Task 3 Case Study – “I am Sam” In everyone’s lives Advocacy is important, but it is even more important should you have a disability. In this case study I will be expressing my opinion on where an advocate would of helped Sam and his daughter (Lucy) from the movie “I am Sam”. It is quiet chilling that Sam and Lucy did not get help in so many parts of this movie. It really shows you how people can slip through the system when professionals do not recognise intervention from the beginning could actually prevent so much hard ache for many families. Sam had a few people in his life during his journey of parenthood on his own.
Pot bellied pigs are very unique and individualistic. Their Personalities are always one of a kind, just like dogs. Many piglets shy away from being picked up or touched very much, but this soon changes once you and your piglet bond. They usually become very affectionate and pretty much a lap “dog”. Piglets often tend to have trust issues with their new owners and that may take some time to work through.
The lives of homeless people shouldn’t be decided depending on how generous we feel. Shelters should be built and food should be provided for some of them. We associate homeless people as people who are lazy and ‘cannot be bothered’ to find a g=job. Many homeless people are living on the streets because they were neglected as a child or have horrible parents. It isn’t their fault that they didn’t get an education because their parents spent all the money they had on alcohol and drugs.
In Annawadi the only free school is the municipal school near the airport. This school stops at the eighth grade, and the teachers are often absent and lack the ability to give a proper education. Due to this issue most parents do not waste time sending their children to the municipal schools. Since there are a lot of parents who do not send their children there it is also why no one seems to make an effort to change it. If the slum residents want to attend the ninth grade and beyond, then they would have to pay for a private school.
“People could be helping a sickly two year old become a healthy six year old” (372) says Singer. This might be right; however, donating money doesn’t always work out for the best, and organizations only sent partial donations overseas to help families in need of care. The other is used for the cost of everything sent overseas. Then there are those organizations that say they are going to help those in need but actually pocket the money for other uses. Since it’s hard to trust anybody this day and age why not help out by volunteering at a local soap kitchen and help feed, homeless people, who have nothing to eat?

They would generally spend it on cathouses, which was the one of the few ways to have a good time. So, What would you do if there was a huge stock market crash and you were left with very little money or became unemployed? All of these characters went through hard times but yet each was a different individual with different traits. My grandmother is the only person that I can think of that has all three characters traits. She is lonely because she lives alone in her own apartment, she is clever because you can
This is due to the effect of nurture as her emotions and social life is caused because of environmental influences and factors such as her divorce. Not having her husband around anymore means that she has no one in the home to speak to just generally about everyday things. She only has the company of her children and this does not meet her social needs. 3As lone parents, we may experience emotions such as loneliness and isolation.

It is also true that these children are less supervised because they don’t receive the time and communication from their parents. Even though there is no evidence behind all this, these are the reasons why single-parent households are viewed as problematic for
However even poverty experts say that the proposal is wrong because even well qualified individuals can’t find jobs in this economy. This means that parents with no education, or work experience are expected to find a job within two years or else they will lose government help. There have also been propositions that have already passed in many states to have mandatory drug tests to people who are on welfare. By making mandatory drug tests they are insuring that the money that people on welfare attain is not being used for drugs. Advocates for the poor however, say that if you only test people on welfare, then you are single them out.
