Question

Write an article in 150-200 words on the topic"poverty is the cause of all evils"to be published in the young world column of the "the Hindu"Chennai

Answer 1

Poverty is

the cause of social evils

There is no

denying the fact that poverty is the cause of many social evils; but it is not

the cause of all the evils. Poverty may tempt the poor to criminal activities.

Lack of resources results in many problems. For example, the poor may not be

able to send their children to school. As the saying goes ‘An empty mind is a

devil’s den’, the free children might get involved in anti-social activities

such as thievery, pick-pocketing, violence, drugs, smuggling, etc. The lack

money might force them to do bad things. Lack of education can further worsen

their decision-making.

The

Government should make poverty eradication its first priority and provide

enough resources to people. Poverty of any kind is a blemish for a country.
