It is said that Lennie causes the tragic ending of the book and that it is his own fault for killing the puppy, Curley’s wife, and for getting himself killed. However, you cannot blame someone for something they have no control over. Lennie didn’t do any of those things with the intention of a bad outcome. It is proven that it is not Lennie’s fault because of the effect Curley’s wife’s persistence has on him, the temptation she forced on him, and the fact that Lennie knows the differences between right and wrong.
The country of Nigeria has been a state since 1960, gaining its independence from Britain and later on becoming a Republic three years later. Their governing system has advanced despite being such a young, independent nation. They have established their own national, state, and local government. However, they have some flaws when it comes to choose who is representing them.

Long before the declaration of war on poverty by President Lyndon Johnson (1964), poverty has played a central role in American politics and policy. From the launch of the New Deal (1933-35) to the Four Freedoms of 1941by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt; poverty has always shown to be a complex, multifaceted problem that most leaders and policymakers believe can be overcome only through the design of comprehensive set of innovative policies and effective reforms (Kearney & Harris, 2014; Thomson & Snell, 2013; Walker & Day, 2012; Devas, 2012; Ferretti & Molina, 2012). To understand the complexity of the phenomenon of poverty and its impact on the undocumented immigrants it will require an extensive literature review which I intend to
Due to the extremely low wages, lack of food to support families, and the unequal distribution of wealth, it is clear that there is poverty in America. The first and most common cause of poverty within an average american household is the low wages.

Nigeria’s economic prospects were what fueled the passion of most politicians from both the North and South of Nigeria. This meant that when Nigeria finally gained independence these politicians made sure that there was no room for outside interference with how the country’s economy was run. Therefore, to understand the reason for the economical difference between Northern and Southern Nigeria in the fifteen years following independence one would have to examine the financial decisions and events that set Nigeria’s economy on a path that was nothing short of disappointing by the end of
The booming economy is causing the middle class to migrate towards suburbs. The problem with this is that with them moving away from the cities it leaves only the less fortunate people in unkept housing with no money to provide relief. America is turning into a nation of urban slums, desperate rural poverty, and discrimination. The people that will be most affected by this are black immigrants, Hispanic Americans, Native americans, and the uninsured elderly. Since president Eisenhower has been in office, there has been a decrease in poverty but still the bulk of the poverty is in the south.
In their article “The Financial Cost of Doctors Emigrating from sub-Saharan Africa: Human Capital Analysis” by Edward J Mills, et al. shows through a study conducted to test investment lost by doctors educated in sub-Saharan African countries that emigrate to other first world countries, proves that there are countless doctors leaving sub-Saharan African countries to go to first world countries, by bringing in data that shows every sub-Saharan African country has lost millions to billions of dollars from this. In Joseph Sahr Sankoh’s article “Political Corruption In sub-Saharan Africa: A Comparative Analysis, With Particular Reference to Sierra Leone, Ghana and Nigeria” he deconstructs Africa’s deeply rooted corruption with three hypotheses. During his dissertation it is found that corruption is very widespread and is dated back since the country gained its independence.
2.2.1. Algeria: Between Growth, Inequality and Poverty Algeria, like other developing countries, has witnessed socio-economic growth and cultural changes (fig.15). The unreliable governmental assessment has proliferated defective urban environment with informal settlements where poverty is an important threat. However, poverty depends on variant dimensions on national levels that should be understood (IUSSP, 2009). For that reason, it is relevant to define what poverty is in Algeria: what its forms are, why poverty exists and who the poor are.
Nigeria, the African nation as we know it in the twenty-first century, as it came to be in the late twentieth century, is a young nation. The history of Nigeria, however, can be traced back to the prehistoric era, with settlements existing as early as 11,000 BCE. Until the arrival of colonialism in Africa, the idea of the nation did not exist. Rather, communities formed and flourished on the basis of tribes and / or feudalism. A number of independent kingdoms, each rising and falling and existing independently, were forcibly grouped together by the British to facilitate their exit, under the guise of granting Africa Independence, and to create geographical entities comprehensible to Western systems of governance.

Poverty has become an increasingly common issue and is a general worldwide problem. There is a high degree of poverty throughout Ireland. Poverty is when people are lacking their basic needs which they need to survive (Gifford, 2009). There are 698,000 people experiencing poverty in Ireland and 211,000 of whom are children (Foley, 2015). Child poverty in Ireland is a consistent problem and is one of the highest rates in Europe (O'Hagan & Newman, 2014).
