![]() ![]() Poverty is a global problem of huge proportions with explosive social consequences for peace and stability. Poverty on the other hand is a concept that refers to "pronounced deprivation in well being." (1) In simple terms, to be poor is to be hungry, homeless, sick, illiterate, voiceless, powerless and generally unprotected from adverse and potentially oppressive and unjust social realities. It decisively contributes to people’s assumption of self-worth. It evokes difficult to disengage attitudes of prosperity, power, social status, security and personal success. Wealth and poverty are elements of social stratification that substantively contribute to people's definition and experience of "good life." Wealth is a multivalent concept loaded with multiple ideological complex meanings.
