
1:Poverty is a standard created by society that divided the human race by level or class based on their wealth .Those who are in poverty are those who do not have the economical means of providing for their basic needs such as food and shelter .Someone who is extremely poor.
2. When we say poverty is the worst kind of violence in my opinion this means that violence does not only mean physical contact but also negligence and indifference are types of violence this is so true, the world we live in today is a world filled with people who are too busy to stop and help the needed, we are so consumed in our lives that we don’t take the time to look up and see how many people are in need. In many occasions people like Actors, Athletes, and People of the Upper class give not out of kindness but out of guilty and tax reductions it is a way to make themselves feel better of having the thing they have, but no matter what their motivation may be at least the poor are being helped. The day people not only give money but also our time and compassion to help the poor not out of guilt but out of love will be the day the world becomes a better place.
3. A way of stopping violence is becoming part of the solution not the problem by donating to those in need not only our money but also our time. We must be compassionate with others giving them hope and faith that thing can change for the better. We must help and give not out of guilt but out of love.
JOSE M FIGUEROA ANDUJAR;
RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS;
1)Poverty must be evaluated at two points of view. Material poverty and spiritual poverty. The poverty is related to not having food, shelter, clothing, and the essentials for survival. Very sorry to think of other people without food and sometime we wasted. Poverty is a state that we live when that is in charge of a town or home does nothing to survive and acquire the necessary.
2)The great fighter for the right stated this when to passive protests against the capitalist government. Makers of the people and the government did not bring benefit to the population. The explored for their own benefit. Not to help a people to stand up and meet your needs is a way of torturing and doing violence against.
3)Stop thinking leaders for their own benefit. Created jobs, keep busy youth with education programs. Bring companies to contribute to the economy. Promote peace and democracy by example as civilized citizens. Not discriminate by race, color or religion.
1. What is proverty for you?
Proverty is injustice to me, is like a punishment. We are all sons of God and we are created in his image and likeness..Should not exist is like a punishment for those who least deserve it because of the rulers and their abuse of power and not think only of enrich themselves and more and their own benefits.

Exist severals types of violence, passive and physical. But Gandhi as the worst of all is proverty. The
is the most injust an the must painful.

I just, as an individual can not stop the violence.but I think that if all humans couldn't join with a clear understanding of who we really are, defending our rights and those who are defend less. Risking anything for justice and equality. But we don't have the resources to do so.It is unfortunate, but what I could contribute is recommending to the government to be more responsible.
1- Poverty is not having food to eat, a shelter to live and peace in our neighborhood. Poverty can be accompany with misery, an extreme form of poverty were you do not have anything, even clothes to wear. Poverty is the reality of the world today.
2- When it has begun, it is very difficult to stop it. Generations can be wipeout from the face of the Earth. Maybe it needs to pass decades to restore the order and change the mind of those who survived.
3- I can change my consumerism habits and in the long run this can alter the path of the human race. I can contribute to stop violence by reinforcing the good values to my kids. I can form a team in my community to share our values. I can share love and pay it forward to others.

Poverty: Disease of form of Violence
1) I think that poverty is when your needs and necessities couldn't be satisfied. Also, we can think that poverty is the absence of resources. There are many ways of poverty, for example: money, food, place to live or love. You can be poor if does not have the above things write and the way of fill it is complicated or even impossible.
2) Ghandi says that poverty when reaches levels of violence is when as human beings we tries to found the way of fill the absences necessities. When you need money, food or a place to live you try to find the way of having it, no matter if you have to stole it from another one. Sometimes we are selfish and only worries about our needs. We use violence as the way of reach our needs. We use violence as the way of reach our needs levels, which never can be satisfied or ended to satisfied.
3) I think the best way is be concious of sharing. We have the necessary things to live and we can share with the people that have less. Poverty is all around the world and maybe we can beat this for all. There's such a lot of needs on the world and also facts that contribute on makes poverty bigger. Every single person on this world thinks in some way that they are poor, but we should always remember that our "poverty" is other person's richness.

