If people are separated from the society they will feel isolated and could lead to depression, anxiety, eating disorders, financial problems and/or health problems. For example of a social class marginalisation is when the high class get the majority of the medication than people who really need it, especially from the low class society. They would feel that it is normal just because they don’t have the money to pay the medication, that’s why most of them just die from untreated sickness. Disempowerment is when an individual or group of people feel less powerful or less confident from others. It might because of their age or gender, age because if you are working in a hospital and you are the youngest among the group the elderly will dominate which make you feel disempowerment.
For many living in poverty, some of these are not an option. For one, inequality among those in different socioeconomic groups is evident when observing social interaction between groups. In most cases, the rich associate with the rich, the middle class with the middle class, and likewise for the lower classes. Many people hold the attitude that others on welfare or living below or at poverty level are lazy and abusive to the system. Some even believe that because some do not work, that they actually live better than an individual who does have to work (Lauer and Lauer, pp 169, 170).
The burden of not having a job and inability to make a living and earn money can result to financial difficulty and push them into below poverty line and into the streets. Mental disability is also one of the causes of homelessness. It prevents the ability to do essential aspects in life. Mentally disabled person cannot work and need medical and special services (Rosenheck, 1994). Poor mental health also causes unstable relationship that press family members and friend’s abandonment that can lead to homelessness.
The personal choices that a child makes can have a lasting effect on their life. Both smoking and drinking alcohol can become addictive. | Being in Care System | Social Factor | Being in the Care System is a Social Factor because this can result in the child being more withdrawn from others and in some cases less trusting. Due to poor relationships with their parents/adults, which is the foundation of making relationships and friendships with others. | Poverty | Economic Factor | Poverty is an Economic Factor because without the money to pay for good education or extra support the child may not do very well academically it has been proven that children who live in poverty do not perform as well as more affluent children.
This is because they have not got much money and leisure activities cost a lot. The families from lower socioeconomic groups are normally the people who intake a lot of alcohol/drugs and this could potentially lead them into prison. People with ‘professional jobs’ such as
All of these things can put parents at risk for becoming depressed.” Another cause, is the fact that the transition into parenting can be a very stressful time in a person’s life. This can be very worrisome as research has found that depressed fathers were most likely to neglect their children and resort to physical punishment towards their child. As well as, it being less likely that they will read and interact with their children on an academic level. In particular, it is troublesome among Latinos because there is the lack of Spanish speaking health care providers, for those latino fathers. As well as there is less information regarding Latinos and mental health, leading these men to be less likely to search out help.
Social exclusion is a dynamic process and can be transmitted from one generation to the next although not voluntary. It is due to the fact that some people do not get a fair deal in society because of social differences. Some sociologists have agued that it is a mechanism for poverty. There are two types of poverty. According to Townsend (1979) individuals or families can be said to be in poverty when they lack the resources to obtain the type of diet, participation in the activities that are at least widely encouraged in society.
The reality is that lower-income families barley makes enough to cover their bills. Many poor people live paycheck and paycheck, and are often not in a position to create an emergency cash fund. The impoverished are also often categorized as people who are lazy and don’t like to work. Poverty is often
One possible explanation for the causation between poverty and negative social behaviours is that many impoverished families are single parent households with less parental supervision (Moore, 2009 p.4). Another explanation is that many impoverish families live in low-income neighbourhoods and children don’t get to experience the social norms that many people take for granted. For example, “homicide rates are highest in areas of extreme poverty, and children exposed to such violence are at greater risk of psychosocial difficulties, such as internalizing behaviours and acting out behaviours” (Moore, 2009,
Most of the crimes done by the poor people are by necessity as a study shows that people who were given the choice of moving into a lower poverty neighborhood didn’t do as much crime as the people who stayed in the higher poverty neighborhood. Other factors that contribute to people committing crimes do to poverty are those who get addicted to drugs to vanish somewhat you can say of the hunger they have but can’t satisfy. Violence is seen in the way of when they decided to rob a store or a house the owners get tired of it and decide to either close down or sale the house. Which makes it even harder for the people that does have money to buy and as a consequence makes the poor people in desperation rebel against the government and start causing disasters in their cities or villages to get the governments attention because they feel they were left down. The world is falling short in its promise and commitment to ensure that every child enjoys a safe and nurturing
