Answer Preview

In essence, I am relating this video to poverty one of the most widespread social issues. It is apparent that poverty is a social problem in both undeveloped and developed countries. Statistics have revealed that the gap between the poor and the rich is still enlarging because of the unequal distribution of wealth and resources. This means that all people need equal opportunity, particularly under-educated and underclass communities. It is apparent that if an individual is poor enough and his or her schooling is bad enough then the individual does not really have the opportunity to compete. This topic appears to change my opinion on the topic of poverty because I have realized that equal distribution of wealth and resources is one of the great ways of eradicating poverty.
