Hello everyone, and thank you for joining me yet again for another blog! As you can tell from the title, it is about a very important topic.
Earlier today, I had completed an assignment that covers Sustainable Development, and the part I was most interested in was the Sustainable Development Goals. Sustainable Development is meeting human development goals, while at the same time sustaining the natural resources that our human race must need. The Sustainable Development Goals are 17 goals that all reach the end target/goal, which is the achieve and be able to set up a better future for all.
However, within these 17 Sustainable Development Goals, there was one goal that interested me much more then other: No Poverty. I explored much on this topic No Poverty, and even reviewed this lesson plan here that is a great way of introducing and having your students practice their critical thinking by answering questions on No Poverty.
I think the Goal of No poverty is so important, because all around our country our children of the future are in a place that has created tons of barriers in front of them on escaping poverty. One of the most important aspects of trying to escape poverty, is education. An education is so important and one of the most critical aspects of poverty as in places of poverty, kids are not receiving a proper education and do not have a stressed importance on education because they have way too many other things going on in their life just to get by.
After doing some research on the correlation between education and poverty, they directly affect each other. If you live in poverty, then you may be forced to drop out of school and fall behind in receiving that essential education. The thing about poverty as well, is it is passed down from generation to generation. For example, if I was born in a poverty area, I would eventually have to maybe drop out of school so I can make money to just pay my rent. This will then happy to my child as they are going to be put in a very similar place as I was not able to escape poverty because I did not receive an education to and get a job somewhere else.
I am happy that I was able to create this blog and bring attention to the on going issue of poverty, not just in our country, but for all over the globe. Education plays such a big role in poverty, and it is important to make that widely known so everyone can do the appropriate actions in trying to help these future generations.
