 * Title:** The Unspeakable Truths of Poverty in the Inner-Cities of America


 * Introduction:** Imagine visiting a city that you have been anticipating to see for years. Walking down the streets of the city you see people living in makeshift homes, hear babies crying, and smell revolting odors from the shanty public housing buildings. How do you feel about this city now? Poverty is a major issue around the world and our nation. It has affected millions of citizens in every city in the United States. Living right outside of Philadelphia I visit the city and observe poverty every where I turn. Many Americans do not know the extremities and sadness of poverty in the inner-cities of America. There are various explanations and hypotheses for the reasons behind poverty more commonly found in the cities of America. Various factors include limited amount of education, low-paying incomes, and racial discrimination to name just a few. Poverty is more commonly found in the inner-cities of America due to the continuous cycle of limited availability and quality of education leading to low-paying incomes.


 * Scope:** I am writing for the American public. Poverty is a social issue that affects everybody throughout the nation. Many are unaware of why poverty is more commonly found in the inner-cities and do not know what to do about it. I want to be able to inform the common citizens with information about poverty in the cities of America and what can be done about it. My major goal is to raise awareness of poverty in America and to rid of America’s ignorance of one of the largest social issues.
