annotation1 what is the real poverty?


     Why people keep working hard for money? The true poverty in this society.In this society, people keep working hard for money. But, why people always desires for fortune and power? Do we really need such lots of money to prevent from being poor? Many news about doctors’ overworks which cause their death gradually be heard, on top of that, some areas in Africa which once to be the colonies are always in the condition of poverty. They do not have any vacant lot to plant foods, every area in their country were used to plant for economical crops like cotton and hemp. Human being works so hard to giant their fortune not for the short of substance, but for their true poverty of their psychology- they will never satisfied with what they have already own. 
      In the video which Muhammad Yunus talked about Grameen Bank, he makes an example by being a slave to explain how terrible the economy condition in Bangladesh. That woman was willing to accept this kind of deal to exchange for money; she was in force to do that because of the poverty that may cause her family’s starvation. When I see this video, I thought that not only she, but all of us were the slave for fortune. But the different between people in developed country and that woman is the reason they desired for money. That woman needed money to get some food and maintained her basic life, hoe about people in developed country, why they also became the slave of money? Do they short of food? No, it was because they didn’t satisfied with their life and always desired for more power and more space to live.

    For example, Muhannad Yunus talked about economic activities in rural villages: Women who made bamboo furniture had to take out usurious loans for buying bamboo, to pay their profits to the moneylenders....

    You can also keep track of his followers' actions about the rural development. What are their impacts on the government's policy making? What is the bank system of "solidarity groups"?

    As we have discussed in class, we have similar problems in Taiwan. For example, a surplus production of bananas. See the following links,
