I learnt that wicked problem is difficult to solve because of its complex independencies.
It is interlinked with other problems. It creates other problems, such as inequality. In addition,
poverty is a biggest issue in front of overall world. It is also depend on the economy of the
country. However, poverty is interlinked with other things, such as hunger, homeless, education,
and health. Poverty affects the social life and it is a social issue in front of most of the countries.
I learnt about the social issue, which is always in front of all the people, which is poverty.
Poverty means people unable to meet basic needs, such as education, clothing, shelter, food, and
health. In world, 815 million people are food insecure because of poverty. According to many
surveys, 25 percent of children are stunted in world and because of lack of food 8 million dies in
whole world (worldhunger.org, 2018).
In present era, more than 1 billion people are not having shelter and because of it, they
face physical and psychological problems. Another issue is education because of poverty. Based
on educational surveys, 264 million children and youth are unable to join schools. Poverty is also
affecting the health, as 400 million people do not have access to essential health services in
