Living Under Poverty : A Better State Of Children

First, the medical assistant should convert the doctor’s prescription into layman’s terms for Doris. Medication A is two teaspoons by mouth every four hours. Medication B is 2.5 milliliters by mouth three times daily (Fulcher, Fulcher, & Soto, 2012, p. 1b). Doris should be cautious of confusing her medication dosages as that could lead to possible overdose. If Doris is afraid of mixing her medications, the medical assistant should convert to the unit that Doris is more comfortable with. For example, if Doris prefers milliliters, she should take around 9.8 milliliters of medication A. Alternatively, medication B could be taken at .5 teaspoons (Fulcher, Fulcher, & Soto, 2012, p. 131). Patients taking multiple medications should have a medication

You see, I am a mother of three, and recently one of my kids was sent back home. Since families and their children have no contact with each other during the time they attend school, I had no idea of the horrors that it this institution - that is, until she spoke to me. Even if she is too young or too unheeding to truly understand what she and others went through, I’m not. For one, they were completely isolated, not only from their families and communities but also from their customs, culture, traditions, faith. The cultural genocide inherent in this institution in unreal – from its very creation to its educational system. Kids are forbidden to speak their native language in any circumstance, the language they have been immersed in and have been speaking their entire lives; a part of themselves even. Or to practice any of their spiritual traditions, which are an important part of their culture and beliefs and identity, while being forced to convert into Christianity, and being exposed to denigration of their religious practices. As well as very poorly educated, as lessons are only taught for half a day, are taught in English which is a language the vast majority of the children don’t speak, not to mention that the teachers are usually unfit to teach these children as they don’t adapt their materials so that the students can fully understand it. Not only this, but also the rest of the time was spent with vocational training, except the only training they really got was on how to run a school, not doing work that could help them in the future if they did in fact decide to become assimilated into the population like the government wishes. Although I’m not sure the “civilized society” offers much better conditions than our communities, if the schools are any indication of it. Even basic necessities such as clothing are

Poverty is everywhere in this world especially in education. Poverty in education could come from the location of the school, the child’s home life, how the students feel about school and in many other ways. Poverty comes in all shapes and forms, “An appalling number of American Children live in poverty. According to the National Center for Children in Poverty, 14.7 million, or nearly 20 percent of children under age 18, live below the poverty line” (When Poverty…). The kids/students bring those debilitating effect with them to school every day.

The issue of children living in poverty is not simply an “American problem”, rather it is of international importance, specifically related to how poverty affects a child’s brain development and quality of life. This paper will state its claim by providing data about worldwide poverty rates for children, provide and interpret data proving the relationship between poverty and brain development, and conclude with a story of a real family experiencing the effects of poverty as a result of war.

Most people from other countries think about the States as being the land of the “American Dream”. Despite being home of the “American dream”, poverty has become one of Americas most major leading problems. Poverty affects multiple groups of people throughout the United States. Child poverty specifically has grown vastly and has fostered major issues such as educational issues, behavioral problems, and generational poverty. Through the pursuit of knowledge, developing critical thinking skills among youth, creating a relatable educational experience for student, and giving students the tools to brake generational disparities, childhood poverty can be reduced.

My personal code of chivalry is important, because it motivates me to be a better person every day. The main points in my personal code of chivalry are courtesy, valor, loyalty, and honor. Following this personal code of chivalry only helps me improve myself as a person and live up to my self-expectations. Setting this code allows me to have a zest for life and guides me towards meaningful goals. By setting these standards I also improve other people’s opinion of myself and create new friendships everywhere I go.

In the wise words of the philosopher Immanuel Kant, “a society that is not willing to demand a life of somebody who has taken somebody else’s life is simply immoral.” When considering the issue of capital punishment, many arguments are made in favor of proponents and abolitionists. There are utilitarian arguments, retributive arguments, and egalitarian arguments.

That’s 15.5 million impoverished kids in the U.S.” (Child poverty in the U.S., 2016).  The United states government spends a fraction of what other countries do on the national budget for kids. The only countries with worse child poverty rates than the U.S. are Greece, Mexico, Israel, and Turkey (2016).  Results include millions of children in poverty and unable to reach their full potential.  Poverty is in every country, every state, and in every city and the effects poverty has on our future generations is astounding.  Poverty is the state of being extremely poor and it has a devastating effect on students of any age and ethnicity, physically, socially, and mentally; poverty also sets students apart in opportunity, resources, and academic

Here in America every single child is sent to school starting at the age of five years old for kindergarten, and sometimes as early as two years old for pre-school and continue on to get an education late into their twenties, some even going on to take classes the rest of their lives. Education in America is something that is readily available and even is required by law, but taken for granted by many children. On flip side third world countries often do not have schools or public education mandated by government, and most times it is not even available when most children yearn for it. Education is taken for granted in America, and in third world countries where education is almost completely absent something can be learned from their

The total rate of poverty in the United States of America in 2014, according the U.S. Census Bureau, was fourteen point eight percent or forty-six point seven million people. For the aforementioned report poverty was defined as being below the federal poverty line (DeNavas-Walt & Proctor, 2015). The National Center for Children in Poverty, also using 2014 data, state that children under the age of eighteen represent twenty-three percent of the population while comprising thirty-two percent of individuals in poverty. Furthermore, the same report put the population of children under three years of age at eleven million (Jiang, Ekano,& Skinner, 2016). This number, and the implications that surround it, are mind boggling. Children born into low-income families face more challenges throughout their lives than children that are born into families with higher incomes. These challenges typically lead to poorer outcomes thoughtout the life span. The challenges, as well as the poor outcomes they wrought, are particularly evident in education.

Children born in poverty grow with many restrictions and obstacles; limits are set when it comes to education and many other needs. Kids born privileged will be able to attend a good schooling system and most likely be on the road to a successful future. This problem has been issued but so far there has been little success of repair.

According to an online source, data taken in 2015 showed that 47% of the people living in extreme poverty are 18 years old or younger. (UNICEF.org) Children living in poverty are exposed to tough living conditions and have rough lives. They aren't able to meet their basic requirements for having a healthy life.

“Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world.”- Nelson Mandela. The percentage of people attending school is a lot higher than some countries. Some countries are have below 20% of their children going to school. Every country has different laws with education and different customs with it.

There are many countries where culture or religion can sometimes deny certain peoples ' right to have an education, restricting them from going to school to learn. Those countries don’t see the benefits people can get from learning new languages, or learning their own history. One of these countries that do such restrictions of education is Pakistan.

Throughout the broad and varying research on global education in the Middle East, it is apparent that these two variables have a very important relationship that impacts many lives. Education plays a huge role in the dynamics of every country and has the ability to increase diverse perspectives and critical thinking skills, allowing societies to progress in many aspects. Analyzing and critiquing a broad array of scholarly articles has provided a solid foundation to help formulate a personal perspective on this matter and contemplate possible solutions for addressing this global phenomenon. The analysis of the articles helped expose the deep rooted importance that privilege and marginalization hold on the development of an individual’s ability to generate a perspective on global education.
