Welfare is concerned with meeting human needs for such things as food, shelter and clean water, preventing absolute and relative poverty and providing health, education and other services. Pete Alcock (2003) divides welfare provision into four sectors which will be discussed in this essay. The informal sector is informal care provided by friends, relatives or neighbours. The strengths of the informal sector are that it is free and therefore saves money for the state which reduces dependence of the state sector, another strength is that the care is personal and may therefore be tailored to meet the needs of the individual. However there are many disadvantages of informal care as there is no regulation of the competence of training of providers.
Like Away Bound Train it has a theme of travelling in a train as the journey. There is no extended metaphor but rather the journey of soldiers to their old towns and communities. The idea of encountering new people is relevant to this journey poem as the people that they encounter are not new but instead it is them, the soldiers, who have changed and are new. “Old terrors doze” shows how the soldier’s journey home has changed them from what they were. I also believe that the soldier’s are going to see the old towns and communities differently upon their return.

The correspondence between Member of Parliament Edward Hale and his wife Eliza provides one of the richest resources for the history of the Eastern Townships during the 1840s. There are also paintings, articles of clothing and home furnishings from the Hale Family in the McCord collection. This letter, dated June 2, 1840 and sent by Edward Hale from Montreal to his wife in Sherbrooke, was written "crossed", with the lines intersecting at right angles to save paper and postage. P- 1829-1851. P- I don’t know much about this topic but I do know writing letters to people was a very common way to express yourself in that era.
They also live for the moment (present gratification). Some sociologists say that these attitudes and values prevent people from escaping poverty. For example, the attitudes and values of the poor mean that many don't stay in education, so they can't use qualifications to escape from their poverty. Some sociologists criticise this explanation of poverty because although it shows how people in poverty might adapt to their situation, it doesn't explain why people are in poverty in the first place. Another explanation of poverty is the poverty cycle.

One is able to see how greatly Clausen’s family benefited from these welfare checks and how in the end the family was able to complete the circle of welfare and give back to society. Although the average reader could not relate to a family on welfare, the author tries to help them understand by make his story emotional and personal. He states how much welfare checks helped his family when saying, “The money was often the difference between eating and not eating” (Clausen 1). One is able to understand that these checks were not for mere luxury items due to the fact that the family was spending the checks on things they needed in order to
Hello class and Prof. Alan, My heart goes out to Hanneh Hayyeh. Here you have a women who is poor and works very hard for what little money she gets, and appreciates the simple things in life, like having a nice kitchen. All she wants is to have is a little a beauty in her life which is a kitchen painted white, that reminds her of the times he shares with her boss Mr. Preston and it serves as home coming gift for her son from the war. I dislike her husband because of his attitude and lack of support for her dreams. Just because you are poor does not mean you should not have dreams of wanting better things.
Only a select few have what it takes to be an everyday lunch lady. She makes sure the children that eat the frozen foods thank God every night for each well made, home cooked meal they have. She makes them pray that they don’t have to eat her lunch for every meal. She stimulates the economy by making sure children go and buy food and lunches from stores instead of in school; a job only a lunch lady can do. The lunch lady possesses many virtues in this world.
The 'working poor,' as they are approvingly termed, are in fact the major philanthropists of our society. They neglect their own children so that the children of others will be cared for; they live in substandard housing so that other homes will be shiny and perfect; they endure deprivation so that inflation will be low and stock prices high. To be
