Josh Williams Religion 10 3/16/13 Mr. Martinez Cause Of distress In The United States Poverty is an increasing problem in the United States. The cause of want in the United States is a plethora of things, Such as the economy haveting worse so jobs and factories had to diagnose budget cuts so umteen people lost their job because Of the worsening economy.This is non the only footing though in that location is also people who have serious drug and alcohol addictions and use both their money on their addictions and so become pathetic, in that respect is still the gamblers that loose all their money and theres the people that n constantly got a approximate education so never got a good job and was never able to support themselves or families.Poverty is very tragic but sometimes its not only Because someone got laid off their job and theres nothing they could do around it, but also it tramp be the persons fault for addictions, gambling and never taking school earnestly and regretting it when their older and dont have a job to support yourself or family. During the Holocaust there were art objecty make upts that occurred which violated skilful about every rationale of Catholic Social T to separately oneings. there ar three that stand out the most these principles are weatherness and dignity of the human person, survival for the poor and vulnerable, and also care for Gods creation.These principles were violated in many ways and various occasions during the final solution. The holocaust violates life and dignity of the human person in many ways one is that it god decides when ones life shall end and how their life shall go but the holocaust killed many innocent people for no effort and that is not what god planned for these people. If we bear all this wo(e) and if there are still Jews left, when it is over, then Jews, instead of being doomed, lead be held up as an example. Anne Frank.This summon by Anne Frank shows even though Jews were put through so much miserable and were denied their dignity they will still be powerful and great people. What exactly was the difference? He wondered to himself. And who determined which people wore the striped pajamas and which people wore the uniforms? stern Boyne. This abduce is saying that killing humans is not fair because what if the killer was being killed and god decided who is who so a person should not be able to decide if he or she should live or not that is gods decision.Option for the poor and vulnerable is that people should not be prosecuted or treated other than for any reason but in the holocausts case it was the vulnerable being attacked and treated differently because Hitler and his Nazi army out numbered the Jews. I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Elie Wiesel.This quot e is showing that the Jews were vulnerable to the Nazi attacks and that no human should have to go through that pain and suffering no matter what terminal figure of living. We are alive. We are human, with good and bad in us. Thats all we know for sure. We fannyt create a mod species or a new(a) field. Thats been done. Now we have to live within those boundaries. What are our choices? We tin can discouragement and curse, and change nothing. We can choose evil like our enemies have done and create a world based on hate. Or we can provide to make things better. Carol Matas.This quote shows that humans no matter how poor, rich, small, tall, or whatever ethnicity or religious beliefs should not be held vulnerable to a extract of terrorists or extremist group such as the Nazis on the Jews. The last principle of catholic social teachings that were violated by the actions of the Nazis during the holocaust was care for Gods creations. This is the principle that was violated the most, throughout the holocaust Jews were abused and worked to death and killed with various ways of torture showing complete disregard to Gods wishes of loving all and his creations. never shall I pull up stakes that night, the original night in pack, that turned my life into one long night seven times sealed. Never shall I forget that great deal. Never shall I forget the small faces of the children whose bodies I saw transformed into smoke under a silent sky. Never shall I forget those flames that consumed my faith forever. Never shall I forget the nocturnal silence that deprived me for all eternity of the desire to live. Never shall I forget those moments that polish off my God and my soul and turned my dreams to ashes.Never shall I forget those things, even were I condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never. Elie Wiesel. This quote shows the get word of a Jew who was actually in a concentration camp and he had to deal with the pain and suffering and this quote brings out all the sick torture he received in a quote and how he will be scared for life and will never forget what happened to him at the concentration camp. They thought we were stupid to do it, ( cloak Jews) of course in fact, it was beyond their comprehension that we would risk so much for Jews. Diet Eman. This quote shows even if it was stupid to help Jews and hide them because of the risk of being killed it was worth it because he was aware of Gods wishes and how the creation of god should be loved so this noble man sacrificed and put his take life at risk just to help and care for one of Gods creations. The cause of poverty in the United States is many things in todays caller, such as the worsening of the economy, job cuts, drug and alcohol addiction, gambling, poor income, and not attending college.In many cases some of these causes can intervene and affiliate with each other. For example if someone is poor from spending all of their money on alcohol and drugs the might try to gamble to get money back, or if someone does not attend college they might not get enough money from their job to provide for themselves or a family if they have one. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich. John F, Kennedy.This quote by the power president of the United States claims that if a nation cant help their people who are suffering through poverty it cant save the corrupt rich citizens who dont gift and try to help the struggling lower class then they dont disserve to be wealthy. This is a secondary source because John F. Kennedy did not suffer from poverty. Poverty is a lot concealed in splendor, and often in extravagance. It is the task of many people to conceal their neediness from others. Consequently they support themselves by temporary means, and day-to-day is lost in contriving for tomorrow. Samuel Johnson.

This quote is sa ying that poverty is not just brought upon someone but if you dont work ambitious enough it will come upon you so you must catch ones breath humble and never become to slow and always strive for the best.

Poverty is experienced through out the world in oversize numbers but continues to grow as a huge struggle for The United states.I have my own personal experience with poverty in my life, as do many citizens of the United States. My personal experience with poverty was about two years ago my aunt who is also my godmother, and a very wet woman in my life whom I look up to was fired from her job because her company unavoidable to save money. This impacted my life in a huge way because my aunt had nowhere to stay and she had to live with e and my family until she found a new job and was able to afford a new house.During this time period every day after my homework I would look in the publisher with my aunt and help her find jobs that sounded like fun because it made me sad seeing my aunt like this because I looked up to her and she is one of the most inspirational women in my life because of the way she faugh through her struggles and overcame poverty and is now very successful. But sadly after my aunt w as back on her feet and doing good at her new job a few months later she was diagnosed with breast cancer.When I heard this news I was heartbroken but I didnt let it upset me because I know that my aunt is the strongest women ever and she can overcome anything she has been cleared of cancer twice and keeps fighting it off I know she can do anything. Poverty even in today remains as one of the United Stats biggest tribulations. more(prenominal) then 15% of the United States suffers from poverty, this is not acceptable we as proud citizens of the United States should fight for each other and always have one anothers back in hardships such as poverty.Ways average people can help decrease the poverty rate s very transparent and will not even contribute too much time out of their day, there are easy fast simple ways we can help people suffering from poverty. These ways are doing charitable acts such as donating money, food and shelter to homeless people, or simply just can food drives at your local school just try to get involved and help your lad neighbors. Poverty may be strong but as a powerful matching nation we can do anything and poverty would stand no chance against us because we are gods children and we can do anything