Yeimy Berrios Ingles
1. Poverty is for me the lack of basic needs such as health, food and a safe roof.
It is not having job or the resources needed to maintain a quality of live.
It's also not having access to adequate health.
2. I understand that when referring to poverty as the worst form of violence is because of greed and human indifference.
It is such that no matter what harm it causes, sole purpose is the wealth and power exploiting the needed and marginanlizing.
Poverty generates countless problem such as crime, hunger, disease, suffering and death.
3. We must become conscious and start with ourselves and around us.
Stop being so greedy, proud and be sensitive with your neighbor.
We can help different organizations that exist but change begins with you.

1. Sometimes we think that we are poor for not having all the material things we want, but the reality is that most of us always have food, medicine, clothing and a safe place for sleep. Poor are those who do not have money even for food or medicine.
2. I think he meant that everyday more people die for lack of food and medicine than are killed in war. Even poverty can lead to human to commit crimes or suicide by not having money.
3. I would treat of reducing economic inequality, where the rich have too much money and the poor have nothing. Also I try to raise awareness of the rich to share some of their wealth to the people most need.

1. For me poverty means lack of resources to meet basic human needs such as food, housing, education, health, clothing, water being. I also see it from other approaches such as poverty of values, mental, spiritual, social, among others.
2. To my knowledge Gandhi refers to abuse having people over economic power with people of low social class, since people of lower social class are repressed and subjected to these people. For me it is a form of violence to see people entering basic needs to live a good quality of life, while social class high as the political and those above the monopoly only think about how to get more money without thinking of the people need, bringing these people to violent acts of desperation by rhodes, murder, among other things.
3. To know the reality of the poor, see their needs, conditions and understand what their status as human beings. We must come together as citizens become aware and seek strategies to help these people in order to impose significant changes in their lives and in social life.
1. To me poverty is the lacking of fulfilling the most hard inconsistent in life like for example health food and shetter.
2. I think that he mean that is the worst form of violence because it affects so many aspects in life and it is so difficult to eradicate.
3. we all cold help stop this type of violence by being active and raising our voices to mark people conscious about this problem.
Efrain E Pellot Alvarez
1. For me is when people's basic needs for food, clothing, and shelter are not being met.
2. Not one location deals with it the same as the other. There are a few countries that do very well to contain it and the majority of others who do nothing at all.
3. Violence is the result of a combination of biological, social, and psychological factors, especially those that increase exposure to vulnerability, shame, and humiliation. Preventing violence must involve the opposite: making sure people feel safe, cared about, and connected, while ensuring they have a healthy and realistic sense of self-esteem and self-worth.
1) poverty is when the people don't count with the most minimun resorces to sustain themselves
2) when it is said that poverty is the worst form of violence , it is accepted that those who can erradicate, are not willing to show any compasión for others. They only are demostrating the lack of universal values.
3)To stop violence in all of its concepts or try to minimize it; my contribution would be a daily continued program of education and the development of human values by all posible means like school, television, radio and agencies; where an educational currículum regarding the concept of violence , must educate and re educate the population
Nicaela Pérez Lorenzo
1) For me, poverty means: suffering, necessity and hunger. Also brings loneliness now that these persons are in a critical state where they recieve very few help. Because of these insufficient economic incomes, they can't sustain they're basic necessities and other peoples noticing they're needs are most likely to avoid helping them.
2) I think he refers at peoples that have enough economic income to help others in poverty and don't provide help. Maybe because of ambition or other reasons that makes the obstacles to provide the needs to other people that need their support. This is injustice and unfair for these times, even the economy is not at its best, the people with high resources have no intrest in helping, which they're the best bet, for the salvacion of these family.
3) A possible way to help stop violence in poverty, is that the govermento to supply the necessary economic needs. People with high resources, through obligation have to help stop poverty not just with money , they can also help by donating food, clothes and medicines. These are things they lack of and need for their wellness.
1) Poverty for me is a way of life situation or That Arises as a result of the inability to access or lack of physical and human resources for basic needs. A deterioration in the level and quality of life of people such as food, housing, health care or access to potable water, etc. Poverty is something wrong That Should not exist.
2) I agree with what Gandhi said it is sad that people in the world die of hunger and need and suffering from poverty. The lack of basic services is a way to damage and destroy the life of a human being. The violence you see in this view is quite cruel.
3) I can stop violence offering my help to people in need. Belong to a group where you can visit the poor and help them. Not discriminate any situation in which that person is happening. Have hope that things will change for the better.
