Task: Trapped in the vicious cycle
Many people in the Global South are unable to escape poverty through their own efforts. They are trapped in a cycle of poverty.
This cycle is also known as generational poverty, meaning that at least two generations of a family are living below the
poverty line. The main reason for this is a lack of capital formation or wealth building that becomes generational.
1. Look at the image and describe the relationships. Check here whether you can assign the elements of the cycle.
2. Interpret the vicious cycle of poverty. Leave an audio for your teacher here.
"It is possible to break out of this vicious cycle, but only with the help of external factors." Discuss the statement with a partner and think of possible external factors which could break the cycle of poverty.
In teams make your own suggestion for a vicious cycle in which you place illiteracy, gender inequality or malnutrition in the center.
Share your ideas in class.
Leave your vicious cycle in the student folder.
