Conclusion ***

Poverty, is a large, alarming problem in Hong Kong society. You may see a billionaire, wasting money all the time. On the contrast, you may see a beggar, make a living with lots of difficulty and tears all day long. Hardly can you believe this insane scene!
This is what we called the disparity between the poor and the rich. Some of them may really became poor just because of his cursed luck, but I am sure this is just the minority. After doing Stage 2, we realized that poverty can be ascribed to three points,'government', ' discrimination' and 'unemployed'. It is not a piece of easy task to uproot the problem of 'poverty', a long time will be needed.
During the data collecting, our group members really experience the lives of the poor. Little did we realize that how deplorable they are ! After the mock calculation of the income of a family that are under the risk of poverty, all we know that they cannot maintain their lives without the help of the poor.
And the questionnaire shows out that Hong Kongers don't really know how to define the word 'poverty'. However, their sympathy to the poor will be appreciated and complimented.
In Stage 1, we have found out a lot of the data about the poor. It is hard to imagine that an urban slum is on the most majestic, brilliant part of Hong Kong, Kowloon Peninsula. Little can we believe that the teenagers are the most risky age groups which are under poverty.
In Stage 3, we have mentioned about a lot of measures to solve the problem of poverty. A lot of ideas have been implementing world-widely. It is a must that the HKGOV should give a try and use more innovative to eliminate poverty. Some policies like minimum wages, have been used fr a period of time in some well-developed countries. Three phrases are the conclusion of Stage 3, 'Protect the interest of the labours', 'Try to help the poor to employed' and 'Provide a better place to let the poor live on'.
A consensus must be reached in order to solve the problem of 'poverty'. It is reasonable to stop all the argument in the society and find the root of the problem. Save the poor in the hot water!
