What are some examples of how Capitalism & corporate economics (Walmart/Walgreens/Target, etc) is creating challenges in your own island, community, state, nation that relates to this UN Goal / Issue?
These big corporate businesses are creating challenges in our island because they make it harder for individuals to start their own business similar to these and compete with their prices. That is one thing I could think of that these business could cause poverty in our Island. Why is this something to consider: Do you see a specific (friends or family you know) with a personal connection to these issues that connect with poverty or other social challenges (and please try to find at least one) - what/who is it and why? I do not know a specific friend or family member that is connected to poverty. What, if anything, are you learning about how economic trends impact your Global issue and how has your understanding of the impacts of it perhaps influenced the way you see your group topic as a worthwhile challenge or problem to be addressed? I feel like our problem is something that we need to address because poverty is a problem but it is not because of our government system. I think what i've learned shows that poverty is the cause of the individual not being able to work, being dependent on the government, and not spending their money wisely.
