Is Poverty Necessary

In this globalised world, we are all face to poverty and social inequality that are the concequences of capitalism and desire of holding the political power and having economic dominance. Even, we sometimes suffer from poverty in society while we are keeping going to live and survive, such as robbery, severity, illegality and ignorantness. Therefore all social institutions are organized to meet for one common point that is to hamper poverty and provide social equality within society in order to access citizenship and the exixtance of democrasy in social means.

However, even though we all suffer from poverty and try our bests for diminishing the huge gap or difference between the social classes or aiming to afford quite similar economic income and social life standard within individuals in society as a social duty, we are all aware of the impossibility of rebelling against poverty as we consider that we are living in a kind of world where all points are made or created with the traces of capitalism. If we examine the system of capitalism, we can determine that in capitalism there is no concept of social inequality. As Marshall refers, according to capitalist approach we need to have poverty, social inequality and diversity in economic means in order to have elite class and wealtier people living with poor ones. Moreover, we can conclude that there should be under-developed countries in order to see some developed ones. For instance, in this globalized world, developed countries provide their opulence by exploiting the developing countries. If there was no poor state to exploit and take advantage on, then there would be no rich countries, because they ensure their economic dominace by controlling poor ones. At this point we can suppose that poverty is necessary in order to create wealtier countries. The other example can be given in business life, the shareholders or businessmen can not make profit and increase their revenue without labors. Therefore, the bussinessmen get richer and richer with the labor power of the poor class.

Finally, throughout these examples and Marshall's statements, I agree with the idea which illustrates that poverty is necessary. Actually, I am aware of that social inequality and poverty are not the suitable positions for accessing citizenship, human rights and social healty in society. However, by considering the type of system that assits the world turning around I understan that we can not hamper the poverty that helps the wealtier people get more rich but maybe only diminish the gap between the social classes by tring our bests as a social duty.
