For me, it depends on the people who are living in poverty. It all starts with the people. Some of them are too lazy to find a job a work for a living. They all have excuses that "They don't have the resources" , "We can afford to go to school", etc. But there are so many ways to solve those problem. It doesn't matter what job it is, construction worker, garbage man, janitor, etc. As long as you are doing the job right and earning money from it, it's a decent job. All they do is complain about being poor but they're the ones who are putting themselves there because of their laziness and negative thinking.

One thing you can do is just not thinking about the negative things that is happening around you and think differently. Everything has a brighter side of things. Just stop complaining every single thing that is happening to you. Complaining and blaming other people because of your doing is a bad habit. Just keep being positive. Everything will be alright in the end and just keep doing what you are doing. Just do it right and keep positive attitude in everything.

No, I don't think men and woman are treated equally. Sometimes one of the parties isn't treated fairly. I don't know why this type of things still happens in our society but I think, every person is treated equally. No matter what they are. Men, women, gay, straight, or whatever. Everybody should be treated equally.

In my opinion, drinking is not that bad for your health. As long as you are moderating the drinking of your alcohol. Just like you, I also drink after a long stressful week of work. I often drink along with my high school friends. It's great way to release some tension, release some stress, and have a great time catching up with my friends. My father is also a drinker. But the problem with his drinking is it's too much. I think my father is already an alcoholic. He drinks in the morning until the evening before he sleeps. He also doesn't eat food that much. He only eats maybe a cup or 2 of rice and whatever my mom cooks for him. So I think he's not a very healthy person. Whenever we try to tell him to stop drinking that much alcohol, he just ignores it and keeps on drinking. So there's no stopping him.  So for me, as long as you are moderating your drinking of alcoholic beverages, it wouldn't have a big negative effect in your body. Just don't overdue it. Maybe once a week is enough.
