Issue Of Single Mothers

In chapter 20 of Nazisim volume 2 it discusses Women, The Family, and Population Policy. There are three different sources that talk about race, and how women, along with the Nazis, were heavily involved in creating the improved German bloodline. Also, anyone that was not a pure German was to be exterminated, because they did not follow the Nazi ideals. The idea of race is a loose term because the Germans wanted to keep their bloodline pure, and did not want anyone with any differences such as race, mental or physical defects coming to ruin it. So race was not the only factor towards Nazi ideals, but a big one.

In the U.S., families headed by just a single mothers represent the largest amount of poor families. Today, women receive 77 cents on the dollar when compared to men with the same skills and experience (Macionis 2013:56). How could one expect a woman or a single mother to support themselves making roughly three-quarters of the pay of men with the same capabilities and skill? Women are also less likely to be hired for a job when compared to a man and are less likely to go to college. With setbacks like these, it is hard for women not to be poor. Women are more likely to be poor than men, but single mothers face the highest probability of becoming poor. Like women, minorities also face a lack of opportunity and

As a person who has now lived in San Diego for over 22 years and a Latino, it is impossible not to see the medley of direct influences of Hispanic culture in this border town. Because Hispanic people heavily populate the city and it’s proximity to Mexico, representations of this thriving culture can be found in the city’s art, food, religion, architecture, economy, and politics. To get a better understanding of this, we must start at the beginning.

Family structure is a critical factor for a progressive society. If gender gap must be reduced significantly in New Mexico, the size of single mother families must be reduced. This has the added advantage of reducing poverty and allowing more women to participate effectively in the labor force. Outreach programs should be broadened to identify young single mothers at the grassroots level and not to single them out for social stigmatization but to support them develop skills that will empower them. In addition, girls should be engaged through various programs to catch them young. These approaches will help to define the problem of single mothers as economic rather than a moral one. Thus, it becomes easier to leverage public support by the stakeholders

Edin and Lein wanted to discover the surviving strategies of single mothers who are on welfare or work on a low-waged job. They argue “neither welfare nor low wage work gives single mothers enough income to meet their families’ expenses” (253). To find out the set of survival strategies of single mothers to make ends meet Edin and Lein interviewed 379 low income single mothers. They chose their interviewees from different cities, different aged group, and different ethnic background. Most mothers who are on welfare wanted to find a job and be out of the welfare but the primary problem that single mothers face was that “family economics”. With the minimum wage income it was impossible for the single mothers to bring the ends meet. Neither working nor being on welfare was enough to survive therefore mothers who are on welfare supported their budget by generating substantial supplementary income. Edin and Lein states that “welfare recipients generated extra income by working at side jobs, obtaining cash from network members, community groups and local charities”. They also get cash help from the family members, child’s fathers, and from a boyfriend. Because they were afraid to lose welfare benefits they did not tell anyone about the extra income they have. To survive they needed both the welfare benefits and the extra income. It was very difficult to establish a trust with the interviewees in the beginning because they were afraid if they talk about it they might lose the

Single homeless mothers typically happen due to recent economic declines resulting in home foreclosures. Studies have reported in Southern Nevada that homeless mothers and their children have a tendency to not get discovered by society, called the “hidden homeless”. These single homeless mothers and their kids do not live on the street, where their situation is public and visible, but one can discover single mothers and their kids living in overcrowded place. Policies to end homelessness must incorporate jobs that pay livable wages. Although homeless mothers who manage to find employment may be forced to leave their job when they announce their pregnancy. Which many individuals in Southern Nevada have a falsehood judgement that women chose homelessness, as you can see is not true because single mothers make the struggling effort to fight back homelessness, although given the low minimum wages and gender discrimination. Single homeless mothers still attempt to provide their children with some sort of shelter, despite the fact that of living in a house which people commonly would not experience

There are evidently various perspectives pertaining to single mothers and low-income households that shape the mentality and perception of society as a whole, for instance, the government, media, advocacy groups, etc. The government possesses a very neoliberal view regarding this subject because of the current capitalist economic system that emphasizes the ideology of the individual and their personal responsibility and freedom. This is what constitutes the idea that welfare and all types of social assistance is bad, as it creates lazy people that are stripped of their personal freedom to participate in the workforce. Power proposes in his article,

