Poverty is the Cause of All Evils
Poverty in today's global scenario has become the root cause of almost all evils, because it has the power and the ability to make people compromise their moral and cultural values as well as religious beliefs. Poverty has created a new race of people possessing the qualities of frustration,loss of hope and value for life.
Poverty has no borders. It has pushed societies to lose compassion for others. If one is hungry and has no means of stuffing the aching stomach with food, stealing will be a solution which one may adopt. Life becomes survival of the fittest: in order to survive, people engage in crime of all sorts including fraud, robbery, snatching, drug trafficking and corruption.
The riches of the world entice the poor to resort to crimes as they are ignorant. Education is touted as the means to escape poverty and it often is. The poor get little or no education. Thus they often don't even know certain things that may help them improve their situation. So it is the responsibility of the government as well as duty of the prosperous class to help those who struggle to make a living.
