1. A man is going to do a study on poverty in the favela.His original assignment was to find a father and ask him questions. However he found a small boy who was horribly malnourished and decided to follow him anyways. He followed him to his home and saw the poverty he lived in having alot of family.
He talked to the father the next day and found he owned a shop next to a clinic. He sells bleach and kerosene makes less that a dollar a day. Also because of his shop placement the clinic wouldnt see his son who suffered from malnutrition and violent coughing. The reporter and cameraman/interpreter took the young boy(flavio) to the doctor who told them he didnt have long to live and that he was a goner.
Quite honestly that is a sad story and probably happens alot. Theres no real magic way to end poverty except for people to give hard work and dedication to the project and money! Also some families just lack the will power or are held up by some family members.
2. Thats insane pay poor people to take birth control, I mean who seriously runs this country! Have we become that lazy that we lack the will power to try and help people. You should never throw money at a problem unless its something really easily fixed, but still its going to be wasted. People should be responsible regardless of what incentives are offered.

  1. Good job on your first question. Watch your tone on your second question. Follow the labeling conventions for your subject heading. You needed to have a citation for Question 2 and you needed more than an opinion.
