Is there a poverty problem in the United States? In the world? Should the government do something about it or is it something that the people need to do to fix it? Explain.

Yes, there is a poverty problem in the United States due to wage inequality, inflation (a general increase in prices and fall in the purchasing value of money), and poor education systems.

There's a poverty problem all around the world because some people are struggling to provide for basic needs like health, education, and access to clean water and sanitation.

The government should do something about poverty because it's not up to the people to fix it, they have no power or funds whatsoever to get out of a poor situation such as poverty.

The government can lessen the rates of poverty and get more people out of poverty by helping people get more jobs and strengthen existing programs like unemployment insurance, food stamps, and cash assistance for example.

new communications technology has affected the way social movements are organized because nowadays, social movements rely on social networks and the media to get different people with a similar way of thinking in contact, and thus, get them to mobilize for a greater cause.

individuals only participate in collective action when they feel identified with it. is in this aspect that social media becomes relevant, because it guarantees communication among all individuals and organizes the social actions that are going to be carried out, i.e., the social movements.

in addition, being covered by the media is important to validate the message and make it relevant in the social agenda, as well as to reach more people who can share interests, appealing to public sympathy for their cause.

in conclusion, it is by social networks and social media that social movement is given birth; by connecting different individuals with similar ideas and organizing them to mobilize for a greater cause.
