Today Division 5 had some fantastic conversations about relative poverty and absolute poverty. The class discussed the possible definitions of each and then came up with examples. From our conversations we decided that absolute poverty means struggling for even the basic needs like food, fresh water and shelter. Relative poverty was dependent on a comparison.
