1.     What’s the function of poverty?

Poverty is inevitable in the capitalist system.
When someone becomes rich, someone is deprived of the money. Of course, it is a correct expression to pay the price rather than being deprived of the free competition society.
But in Marx's view, it seems that capitalism's desire to continue becoming richer has been taken away from poor workers. I see poverty in this sense in modern society. There is a saying in Korea. "Poverty produces poverty." The next generation of the lower right is also the lower right. Poverty is viewed as an imbalance in society from this point of view. I think the function of poverty in this view is the anger of the workers. I think that it is pragmatic function of poverty that dissatisfaction with possessors is accumulated and eventually revolutionary.

2.    Should Korean government do more to reduce poverty and promote equality?

Very well, of course, the Korean government should make more efforts.
I think that the poverty of the above-mentioned conflict theory is a story that goes through the early modern society.
But contemporary society, unlike the early modern era, has become very democratic and there has been much fairness between workers and capitalists. But there is still a difference between capitalists and workers. The state must strive to create a fair and just society. However, if you take too much of a worker's hand, good will capitalists can suffer. I know Hyundai Motor Labor Union is an example.
Therefore, the state not only guarantees workers' rights, but also thinks that poverty should endeavor to support many educational supports in order to cut off the custom that leads to the offspring.
