Summary Introduction

Introduction

Factors that would help study global wealth and poverty include life expectancy, average income, and access to resources. Methods would include looking at different treatment by justice departments on the basis of income. Most films and advertising portray everyday life in low- and middle-income countries as simpler and more authentic, but downplay or ignore struggles and injustices that also occur. These films often cast a very blind eye to the institutional barriers that keep people in cycles of poverty and need.
