AN UNCOMPLICATED MIND: Poverty as a moral dilemma
AN UNCOMPLICATED MIND: Poverty as a moral dilemma
By Joe Rivera
POVERTY IS A CONDITION that a vast majority of people in the world suffers from. Today, poverty exists amidst a world of plenty.
Occupy Wall Street (OWS) and like movements around the world have focused on this condition as 99 per cent of society struggles to survive while its 1 per cent luxuriates in wealth accumulation. This is what makes the protesters angry, the fact that poverty co-exists with affluence. The OWS protests are also furious that the larger socio-economic system is greatly responsible for this general malaise and the rich are not doing their share in resolving this issue.
