Poverty is a condition in which a person or community is deprived of, and or lacks the essentials for a minimum standard of well-being and life. Since poverty is understood in many senses,[1] these essentials may be material resources such as food, safe drinking water, and shelter, or they may be social resources such as access to information, education, health care, social status, political power[2], or the opportunity to develop meaningful connections with other people in society[3].

What I posted above is a short paragraph from (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_poverty)
I think this gives people a pretty brief and good idea about global poverty. Communties who are deprived of essentials of a good life. I like how they put this and that they state poverty as a condition. It is a condition that many are suffering from. The list of senses poverty could be understood as also helps. Material, and social needs are taken away from these people and communities. The lists help people understand a lot. E.g. Infromation,education,health care. These are things that every decent person deserves. I learnt quite a bit from the above paragraph. The links on this site helped as well. Now my main focus is on how the media connects of all of this.
