The level of pay and the general material prosperity of American families has been an issue of developing concern in national discussions. Specifically, the progressing welfare open deliberation has centered consideration on the living states of poor families, both in an outright sense and with respect to those of different families. Primarily, government and culture must clearly communicate the serious importance of marriage to decreasing future poverty and other social troubles. Youth at risk of becoming unwed parents deserve information and assistance to prepare them for the task of bearing and nurturing children. Welfare should be changed to inspire rather than punish marriage, as the current system does. Also, by differentiating out results for people in both poor, single-folks families and families accepting welfare, America has the capacity to better concentrate on those people well on the way to be influenced by welfare change. Along the majority of the measurements citizens talk about, poor people, particularly those in single-guardian families, are fundamentally more regrettable off than the non-poor (Manning).

Like the previous example of our class activity, you can gather some information about the family to personally consider whether you think the people portrayed deserve help. In the opening of the book, Andrea Campbell gives us information about the couple’s job status, income, and family size, which allows the reader to make a first opinion on the family’s deservedness. Once this introduction is made, the reader can see the twists and turns that can lead a family into needing government help, which is often the part of the story that gets lost – as most assume those in poverty are there because of their own ambition or actions. The wife gets in an accident, which forces the couple to take an insurance plan from the California government that is designed to keep them in poverty by taking away their income after a set cap is reached (Campbell 2014). The book continues to take the reader through the experience of trying to survive on social insurance and means-tested programs (those where recipients must hold a job or other status to maintain benefits), and ends with three Chapters discussing the difficulties that means-tested programs create for those in poverty. By forcing the reader to, in some way, experience a very average story about surviving in poverty, the book forces the reader

But federal aid programs have not helped the poor become self-sufficient or reduced the poverty levels. Ever since welfare has been created it has weakened the American work ethic and encouraged out-of-wedlock births. That unfortunate “tradition” keeps getting passed down from generation to generation (DeHaven). An abundant amount of families out there truly need assistance. The troublesome reality is that the number of people trying to take whatever they can get outweighs the number that’s just trying to get back up on their

The welfare state could be viewed as an assistant to help lower-income to middle-income families. However, even though the welfare state supplies protection against poverty, and other contingencies, it holds society’s construction as a whole in aiding individuals with elements like the in-kind goods and services, which provide health care, food stamps, and education. Until now, lower class citizens in poverty have habitually been a social problem for our conflicted nation for many decades.

By making improvements to the Welfare System in America has become a way of life that has entrapped so many single and married households across the country. Statistics show that there were 108,592,000 people who are recipients of one or more means of the government benefit programs. The Census Bureau recorded by surveys over 101, 716,000 people who worked full time year around in 2011 which only allowed one member of the family to work year round. The system is meant to help low income families, however; they don’t want to be not allowed to grow by becoming more independent and have opportunities to rise above poverty. The quest to change the welfare system is to ensure the welfare and the rights of children, their parents and

Adair continuously makes the point that the “work first” policy has rather hurt than helped single mothers leave the cycle of poverty. Consequently, this issue has caused families to remain in poverty and struggle even more than they originally have. One single mother shares her story of her constant struggle of raising a family: “I still need help from the state with childcare and food stamps and life is so much harder for us now than it was before… I do not have the money I need to pay my rent and bills, my twins are in an awful daycare about ten hours a day while I work in a job I hate… If we survive it will be despite the welfare reform” (31). This story shows that there are many families whose quality of life has significantly decreased

In this article, the multiple authors go into depth on how the APOE E4 gene mutation may be attained and if nationality may contribute to this risk factor gene. The prevalence of this mutation is thought to occurred from contemporary environmental conditions. This claim is backed up with examples of these harmful contemporary environmental conditions. As the article grows, the nationally factor is explained using a series of charts and data. Within these charts are people listed with their country, age, and percentage of APOE e4 gene. Thus, allowing the data to be tested in order to back up

Seeing how young people create specific styles of reacting to stretch is basic for advancing compelling adapting. This exploration analyzed the forthcoming, intelligent commitment of maternal socialization of adapting and companion anxiety to youth reactions to associate anxiety. A specimen of 144 early young people and their maternal guardians finished polls and semi structured interviews in 2 waves over a one year period. Results uncovered that moms' withdrawal adapting proposals anticipated maladaptive reactions to stretch, especially for young people who got low levels of engagement recommendations, and engagement adapting recommendations ensured adolescents against maladaptive reactions to push. Significantly, these impacts rose just in the connection of uplifted associate anxiety. This examination proposes that maternal socialization of adapting can possibly backing or undermines adolescents' advancement of a compelling collection of reactions to push.

The author in the articles relates the advancement of technologies with the alienation of human being with the real world. The author acknowledge the reason of our alienation from real world as not being because of the dimensional scales but because we have been substituting dimensions for the things that count. The author believes that technology does not alienate us from the world it mediates. The author uses an example of a telescope, a scientific instrument used to observe galaxies, stars, moon, and the universe as deviating humans from experiencing nature by taking risks. Human beings these days tend to be focus more on taking pictures and capturing it as a memory than living in the moment. In this process, they tend to experience, feel nature less than other people would do. The author mentions how children these days do not

Although we were not as well off as we are now, we were still better off than they were. We could afford most of the foods we wanted as well as items not deemed as necessities. I also am not as religious as my great-grandmother. I do not consider myself a Christian. I would love to learn about other religions before I label myself. My family understands this, and they do not pressure me into being a Christian. I still grew up going to a Christian church throughout my childhood. Another difference is that my parents have stayed together throughout my childhood and remain together now. Her father and mother got a divorce, and was not living with them. Like my great-grandmother, I am an African American woman. I live in a happy and loving household. I was discipline the same ways she was. Our family also still enjoys the major holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving. Even though now our family is not in one single state, we still try to see them at least once or twice a year.

“To help couples, who have chosen marriage for themselves, gain greater access to marriage education services, on a voluntary basis, where they can acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to form and sustain a healthy marriage” (“Healthy Marriage Initiative”, 2012). This is the Healthy Marriage Initiatives Mission statement. As part of Welfare reform, President George W. Bush implemented the Healthy Marriage Initiative. It was enacted to address the growing issues low-income families have been facing for decades, including social problems that affect both children and the parent. This paper will address the background, implementation, oversight, cost, and outcomes of the Healthy Marriage Initiative.
