Over the past decades Texas has had one of the lowest voter turnouts. According to Maxwell the reasons for such low voter turnout is because of laws, socioeconomic characteristics, political structure, and political culture. At the turn of the 19th century voter turnout was one of the lowest due to many laws and regulations placed on citizens that denied many people to vote. Many people including women, African Americans, and many immigrants were not allowed to vote. Voting early in the 19th century was considered more of luxury and only very few would get the chance to vote.
Because of this, two-thirds of the patients seen on that day had multiple comorbidities possibly due to lack of preventative care. The report from the GADCH states that individuals without health insurance lag behind the insured population on many dimensions including having decreased rates of preventative care leading to multiple comorbidities resulting in fair to poor health (2007). When this happens, there are more sick days (usually without pay) resulting into lower income for this population that is already struggling to make ends meet. This impacts the entire region’s productivity leading into a cascading effect for rural areas (GADCH,
1) Suggest three factors within schools that may lead to the educational under-achievement of pupils from some minority ethnic groups. (6marks) 2) Suggest three material factors that might cause working-class educational underachievement. (6 marks) One material factor that may cause working class underachievement is lack of workspace at home. Poverty leads to material deprivation whereby this involves cramped housing, an environment where the child has no space for homework and where illnesses spread quickly. This means that the children are unable to do homework, thus fall behind on work in class, which in turn leads to low educational attainment.
Material depravation is the lack of money and resources in the home. Sociologists who are ‘material depravation sociologists’ believe that the main cause of underachievement is lack of money and resources due to poverty. Overcrowding can lead to children not being able to study/ do homework, there may also be disturbed sleep, also, in a crowded household, children have a higher risk of accident. Families living in temporary housing will also be worse off as it means the child may have disrupted education. Howard (2001) noted that young people from poorer homes have lower intakes of energy, vitamins, and minerals.

As well as the living and food conditions being substandard, that was also the case for the education. It was not the high-class or even regular standard education level that the European children received, so once the aboriginal children were out of school it was very challenging for them to live in the mainstream European society. Being that the children were are the school for ten months of the year they also lacked a sense of family and community living. The children were always separated by gender and so if you had a sibling of the opposite gender you rarely got the chance to talk to them. The lack of family living skills can also be blamed on the fact that the schools taught the children to only speak in English, so when they went home they were unable to communicate with their family as they lost their native language.
Melvin Tyus Jr. 8-25-12 4th Period Essay To me the most important issue in this upcoming election is without question, the economy. Everyone knows this economy is a disaster, and that we are in as worse shape than Europe is in right now. Both Obama and Romney will declare war with Iran. It really doesn’t matter what they do, the economy is going to suck bad. Dealing with a bad economy is a tough job to handle, regardless who the person or persons is.
The method in which welfare is being reformed, including, but not limited to forcing people to survive off unlivable minimum wages and instituting harmful qualifications in order to receive welfare aid, is not an effective means of helping the impoverished. This has been true for about the past decade. Working for minimum wage does not provide a sufficient amount of income to survive. In addition, welfare now has qualifications that are harmful for those in need of support. Welfare reform is not on the right track to improve lives and is only going to exacerbate the terrible living situations of the penniless.
