The Creation Of Poverty Point

Some problems associated with living in a neighborhood with a high percentage of the population living in poverty include increased crime rates, poor education, health problems and psychological distress. The concentration of people in high poverty neighborhoods magnifies the problems faced by the poor. This is because it leads to the concentration of the ills associated with poverty. Children in these neighborhood do not only lack basic needs but are also exposed to an hostile environment that holds numerous temptations and does not provide positive motivation (McConville & Ong, 2003). In addition, because schools are distributed geographically, children from high poverty neighborhoods attend the same schools and this result in low performance. This concentration also intensify the shift of the middle and higher income families away from these neighborhoods thus creating a gap between social needs and the financial base necessary to address these issues. The concentration of poverty is important because it has an impact on the distribution of income which might undermines the social fabric and may restrict opportunities for others (Jargowsky, 2003).

Individuals struggling to keep adequate shelter. Some may face challenges of seeking medical attention. Others have no access to jobs or schools. Some parents fail daily in providing food and water for their children. These are just a few sentences that describe poverty. If we closed our eyes and envisioned poverty, we think of children in the second-largest continent, Africa, standing around with no clothes or shoes on. We think of the kids looking mal-nutritious or with other sicknesses and flies flying around their faces but they are too weak to brush them away. We think of people with no education, no skills, or no ideas. These statements are far from facts. I will take you through the ongoing issue of poverty from a macro-level and show you how it can affect case management. Then I will take you through the case management process of trying to end poverty.

This article was talking about the uniqueness of the 11th Unnamed Cave and it tries to theorized on how the site was used. The article did a good job of explaining the why there are so many mud balls on the ceilings. The authors tries to show both supporting and disproving that the mud balls were there is because they were used to hunt bats. They also use radio carbon dating to try to get close to the dates that the sites were occupied. The articles showed many hypothesize and they were able to make claims to help them prove their points base of off the evidence that was found at the cites. While there were some good parts of the article there were some that I was questioning. Like how did they see some of the images from the petroglyph because I tried looking it from multiple angle and I was not able to see the images that they were talking about. Also, the there were a conflict between the radio carbon dating dates and the artifacts that was found dates. For example, the carbon dating material said that the time that the cave was used is around the Mississippian period. However, some of the artifacts that was found indicate that there were traces of Early to Middle Woodland people are there. Human behaviors varies and it is very hard to pin-point what something

with the Clovis first theory. However the lecturer enumerates the drawbacks of this theory with the help of archeological

Poverty is “the state or condition of having little or no money, goods, or means of support; condition of being poor” (Dictionary.com, 2017). Based off this definition poverty is a condition that can cause a cascade of cause and effect actions that is detrimental to families and individuals both physically and mentally. Haan, Kaplan, & Camacho (2017) completed a study on the correlation between social and economic status and health in adults in Oakland, CA. They found that the lower the socioeconomic class the higher incidents of diseases and deaths related to chronic diseases (p.1161-1162). Just being without money or little money was not the only indication of health indication, a person living in an area with higher poverty issues

Filmmakers love an industry exposé: Gasland; Super Size Me; Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room; Inside Job; Capitalism: A Love Story. The list of “independent” filmmakers who attack a particular industry — or sometimes all industries — is a long one. But (I ask, exposé-like) are they truly “independent”? They certainly are not ideologically independent. There is a standard point of view for the serious documentarian with a standard list of allowable exposées: capitalism (with bonus points for oil, gas, tobacco, fast food, and banks); the military industrial complex; and anybody who funds (the Koch brothers) or distributes (Fox News) a message which does not hew to the correct ideological line.

We, fortunately, have the opportunity and blessing to attend college and to improve our knowledge. This gives us an advantage that unfortunately, poverty takes away from many young adults. Regrettably millions of people throughout the world lives in poverty and struggles to support themselves and their families. However, there is hope that these numbers can go down and people can rise out of poverty. This 'no poverty' goal can see quite daunting considering the massive amount of people. In spite of this unnerving circumstance the best approach should be to provide support so that children and young adults have the opportunity to improve their education and essentially rise out of poverty.

What does poverty mean to a child orphaned by cancer or abandoned by his father? It means he has to learn how to dream again.

1. Since 2005, Bosnian-American engineer Semir Osmanagic has been promoting the so-called “Bosnian Pyramids,” found near the town of Visoko as being the 12,000 year old remains of a lost civilization. These claims have been overwhelmingly rejected by mainstream archaeologists. Assess the evidence provided by the supporters of the “Bosnian pyramids,” using such critical thinking tools as a convergence of evidence and Occam’s razor. Why might this site provide a more attractive history for the modern citizens of Bosnia-Herzegovina than such sites as Mostar’s Sari Most (Old Bridge)?

As it is mentioned before, lack of evidence enters us into the realm of speculation in which all of the above theories can be partially true. Here, I do not want to support or refute any of these hypotheses but rather, I want to remind one important point; there is no necessity to find the origin of something in a glorious ancient past. For instance, when you speak with Zoroastrian villagers they confess that many of their smaller local or garden-type shrines have developed from simple one room buildings, which were used by farmers as temporary

Imagine that becoming wealthy were simply a matter of choice. Imagine that you could merely choose to be wealthy and it would happen. Well, there's no need to imagine it. This is reality. You have to choose to be wealthy. The simple fact is that many people choose poverty over wealth. Too be clear, the choice is not a deliberate or conscious one but rather it's a subconscious decision to be poor rather than wealthy. It is decision that is made and reinforced every day as they make choices that lead them further into poverty and farther away from wealth. Many people have simply resigned themselves to a life of poverty and have gotten to the place where they simply do not believe that life could be different.

“Why don’t some people believe what archaeologists tell them about their pasts? Many will not accept that the pasts that archaeologists construct for them are correct, how matter how well reasoned the archaeologist or how solid the evidence… How should archaeologists response when people don’t believe them?” This except from Zimmerman’s (2008) paper Dealing with the Fringe essentially frames this week’s theme: discussing the lure of pseudoscientific interpretations of archaeological data, and de-constructing why these explanations are so credible to a large segment of the population.

The federal government runs over 80 government antipoverty programs coming in with an earning of over 720 billion a year for the different assistant programs, yet there are still 46 million americans in this country living in poverty, with less and less of a chance towards economic mobility. Most of these programs prevent extreme deprivation, but ironically most of the programs are means-tested taking away aid as you make or earn more money, so instead of the government lifting their people out of poverty their keeping them in it. For example, let’s say you're a single-mother raising one child, making the minimum wage, you're on food stamps, medicaid, and under Housing assistance, statistically if you were to get a job that earned you $3 more

There are three main arguments believed to be the explanations for the existence and persistence of poverty. The first account is the Dependency-Based Explanation that puts the blame of poverty to the individual or to their cultural background. The Exclusion-Based Explanation and Structural-Based Explanation are the next two which establishes the society that condemns people to poverty.
