After reading the three stories "The Poor" and "What is Poverty", talk about your understanding of poverty.

Sang Na, the hero of The Poor, and her husband are both "poor people" who make a living by fishing, but their noble spirit has not changed because of the poverty of material life.

The author praised their noble, selfless and kind "rich" spirit by describing their resolute adoption of two orphans left by neighbor widows. The novel truly expresses the author's own humanitarian ideal and sincerely praises the deep and generous love of the "poor".

Generally speaking, the concept of "poverty" can be discussed from the following aspects:

The material needs of human beings include the shortage of daily necessities and services, whether these deficiencies have been changed or improved, whether the economy is abundant, and whether money and resources (natural resources) are sufficient. The word "enough" has different definitions in culture, politics and economy all over the world. The definition of "poverty" in EU countries includes whether resources are allocated equally.

Social interpersonal relationships, whether people facing poverty are marginalized, whether they depend on others, whether they can live a lifestyle that is generally considered "normal"-for example, whether they can maintain a healthy family, raise children, and participate in social activities.

In today's economic society, the concept of poverty should be deepened, involving the spiritual field and the progress of thoughts and feelings.

Poverty is related to many aspects of social, economic and cultural traditions.

Economically, there are two kinds of poverty: absolute poverty and relative poverty.

Politically, the governments of many countries regard fighting and eliminating poverty as their social welfare goals. In order to achieve this goal, many governments have also established organizations or institutions to deal with poverty. The work done by these institutions mainly focuses on the census research and identification of low-income families.

In terms of positive action, it includes housing supply plan, social allowance, special job opportunities or providing daily necessities. Some ideologies (such as Marxism) believe that economists and politicians strive to create poverty. Other theories hold that poverty is a sign of the failure of the economic system and the main cause of crime.

Legally speaking, in many developed countries, poverty is one of the reasons for legally mitigating punishment. Lawmakers usually think that whether a person can clearly understand the behavior accepted by society and law is influenced by his usual and frequent poverty. Due to the increasing psychological pressure of the poor, poverty is usually considered to lead to an increase in crime rate.

In ancient Chinese in China, the word poverty was explained separately.

Poverty means no money.

Being poor means having no official title.
