The Effects Of Poverty On The Brain

The writer started the article straightforward with numbers and statistics. Which would have a very good impression the minute you start reading it because you would know that it is projecting claims backed with evidence. She added a rhetorical question at the beginning such as, who's right, the mom trying to prevent her children or the dad who embrace it? to then start showing the answer with a neutral perspective and supported the claims with evidence and reasoning.

2b) The authors provided the reader a lot of information on the topic. Each topic was very well explored. A lot of different information on different but similar studies. The authors seemed very knowledgeable on the topic. This article lacked a few things. A clear research question and a hypothesis. The paragraphs were not clear and consist, I felt that I had to dig to get certain information. The paper was very wordy, which made me have a hard time understanding the substance.

The main purpose of most opinion articles is to persuade the audience that the way of thinking of the author is the most correct. Many rhetorical devices can be used to seduce the audience into believing one side over the other. For instance, writers sometimes provide shocking facts which excite and even anger the audience. There are many issues in our society that when mentioned make us want immediate action. An example of this is children. Nicholas Kristof, a well-endowed rhetorician, noticed something going awry with our children, thus, triggering his push for change and his want to gather support. Kristof is the author of the December 7th, 2012 New York Times article entitled “Profiting From a Child’s Illiteracy.” In the article, Kristof

Something that got my attention that Brain Mueller said during the Thrive Family Business Conference was how prominent poverty is in our community. His view of poverty is that God never intended for it, but it is an effect of our rebellion from God through sin. I have never thought of poverty in the sense of sin. I grew up in a very privileged suburb in Colorado and only dealt with poverty when I would go to Downtown Denver. I am surrounded or effected by poverty a lot more since attending Grand Canyon University. Having this culture shock has taught me to appreciate what I have and my opportunities. God has blessed me a lot in my life with a great family, house, and life. I have amazing parents who have taught me to do well for myself, the

I do not believe the article can be improved upon. It has statistics and studies proving the point it was trying to make. It also does not make fake or biased claims and has a very precise assessment.

The New York Times writer did not use complex words that are unique to a special line of work like the other writer. The writing meant for experts did not have many words that were explained. For example, in the sentence “With the currently available evidence, the CDC has recently concluded that Zika virus infection in pregnancy is cause of microcephaly.” the writer is under the assumption that the readers know what microcephaly is. When reading about the Zika virus in the New York Times the writer is playing to the readers emotions or imagination. This is displayed in sentences like “It was a mystifying, terrifying illness.” In comparison the piece written for specialists in the field of medicine is factual and the writer doesn’t try to make the reader understand their

This again is a website so it is not as credible as a data base. It is written by a magazine, so it was meant to entertain, not inform. However, it was written recently, by a well-known magazine, and it has an author. It seems to be well written by a notable author. The article relies on facts, even though it is written imaginatively.

The article was quite easy to interpret correctly, and the language was much simpler to understand. This site was not biased from any point, as its purpose was to inform rather than to persuade

At certain points in the article, he alludes to ideas of things that could happen and even outright makes claims of our future if we were allowed to genetically alter people publicly. His claims are certainly possibilities, but he presents them as being the only factual outcome there could possibly be. He could have used statistics on genetic birth defects, the history of eugenics, the availability of such procedures, but fails to have anything even remotely similar. He had ample opportunity to support his argument with actual statistics, but he simply fails to do so. Despite being a fairly lengthy article, the entire thing was backed up by nothing more than opinion and conjecture.

How the media portrays those living in poverty initiated many new chapters in scholarly research. Very few, however, address the media’s depiction of the poor during times of disaster (natural or manmade). The issue of poverty is mostly understood through the frames in which the media presents it. As the media continues to use episodic frames (individual causes) over thematic frames that seek to address poverty in its entirety (Iyengar, 1990), the frames deliver largely inaccurate and stereotypical interpretations of those in poverty. Episodic frames often ignore the larger structural factors, such as unemployment, (Kendall, 2011) thus creating a fractured image of poverty and those who live within

Growing up in poverty has a significant effect on the brain. While poverty affects many aspects of the brain processing, spending patterns are impacted which affects quality of life. Occasionally, those in poverty make it out. Despite gaining a higher socioeconomic class, quality of life can still be influenced by the impact of poverty. This is because those who grew up in poverty continue their impulsive spending habits when they move into the middle-class because poverty leaves an enduring impression on the human brain.

Most articles are backed up with factual evidence, yet this article seems to prove otherwise. The author only gave subtopics with one example, and then referenced other websites about a totally different topic. Articles that talk about certain subjects that people need to a have the factual evidence for, so that they can know what the real issues and concerns are, are not going to find it on this article. This author struggled with arguments to his opinions. His persuasion would not work due to the fact that his data was not known. To persuade a person into believing something, they have to have the evidence that shows how that certain thing could possibly be true. It does have opinions, but most of the opinions given are back up by

My view of this article is that it is describing research done on how being poor affects the brain. Sadly though this would refute my point. The reason is because I believe if you're poor you have a reason to study and to try your best to get out of poverty. Which to do this you would need to do really good in school to be able to get a good education to get a decent job. But it's the other way around from what this article says. If you're barely not in poverty you do better because you want to stay out of

I have connected this book to the poverty of the world today. I have connected this to my book because of his history living in Ireland and living in poverty. And also to when Frank first started teaching at the vocational high school and he didn't have the money pay his bills so his heat got turned off. Also when Frank goes back to Ireland to visit his mother, he has to go back and see her still living with her landlord, where it was one of the most common area with poverty, as Frank described it. Back then it was common to live with your landlord when you had to rent. You did the chores and whatever they wanted you to do for them. Basically became a housewife or a maid for the gentlemen you were renting for.

In the United States and in countries all over the world, poverty has extreme impacts on a
