NEEDS IN LATIN AMERICAN HOUSES
Introduction
Poverty is something very commented on antiquity as in modernity, although we are in the 21st century, there are still households that live low economic resources, having discomforts and where they do not know how to cope with them. Poverty is severe deprivation and it is considered that people are poor when it is judged that their material conditions are morally unacceptable, it is also associated with a lack of resources, it can also be understood in economic terms.
Developing
The most used approaches to measure poverty is that of income, to the point that some social scientists consider that poverty is equivalent to low income. This issue of poverty can also be related to the lack of opportunities that arise in each of the people for bad family offspring, lack of education or health problems;It can be indicated that the government tries to help you with free medicines and education, but that is not enough when you live in great misery, or there is a large group of person in the same home.
This issue was chosen personally, since in the sector where my domicile is the coop. Star of Bethlehem, located in the city of Guayaquil;The poverty that many people are found and can be visible through a walk around its surroundings is notorious;Meanwhile in other cases it has a better level of comfort, or that can be visible by the size of the house structures, since the families that seem to resource their home are only a few reeds and is relevant to me, andthat since childhood I have observed the changes that have been executed.
If reference is made about 15 years ago, when I was just 7 years old, I remember that poverty was very noticeable, since it was not consisted of drinking water and we had to be subsidized by tank and the streets were very badly it was and that also harmedTo the seated people, since several blocks had to be walking to take a means of transport, there was a really unfortunate market where people had their products outdoors to be marketed.
Over the years, the help from the municipality of Guayaquil was very satisfactory with the placement of sewerage, basic services, access to technology until today is carried out projects and community meetings centers for the sector, but thatIt does not avoid that there are still very poor homes where in many cases it is collapsed between children and adults, where they cannot enjoy a house in good condition.
Poverty not only covers the central issue of money, but what is education, since with low resources it is not very likely that an academic cycle such as our society can be completed (school, school and university), also health;Not having resources is very prone to find in a home different diseases that can be granted through food that does not know how to be appropriate, since many times you do not have the three daily meals.
According to Mike Davis’s article, he refers to the following. “In turn, the poor of cities around the world are forced to settle in dangerous land and in which, otherwise, it is impossible to build, that is, on slopes of excessively steep mountains or shores and plains subject tofloods. They also occupy under the deadly shadows of refineries, chemical factories, toxic landfills or in the vicinity of train tracks and highways. Poverty, therefore, has built a problem of urban catastrophes of unprecedented frequency and scope ”.
Regarding this, it really has a very broad observation, the place where I am telling are hills with references to some mountains, which many years ago, were completely empty and were settled invasions that is a very peculiar theme in the city where residue, povertywhich is reflected in many families that are around me not only lack money problems, but problems of crime, drugs or not being made up of the family base that we all know.
In addition, many of these people do not entail a paid job according to the effort they make daily and stable that helps them to take something to their homes, most of these people are of informal vendors or even often begging. It is unfortunate that in the modernization that we are currently there are still in children who stop studying or fulfilling their role of children, which is to play and enjoy their childhood;have to go to work because you have responsibility to have something better in the future.
In many places where there is a level of poverty, they may be full of animals, since they are raised, then be sold or to be used as food;Oh, this is also lived in part of the field that exercise this work, as seen in the photo where there are chickens and ducks, it is also relevant to observe that the house that was chosen for demonstration does not have protection walls to protect peoplethat inhabit the home, and it is necessary, since they risk the dangers that are lived day by day.
There are several books where mention based on this subject;Like Ángel Rama, in his text in the literate city;Where mention the following: “The modernized period, under its liberal mask, relied on an intensified repressive system, although all its drastic effects were felt more on the rural region than on the city itself, since transfer to the lower sectorsurban, especially to the organized of the workers, a small part of the wealth derived from commercial intermediation ”. (Rama, 1998)
Emphasizing, in the time we find that it is modernity, dominating it as a liberal, within a repressive government that its little help that does it through health or education, it is often so miserable, and where poor people must access by notHave enough conditions, when it indicates the transfer to lower sectors that are full of workers, not only that;The neighborhood where I find myself is full of farmers and farmers where they often had to leave the field where I lived in a place with more lack than now there are much are found.
According to Aníbal Quijano, in his text “dependence, social change and urbanization in Latin America“ emphasizes that;”The current urbanization process in Latin America consists of the expansion and modification of the urban sectors already existing in society, as a consequence, since altering urban-rural relations within it, conditioning and stimulating corresponding changes in the sectors themselvesrural ”(Quijano)
In fact, it is so, with the migration of people from places away from the city, to get better life for their own;He has only coming with the purpose of invading land that is often dominated as dangerous;And that happened in the sector where my story made;Years ago considered dangerous by the landslides that were caused in winter time;It was very unfortunate, but over the years it was rebuilt and suitable for families that lack or not money.
The topic has seemed very novel;since being surrounded day by day in such a place I realize that this type of theme called poverty;It still exists, regardless of how much we use advancing according to novelties of governments;But what is useful if in sectors cataloged such as the one I habit there are still people who must subsist with less than ten dollars, with more than five children;It is very unfortunate, since this issue is also of concern that the poorer more children exists in these homes, and many times due to lack of necessary resource they end with the ends very little to tell.
