I Believe Poverty Is Caused By The Division Of Social Class.

Poverty is a transmittable disease; it begins with parents and spreads to children and the people around them. It could obliterate a flawless society and affect everyone and everything around it. It is akin to a genetic code that is pre-written and out of human control. Everywhere people look, children can be seen with bones protruding out of their flesh, yet these children are the most hard-working beings alive. Poverty is a global issue that every member of humanity has dealt with at some point in time, and it is more likely that someone will help another in need after being helped themselves.

The first step in the simulation and in life as well was to find a job. Ehrenreich writes, “Finding a job is just a matter of being in the right place at the right time and flexible enough to take whatever is being offered that day” (15). She is most certainly correct. Oftentimes I would spend hours filling in online applications and making phone calls with the young adults without any results. Then one day, if we were lucky, we would get a phone call. These jobs were neither glamorous nor enviable, but they were a requirement to sustain an independent lifestyle.

To be honest this task was rather frustrating. I did the simulation several times but di d not make it through all the task. It was very hard to focus on what I was supposed to be doing. I think this was a great simulation to show people what people with ADHD go through. I don’t know to much about the struggles of ADHD but I understand ADD completely. I have ADD, and sometime it seems like it’s almost imposable to focus. I found way to get around it, and I think that’s what good teachers do. They find out what the students struggle with and find ways to work around it.

The poverty simulation for me was exiting and interesting, but most importantly, it stand as a learning experience that I am willing to carry throughout my journey as a nurse to assist and improve on the care I provide the poor and the needy people. Walking in the shoes of those in poverty during the simulation, I was frustrated because as a twenty-one year old my goals were not probably staying home and take care of my siblings or run around to find help with food or shelter but to be in college with my peers, go out on a date and parties. I was exhausted from going from one place to another just to get help with food, clothes in addition go to school.

Poverty affects over 767 million people in the entire world. In the United States alone, poverty affects more than 42 million people. According to feedingamerica.org, of that 42 million affected, 13 million children and over 5 million seniors live in poverty. Poverty is grouped into two different categories; absolute and relative. Wikipedia.org defines absolute poverty as the absence of enough resources to secure basic life necessities. This includes not having safe drinking water, not having clean bathroom facilities, not being able to get proper healthcare, not having access to education and not having proper shelter. Absolute poverty is also referred to as living in extreme poverty. Relative poverty, according to wikipedia.org, is the condition in which people lack the minimum amount of income needed in order to maintain the average standard of living in the society in which they live. The meaning of poverty varies from country to country and person to person. For example, while some people in the United States would be considered as living below the poverty line, a person from another country may consider that person rich. However, poverty is simply when an individual is unable to meet their basic needs. This includes not being able to clothed, house or feed oneself or one’s family. Poverty is a problem that will not be easily solved. There have been many attempts to try and end poverty, but yet it continues to grow. In a country such as the United States that’s

I enjoy the simulation very much. I found it very educational as it put you in a situation to learn from actions. I felt so achieved when it finally said I won the game.and my office was fully expanded. So at the end I only missed three. One was about how often your password should be changed. I thought it was every thirty days and the answer was quarterly. The other two questions was about the USB and a firewall. I did not think about the patient’s USB containing a virus. As soon as I answered, I realized why my answer was wrong. Most of the answers are fairly obvious and it just requires the health care worker to be aware of what they say and do. I could see how the simulation could transfer to occupational therapy. Some therapist may be

Poverty refers to the state or condition of having little or no money, goods, or means of support. Society often classifies this state as being poor. According to osomething.org 805 million people worldwide do not have enough food to eat, and nearly ½ of the world 's population lives on less than 2.50 dollars a day. Osomething.org states that 1.3 billion live in extreme poverty on less than 1.25 a day, 1 billion children worldwide are living in poverty, and 22,000 children die each day due to poverty. These statistics are rather alarming, and the first step to finding a solution to this problem is determining the root cause. Many would ask how this transpired. The answer to this is also the determining factor of not only what happened but

Poverty is usually caused by one or more of four things, horrible work rates, poor education,

Everyone knows what the word poverty means. It means poor, unable to buy the necessities to survive in today's world. We do not realize how easy it is for a person to fall into poverty: A lost job, a sudden illness, a death in the family or the endless cycle of being born into poverty and not knowing how to overcome it. There are so many children in poverty and a family's structure can effect the outcome. Most of the people who are at the poverty level need some type of help to overcome the obstacles. There are mane issues that deal with poverty and many things that can be done to stop it.

Poverty is caused by many different things. The central causes of poverty in America are stereotyping, separation from social activities, lack of knowledge, employment

Poverty has been an ongoing issue since the birth of this Nation. When one thinks of poverty the last people we think of are the ones closest to home. As children some are told “finish your dinner, there are starving kids in Africa”, but what about the starving children whom are in neighborhoods close to us? Poverty is everywhere, even the places that are thought of as wealthy. Poverty in America; a continuing issue.There are many different definitions of poverty. The United States Census Bureau states that

There seems to be an increase in poverty in the United States and there are so many theories behind why this might be a problem. It seems as if Society as a whole wants to blame this social “condition” on Society itself. I believe that the problem of poverty lies within the actual individuals that are experiencing poverty. There are a few reasons why people experience poverty. They are as follows: One, the liberal welfare programs that were started in the 1960’s, two, individuals lack the characteristic of power and individuality, three, anti-social behavior and the idea that poverty passes from one generation to the next.

One psychologist named Sigmund Freud would say that poverty is explained through the unconscious mind which is scientifically known as psychoanalytic psychology. Poverty can be explained in this perspective by saying that people who do suffer from poverty have an unconscious urge for a way of thinking about a topic. Sigmund Freud would say something like that person struggles with an unconscious thought of them possibly failing in life and be a disappointment. He would find out if that person was unconsciously struggling by having them saying random answers during his test. He even would let

The outcomes of the simulation are not determined by chance or luck. Instead, participants experience consequences that follow from their own actions.

The stereotypic explanation persists that the poor cause their own poverty. One of the problems is the unemployment. Firms these days are constantly searching for well educated, experienced, skilled and intelligent employees. The high unemployment rate is because of the lack of education given to poor people. This is because poor people are not able to afford education and instead, they stay home and feed their families. When given the chance, most of the people living under poverty will do the best they can to earn enough money to support their families. Poverty is also due to high housing costs. These days, the price of houses are getting higher and higher and soon most people won’t be able to afford a place to live in, let alone food to eat or water to drink. There are numerous causes of poverty including lack of individual responsibility, bad government policies, exploitation by people and businesses with a lot of power and influences, etc. Some poor people do not know how to be responsible for their own being and therefore they live on the streets waiting for donations just to get by their day. The government is trying to clear out the people on the streets but they do not do anything to help out the poor people and that is why they remain on the streets. High levels of inequality - the gap between the rich and poor - will lead to problems such as increasing crime and violence. Inequality is usually a
