The lack of education leads to further development of barriers such as a financial barrier and poor lifestyle that makes them unable to provide for themselves and their child. Most jobs that do not require a high school diploma only offer a minimum wage and do not offer adequate benefits to meet all medical needs. “key indicators of health, infant mortality rates and low-birth weight rates, were elevated when infants were born to mothers who were less educated” (Flores et al,1998). Considering that statement I believe that the biggest barrier affecting this vulnerable population’s health is education. Vulnerable mothers that do not finish getting their education become discouraged and loose the motivation and drive to tackle the oncoming challenges that life brings, creating for them another barrier on the micro level; it being a financial barrier.
Over 1/3 of the world’s children suffer from absolute poverty, and over 1/3 of all children in the world have to live in a dwelling with more than five people in each room. Also in developing countries over 375 million children drink unsafe water, which can be a cause of diseases. Infectious diseases are one of the main causes of death in some countries, and many children die before there 5th birthday. A big difference between countries is the fact that in countries such as Sierra Leone there are child soldiers. These children never experience the normal childhood, or get the true experience of the ‘golden age’.
Reflection Paper BSHS/345 Week 3 Reflective Paper Kathleen Parks Dr. Princess Clarke August 8, 2014 All the people in our country and across the world face many kinds of difficulties starting from trauma, challenges for migrant and seasonal workers, women aging to overcoming poverty. The incomes and expenditure for no one persons are the same. The poverty passed down from generation to generation is stated as generational poverty. It is a forever-going cycle passed down from parents to children, to the children to the grandchildren and so on. The government’s offered solutions can help get over the generational poverty problems, however the system’s are broken and provide little to no relief to the immediate issue of putting society
Frank Reimann 12/3/13 Michigan Education There are many problems with public education in Michigan, but the biggest problem that we are faced with is the impact of social and economic disadvantages on many schools and students. The expectations for kids in the 21st century are set very high, but with poverty levels increasing and school budgets being cut, how are they supposed to keep up with the rest of the world? I believe that a way that the businesses could support schools is by forming a relationship with them. Because after all the businesses are the ones who benefit most from educated people. The higher educated the worker, the more the businesses will benefit.
Their educational opportunity decreases, and the drop out of school is enormous because they are not encourage them as much as boys. They are seen in the family as a burden. Lack of education and many obstacles impoverish them. They suffer physical and emotional stress most of their lifetime. In United States, the CDC reported, Adolescent Girls formed a major group of people who received help from the government for prenatal services.
As the text says: “I think that our kids are going to have a lot harder time than we’ve had” which is a scary thing, because if they must have it harder than their parents who are already living on $11 then it ends with the children living in more poverty than parents. I think the point of this paragraph is that you have to get a good education to get a good job and earn good
The problem with starving people in America is that, first of all people are starving. Then you have people who might die from not getting enough food. If homeless people have kids then it makes babies not get the nutrition that they should be getting. It just spreads all over tell about half of Americas population will be homeless or starving. No one should ever have to live through that, ever.
Illiteracy Crisis Have you ever been in a foreign country where you couldn’t read or write the language? Step into the mind of an adult who is illiterate against their own language. In The Human Cost of an Illiterate Society, Jonathan Kozol states, “Illiteracy has many cost; few are so irreversible.” According to the essay, there are one-third of adults who are illiterate in America. Every day, adults who don’t have the ability to read or write must face difficult challenges. These challenges can range from traveling, their rights, and communication for those who are illiterate.
Mothers and childrenAshford universityHCA430: pecial Populations Instructor: Dawn Deem | | | | Shamika McMillan | April 28, 2013 | | Without adequate resources, there is no hope for improvement. Women and children in America are vulnerable. Young mothers become vulnerable due to lack of education and resources to support themselves and their children. The lack of resources that are not available to this vulnerable population are causing children and mothers to live in low income high crime areas with inadequate healthcare and a small chance of obtaining an education. Community based programs are one way to tackle issues facing communities, that if not properly addressed will only worsen.
Uninsured children are 10 times more likely than insured children to have unmet medical needs, such as untreated asthma, diabetes or obesity, and are 5 times as likely as an insured child to go more than two years without seeing a doctor, according to Uninsured Children: The Children’s Defense Fund,2012. Children without adequate health insurance are also more likely to die from diseases or illnesses. Children living in a poverty filled home may have health issues that come from such things as no running water, lack of food, lack of heat, or an infestation of bugs. These poor living conditions can really cause a child to fall ill, but when they don’t have the means to receive healthcare, they can become seriously ill. Health can influence everything from a child’s ability to learn to a child’s overall wellbeing (Wolf, 1999). When a parent does not have health insurance for their child, they tend to wait longer to take that child in for care.
