These programs may include Welfare, food stamps (SNAP), and government housing projects. According to the authors, the results showed from the analysis of how many families are on food stamps is, in 2011 over 1.5 million households with about 3 million children were surviving on less than $2.00 a day, including a family member in the work force (Edin, Shaefer, 2016). It is amazing that these families are living on so little when on when many people spend more than that before they go to school, or work. For example, grabbing a quick breakfast before work can cost almost $7.00. The authors noted that they researched about a total of 18 families, but only 8 total are featured in the book.

It is often a misconception these people take advantage of the public system to receive benefits and welfare that they do not need. While it is true that there many be some people who do not need these benefits and still take advantage of them, there are also many families, who do in fact need the help of public assistance, and do not use it. Many families, who qualify for public assistance such as food stamps, do not receive them. A startling two-thirds of people who qualify for public assistance, such as food stamps, do not use these benefits . One reason for this may be that these families do not truly feel they are as impoverished as they really are. Another reason could be the possibility that these families do not know they will qualify for these programs .

There were a couple information sessions to reach out to Montgomery county residents to inform, and consult them on the programs and budgets of the County’s public school and the college. Montgomery County Council Education Committee Chair, Craig Rice, Montgomery County Public Schools Superintendent, Jack Smith, and Montgomery College President DeRionne Pollard graced the information session.

Council member Rice gave a speech outlining the budget priorities that were established by the Board of Education.

Frequent crimes brought to the Suffolk County Court were breaking church law, such as, being found “guilty of the profanation of ye Lord’s day” or “absenting themselves from publique worship of god on the Sabbath dayes”. Also, things such as cursing, drinking, or gathering in groups outside of the church were brought to court as crimes. Alice Thomas was found guilty of “secret and unseasonable Entertainment in her house to Lewd Lascivious & notorious persons of both sexes, giving them the opportunity to commit carnal wickedness”. There were also a few cases that involved violence of some type to a spouse or another person. The preferred method of punishment seemed to be corporal punishment by lashing, “to bee whipt with fifteen Stripes”.

Wake county, where I am from, in 2015 has a poverty rate of 11.7 percent. It is a lower rate than expected because I knew North Carolina had higher poverty rates than the U.S, but after research it makes sense why. Wake county has multiple populated cities with many job opportunities; therefore, allowing greater income compared to other counties. Through 1997 to 2015, Wake county had about a $10,000 to $20,000 higher median household income than the North Carolina median. Wake county is also a higher concentrated area that creates resources and accesses to those resources. Better opportunities with better pay and more resources readily available may contribute to a lower poverty rate in Wake county than others.

The loud hum of a plane gliding over the sky, the cracks and fissures in the roads, and the unavoidable force of urbanization takes tool in Ashburn. As more businesses and industries spotted this area as a place to base their companies, the population and overall environment is rapidly changing. There is no surprise that Ashburn is a great place to live, but many things about it can be improved.
