This is a major problem that we need to solve. The Bliss type of homeless should not be incorporated into the statistics we as a nation gather this is because they are not the true homeless people, they are the lazy and unmotivated people of society. They can choose to be houseless if they want to, but they should be excluded from any sort of statistic that we
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.
Ignoring the reality of everyday life and how it works can obsure individuals perspective of the world, which has devastating effects, such as not being able to understand what it best for ones self in life. In ‘Paul’s Case’ by Willa Cather, the protagonist, Paul, experiences these devastating effects. In order to escape the misery of his everyday life, Paul ignores reality and devises an affluent life for himself, however it is these illogical measures that ultimately cause him to make irrational and harsh decisions that prevent him from securing self-fulfillment. Paul’s great misunderstanding about the relationship between work and money cause him to carry out decietful actions that lead to his downfall. Paul strongly believes that he belongs in the
These men, women, and children suffered much and lost too much. The family in this movie shows that life is never easy and gets sometimes to hard to bear, but when they stick together; it made the burdens easier to bear. The Great Depression in the end had a toll on anyone who lived during it, but it gave people a sense of perspective of how they should live their lives and what matters the most. Because in the end, money, bills, and other worldly things are not as important as the meaning of being a family because in just a blink of eye, those things could be taken from you and everything that means something to you will be
He showed very little emotional leadership and financial responsibility, additionally, he depends on money to meet his family’s needs and thinks that “life is money,” more than he trust in his momma and family. He is a pretty defeated man in his household, who has neglected to obtain his financial independence, therefore he is a subordinate member of the family which has to depend on his mama’s power over the economic management. With his uninterrupted and unstable pursue in the field of financial interest to accomplish the needs of his family he is unable to understand the demand of emotional encouragement, suggested behind the complicated needs of a family. It becomes distinguishing of Walter in his growth during the movie that whenever economic dependability exists his point of view for the future is hopeful, however when this aspect seems to endanger his
People are struggling to survive everyday because they have no food and shelter. These people may always dig through the trash to find something to eat for the day, not knowing if they will find anything. Families may always live in horrible conditions, having no other choice, because they do not have enough money. It’s extremely hard for them to find well paying jobs in these countries. For most of these people it’s nearly impossible to get out of poverty because they were born and raised in that culture, unless other people who aren’t in poverty help them out.
Poverty attacks your own self-worth or self-esteem and your personal belief system about who you are and questions your value to society. It really boils down to they feel that nobody wants them or needs them. Having no value to society therefore allows homeless people to be put into a frame of mind in which they become more cynical; and by becoming more cynical, it makes you more of an
While receiving welfare, one must meet, or not meet, a certain income criteria. If the income earned is more than what has been outlined by the state, the recipient of the benefits no longer is eligible to receive the benefits. This forces a person to not take the extra hours at work so they can stay below the poverty level to continue to reap the benefits of the system. Some people abuse the system, not all though, and this makes things like stipulations on the rationing of benefits unfair and difficult to implement. Providing a set amount of benefits regardless of family size, doesn’t seem like a fair idea to this
They are not treated equal as everyone one else, and the entire thing that’s promised to them is but a fantasy that will never happen. They live in the outskirt of towns and receives limited education, and money not enough for a standard living, but enough to drown them self in alcohol. They don’t receive the same level of respect or opportunity; wither with an alcoholic family or not enough money for a proper education. People would not give them their right as a human being if their skill set are the same as the normal white folk, there is always a hint of stereotype and prejudice or just down right
Welfare is receiving without having to earn what has been given. This causes people to lose respect for their belonging because they didn’t have to work hard to get them, and people on welfare will not respect others belongings because they will not understand that they had to work to get their possessions. People on welfare lose a lot if not all the values that society holds to be the foundation of the working man’s way of life. They lose their sense of right and wrong and this is not the intended purpose of welfare. People on welfare somehow have a sense of entitlement that is extremely unrealistic.