Poverty for me is lack of the most important things we need to live, like water, food, clothes and shelter. You can also be poor if you don't have love and compassion in your heart.
"Poverty is the worst form of violence" For me this means many things. How is it possible that there's no water to drink in some places but we have so much technology and humans are making islands like Dubai and doing great things is space but they've forgotten about the other humans living in this world...We have the power to end this world hunger and misery but we focus more in what we want and how to get it. We forget about the rest of the world and the need of education, health and moral values. If we become more at peace with ourselves we can reach and help the rest. I contribute to stop this violence educating myself first then educating the people around me starting with my sons. I live my life giving and loving 'cause we need more passion and tolerance towards the people who haven't experienced what is the art of being human. I believe we can achieve so much by forgiving and accepting ourselves and then try to change the circumstances - we need to end ignorance and selfihness so we can become better people and help others.
Jennifer Z. Rosas
1.poverty is the lack of something you need to subsist in life .it can also be the lack of something in your soul or your heart. people could be rich and have all the money that he needs to be happy , but at the same time , that person could be poor the need of some love.
2.I think that Gandhi sail that because of people that have lost of money use it in things that are not worth it without thinking about people who doesn't have anything and are in need. because of people like this is why there are a lot of poverty and people dying around the world without any help.
3.the best way to stop this problem is to share the message , marking it viral and helping people as much as I can. it the world learns to help each other , poverty and other social problems will stop. Luiz E. Ortiz Maldonado
1. Poverty is the result of the ignorance from powerful people. Also is the result of stubborn people that limit themselves accepting poverty as their way of life. Poverty is the worst state of mind that a man can conceive.
2. What Gandhi probably meant, was the difference that existed between status on those years. Specially the poor and the rich, poor had no resource while the rich grow in their revenue.
3. The best way to stop violence is by teaching people to learn their way live in there roll in the world. Also understanding the effort of everyones work by not attacking the one that work.
1. Poverty for me means lack of the most necessary things like food, clothes and a safe place to sleep. Do not have money to buy anything including medicine. For me is the worst thing to happen to a human being. We have everything and still complaining, while others don't even have anything to eat, it's a shame.
2. To me it means that poverty like violence is a result of the behavior of the human being that only think about themselves. How can you think about yourself when others are starving? We have the solution in our hands to end with this. We have to be more empathic to the problems of others.
3. Educating people to raise awareness about the devastating effects of poverty. Create an organization to send the necessary things like food, clothing, medicine and others. Search for volunteers to offer some basic services such as education, health care services and other professionals interested to help.
1. To me poverty means porrness. A lot of people have everything but others don't. We need to be greatful of everything we have. Some things are difficult to have. Like the people that live in Africa or Haiti they don't have food or home. I think the president and all the politics should help them.
2. I think he meant that all the poorness is a violence. Maybe because the people don't have nothing and its a violence that people don't help them.
3. I would stop the violence by talking to the people how should all the world should be in peace. And if I had a lot of money I would bye food of all the people that doesn't have. That is what I understand of all the question asked.
Angel Javier Soto González
1.Poverty has been one of the most difficult factors to face throughout history. It is very difficult to see how people sleep without enjoying a meal before bed. The vanity and greed have led us to live in such ways that ignore people living in poverty, and this not only happens in continents like Africa, this happens around us in our daily lives and it is sad to ignore that when each of us is the solution.
2. Poverty is the worst way to punish someone, because it does not have the resources to survive in the environment around them. Unfortunately this has been the way that humans get what you want or because you want a territory, gold, diamonds or any resource that can take advantage. There by they are seeking to increase their wealth regardless of whether others suffer or die from poverty and hunger.
3.Unfortunately if I wanted to help stop violence it is something that never ends and has always existed since the beginning of human existence. Our race charged with this and even the most righteous person sometime has used violence to get something. Many famous people have risen up to stop the violence, but none have succeeded, only subside for a while but always kept there.
Ricardo Y. Nieves
1-For me, poverty is the worst situation a person could face. Because when you're poor you don't have the capacity of supply all the your needs like food and clothing. Is a situation that many people are facing right now, for example, Haiti.
2 Grandi is trying to say that poverty is the worse violence because some people have money and they invest it in insignificant things and not helping to end that poverty.
3- I would help giving lectures on how to be better people. Helping those in need and of course promoting a better education for new generations.
