ASSALAM -O-ALAIKUM!

Life has many parts, and we have to make every part full of learnings and lessons. Competitions and learning campaigns related to our current problems are our initiatives toward making life better and successful. I was so impressed by this contest and now I am making efforts to do it.

This is my first participation in the contest” Contest Alert: "Is Poverty Man-made or Life Happens?"
hosted by @bossj23 in Steem4Nigeria.

I am thankful to @senehasa, who invited me, and I also want to invite here @tammanna, @sana-khan01, and @ghiasahmad.

Is poverty and not having money the same thing? Explain.

Lack of money is a temporary situation, while poverty is a difficult and long-lasting situation. A person may not have money at one time, but he has all the necessary resources to improve his life, including education, employment, and other factors. You can also call poverty a prison; it is a name for social and governmental misery. It may include a lack of education, people not getting the necessary life and health, and the factors necessary for a living becoming difficult despite their efforts, injustice, inequality in the country, etc.

Lack of money may be limited to a single person or a society, but poverty can be a problem for an entire nation, an entire country. It may also include the wrongness of the government and economic system natural disasters, etc.
Not having money is not exactly the same thing, but they are two different factors, and they can be seen from two ideal perspectives. I have heard different scholers to say that :-

A person who has money can be poor because he does not have those basic facilities, on the contrary, a person who does not have money cannot be poor because if he has all the basic facilities that prove useful in his life.

As UN CHARTER defines poverty:-

“Poverty is more than the lack of income and resources to ensure a sustainable livelihood. Its manifestations include hunger and malnutrition, limited access to education and other basic services, social discrimination and exclusion, as well as the lack of participation in decision-making.”

Do you think that poverty is man-made or circumstances in life create it? Mention 2 main reasons for poverty in your country.

Poverty is a complex issue that can include human factors as well as sometimes living conditions. As far as humans are concerned, it can include various factors, such as lack of employment, free enjoyment of people, refusal to invest in the field of education, government injustice, unequal distribution of wealth among the circles, and the general public not having access to all the opportunities that the government provides.**
In addition, natural disasters, such as forest fires, floods, and others, can increase the air. In my country, two main factors are causing poverty.

inflation

Inflation is the most growing problem in my country. The imbalance in the prices of the necessities of life is increasing poverty. A common man whose salary is only 500 rupees, if he is facing instability in the prices of the necessities of life, is unable to obtain these things.

Natural disaster

The second problem that has increased poverty in my country in recent times is natural disasters. In 2022, a flood hit Pakistan, destroying all the facilities. People had to face difficult conditions even to feed themselves. The existence of the necessities of life has almost deteriorated and disappeared due to this natural disaster.
Pakistan had to face very difficult conditions to get out of this natural disaster. All the basic necessities of life had to be rebuilt anew, and the biggest task was to create hope for life among the people.

Give life experiences to prove that poverty is either man-made or circumstances in life cause it.

Poverty can sometimes be man-made factors as well as natural and can increase due to events in life that we are not expecting.
The question about this is Pakistan. It went through the disasters of the 2022 floods. This included human factors, government policy, lack of infrastructure, lack of dams, and failure to take necessary measures to address climate change.

Along with this, natural disasters, such as heavy rainfall, weather conditions, and the tragically changing wind cycle, which were beyond human control, not only displaced millions of Pakistanis but also proved that these poverty problems, despite being man-made, can be the result of all these unforeseen events that we do not expect.

A person refuses to cheat people to earn money and lift himself out of poverty. Would you say that the person is the reason why he is still poor or would you say that he is satisfied with poverty? Justify your answer

It is not entirely correct to say that a person is responsible for his own poverty, nor can we say that he is satisfied with his poverty. He's not cheating people is the height of his moral values. He prefers honesty and a rightful owner over cheating and making money from ill-gotten coins.
His not cheating is not the reason for his poverty; rather, he is often at a high moral level, and he does not want to earn money by cheating, nor does he think that cheating, dishonesty, and fraud can get him out of poverty.

Poverty can often be caused by lack of food, lack of necessities of life, and many other things. So the question is whether he is satisfied with his poverty?

So if he is earning money for himself in his honest way, then it means that he is on the way out of poverty, then he is not. But on the contrary, if he...
If he is not trying to get out of poverty and is not following any method of earning money, then he is satisfied with it because it is said that :-

Being born poor is not a person's problem, but dying poor is a person's problem.
