He argues that better nutrition increases resistance to infection and increases the survival chances of those who did get infected. However this has been challenged as females usually have a lower intake of food compared to men, and yet they live longer than men. The second reason for the decrease in the death rate is the healthcare the country now has improved massively. In 1900, many people would die due to illnesses that we wouldn’t see as a problem anymore such as the flu. There weren’t antibiotics and other ways to help cure these illnesses, and the ways they did have weren’t effective enough to stop people dying.
This means that, as you get older or get ill, you will have to stop working therefore not earn any money and slip into poverty. He also found that poverty is not a result of being lazy. Some people do work very hard but earn little money and it is not their fault. Rowntree also discovered that the main percentage of people living in poverty was because of a large family. This means that people are not getting enough money to help buy food and decent homes for their families.
Those employers work overtime but did not get the pay that they deserve. Instead, employers who came late to work will not be tolerated. This has caused many employers to get stressed out, leading to suicide attempts. The reason may be because the labor costs in foreign countries are cheap compared to United States. However, I think it is wrong to take advantage of those employers’ lives by not providing those employers fairly.

On the other hand, some would disagree and argue that the cause of homelessness is because the economy is bad. Every time the economy goes south, the cost of living remains the same or goes up. For example, when the economy is bad, a large number of people always lose their jobs. With job loss, there is always the threat of becoming homeless if they cannot find another job
Single parent families have always had it harder than regular unbroken families. They don’t have the advantage of a better income or lifestyle, more opportunities, and the emotional and psychological comfort and stability normal, two parent families have. In fact, the damage that can be done to a child of a single parent family can be very serious and have a long-term effect on the child. It can lead to downfalls for the child, or it can be the very opposite. Either way, the psychological effects can be different in single parent families than in two parent families.
However, after doing a little research about what causes homelessness in America, my opinion has somewhat changed. I still believe that anyone can work hard enough and if have the right priorities in their life they can become successful, for example in the movie starring Will Smith- “The Pursuit of Happiness.” However my opinion has changed somewhat because of the fact that some homeless people can not control living with no home. Causes of being homeless could be because of a natural disaster (hurricane, floods, earthquakes, etc.) that has destroyed a persons home or workplace. Another big cause of homelessness is people not having health care.
Thus, children growing up in these households are possibly led to believe that survival is dependent on being aggressive; also, they identify with these violent parental roles models having limited access to positive adults due to social isolation. This is not a causal relationship, but an association, which could be exacerbated by additional factors such as law enforcement being more punitive with lower socioeconomic class youth. This in turn could perpetuate a cycle of delinquency due to poorer families having less access to protective resources in the way of private clinics; instead, the charged youth is more likely to be institutionalized, thereby being exposed to behavior that is more antisocial. On the other hand, children from more privileged backgrounds may never face the same punitive legal outcomes, despite similar transgressions. Preschool experiences are another social risk factor for later aggression and delinquency.
A study by UCLA reports that more then 30 percent of college freshmen say they feel overwhelmed most of the time in the beginning stages of college. Some students, however, find themselves feeling much more than simply overwhelmed. 65% percent of 2006 college seniors surveyed, the numbers has increased 50% since the 1970s. Reactive depression has its peak in females between twenty-six and forty, and for males between thirty-six and forty, emphasize that depression occurs at all ages. The difference between adult and childhood pictures of depression have been attributed to an inability of the child to verbalized his or her affective state incomplete superego development, and absence of consistent
Can’t they be happy without any children? Studies show that adults living with young children experience more negative emotions like depression, anxiety, anger, etc., than adults do that do not live with young children. “Parents' other social statuses - particularly their marital, employment, and socioeconomic status - influence the association between parenthood and mental health (page 43).” I feel like that is an obvious thing – obviously a single parent, parents with lower education and household income, and unemployed parents will report higher levels of depression because society makes them feel they are not fit to be a parent or they are not doing it the right way. Stress is a big result in having children – mostly because of the high financial cost of raising children. Also, dealing with parenthood and paid work outside the home adds to the stress.
