The issue of poverty is one of the most significant subjects to deal within order to equalize all the members of society. Moreover, poverty itself, being a serious negative restrictor of progress, stimulates the emergence of such problems as drug addiction, criminal local and global wars, lack of education, diseases, and epidemics. In particular, people from all over the world are encountering the problems of the so-called “digital divide,” economic crisis, racial discrimination including the institutional racism, political domination of certain nations over the other, high crime and substance addiction rates. These aspects altogether are constantly contributing to the rise of poverty and inequality among different communities, as some of them had been more successful in acquiring power from the historical perspective when it was time to conquer new territories. Thus, in order to be an effective educator regarding the issue of poverty, it is appropriate to investigate numbers of scientific articles on this subject, collect enough information to make sure that not only arguments but also contra-arguments are presented in the study. Except for scientific articles, an educator should have some personal experience in interviewing people who are suffering from poverty as well as interviewing politicians who have possibilities to make at least some decisions.

Proceeding from the information that poverty is a global problem, appearing in various types of land, from the mountains to plains and islands, it is essential to analyze the issue at certain levels: each country, culture, and ethnic group in separate paradigms. Despite its global influence, the phenomenon of poverty does not have absolutely equal origins in all countries. For instance, poverty among island tribal communities is engendered by the lack of development in culture, progress in technologies, and the absence of individual growth. According to Levine (2014), “Acemoglu and Robinson theorize that there are two kinds — “extractive” institutions in which a “small” group of individuals do their best to exploit the rest of the population, and “inclusive” institutions in which “many” people are included in the process of governing” (para. 1). Thus, the absence of “inclusive” institutions, in terms of which people are involved in the governmental process of social advancement, are playing a vital role in shaping the nation. On the contrary, “extractive” institutions lead to total poverty, as they are stealing from the ordinary members of society without giving them something in return. However, ordinary residents altogether are indeed the builders of nations.
