Poverty from MY View


Many people believe that poverty means lack of money. In one hand it looks correct. On the other hand it could be appeared in different ways. In recently years many countries have found different solutions against poverty, and the meaning of poverty has been changed. It is not limited to lack of money; it could be demonstrated itself in another form. Today, many people around the world are being deprived from fresh air, sanitary drinking water, beautiful landscapes, clean soil, and biodiversity. We can call it environmental poverty. Sometimes, it could be more harmful in comparison with financial poverty. In a big city with heavy air pollution it does not matter you are rich, or you are poor; everyone has to breathe poisonous air and involves to its consequences. I saw many people in such a big and polluted city who envy poor people in villages with fresh air and beautiful landscapes. As a matter of fact, it is being happened not only in developing countries but also in developed countries. In my opinion, environmental poverty is more intolerable than financial poverty. It can involve more people than financial poverty.

Language Ability


A lot of researches have been conducted to show what determines our character, personality or our behavior. For instance, most people believe that women talk more than men. As a matter of fact women are more verbal in private situation; meanwhile, men talk more in public situation. It can be seen these differences in children. Little girls like to play with their best friend with a lot of conversation; while, little boys often play games in group. Recently, researches show that not only nature can influence on language ability, but also nurture does. There is some evidence that parents talk to their daughters more than their sons. Also, when they talk to their daughters, they talk about their emotions with details. It begins from the newborn age, because the boys are less developed than girls, so they respond to their parents more. Consequently, parents begin to talk more to their daughters. This topic was very interesting to me. Before reading this topic, I never thought that parent’s behavior can make difference on their daughter and sons language ability. As a mother, I try to speak with my children more and more, because I know it’s the best way to develop their language ability.