"Motherhood is a great honor and privilege, yet it is also synonymous with servant hood. Every day women are called upon to selflessly meet the needs of their families. Whether they are awake at night nursing a baby, spending their time and money on less-than-grateful teenagers, or preparing meals, moms continuously put others before themselves and enjoy doing their jobs as mothers." (Stanley) . According to Betty Rollin 's essay, "Motherhood: Who Needs It?", Rollin argues that mothering, preconceived as a biological necessity, is in fact, a psychological desire. Rollin quotes psychiatrist Dr. Richard Rabkin: "Women don 't need to be mothers any more than they need spaghetti... But if you 're in a world where everyone is eating spaghetti, thinking they need it and want it, you will think so too." (Rollin 102) Although one 's society may have the power to influence his or her eating habits, a mothers desire to have children is an entirely different issue. Many women often want to have children and go through motherhood because of social pressure, to please their spouse, and to be "happy".

Especially in today’s society, it’s disturbingly common for a child to have to grow up in a single parent household, letting the consequences of this scenario internally destroy the child like a virus. The effects are usually the same, but the frequency of the effects shouldn’t deter the severity. Another misconstrued ideal about single parent households, is whether or not the “statistics” and the “studies” taken on these families is enough to summarize the general population. They aren’t. The same goes for the causes, but on a much more significant scale. The causes and effects of single parent households implied by the studies and statistics are all true, but there’s a much bigger story that can’t be accurately measured or recorded. What the numbers show, are what represent the average. The non-hispanic White race represents the average race, low class to poverty level, and women to gender. But, as can be seconded by most struggling families in this situation, “average” doesn’t describe “real.” There are some things that can’t be taken into account, and those are the things that affect the child the most.

This table demonstrates there are less married households than the national average with the deficit being 10.1 percent. It also shows a significant increase in households without fathers compared to the national average. This demonstrates there are many more single mothers raising children on one income than nationally. Shelby County also has more of its population living alone than the nation.

The problem of ADHD is mainly known in the developed world. In other countries, especially in developing countries, no due attention has been given to ADHD. Thus, there is no enough data available how other countries deal with ADHD. However, when it comes, mental illness cultural attitudes and practices differs from culture to culture. For instance, in Korea, “Parents and teachers tend to focus more on children’s academic achievement and take children’s distractive behaviors as a negative reflection on themselves and their authority. (Moon, 2012. P. 8). So, coming from a different country myself, I see how the culture views mental illness differently. I am sure that national economy, literacy level, and social culture influences how people

Five years ago, I was a corporate trainer with plans to continue to my career in that area for the foreseeable future. I could not have envisioned the path that I am on back today in those days and my only goals were to be the best trainer I could be and perhaps move into training management. That all changed for me when I received a less-than-stellar mid-year review for reasons that felt very arbitrary and petty to me and still do today. That review changed my focus in almost a single instant. I suddenly knew I needed to leave training behind after eight years in the field. All of this set me on a path toward a communication degree and a new career.

During the years, single parent families have become a more common thing. This is starting to become a problem, because family dynamics can really influence a child’s life. According to studies it affects not only the child but the parents too.

Australian society face solidarity and Division: Sole Parent Families are living on the edge of poverty, with predictions of a 65% increase of sole parent families by 2036, Why are so many Australian sole parent families living so close to or below the calculated poverty line?

As this crisis of single parent household continues children that are place within BBBSA program are benefited because they receive social support that is able to help them understand gender roles and perform better in school. Amato says that, children in single parent homes are having to deal with the actual effects [single parent households] because they will get less financial support, affection, information, direction, observation, and less role modeling from an adult (Hippmann-West, 2001, p. 18). This statement by Amato supports the idea by many religious groups in America that believe that children are better off with two adults in the home. This statement also outlines some of the deficiencies these children are more probable to have which makes a case for the need of a complete solution. In connection with this idea of children receiving less support, Takako explains (2002) that “Generally speaking, a child grows up taking the parent of the same sex as a model.[For a single parent child], [one of the] model[s] is not present; and such children may have difficulty in adopting the attitudes and behavior patterns of their respective sex” ( pg 4). In other words the earlier a child loses an example the more likely they are to have gender gaps and this may create problem in their interpersonal life later on. When these children become parents, the habitual interaction styles they have used in their interaction with other people extend to their children. In order to
