But, he later learned that this wasn’t going to solve anything. This would only help out a person for a moment, however it wouldn’t solve any issues. Tolstoy needed to create a way for the people in poverty to be able to support themselves. After much thought, Tolstoy concluded that rich people shouldn’t just hand out money; rather they need to change the way they live. Rich people need to learn to spend their money on things that matter, instead of wasting it on unnecessary things.
The welfare system in America is broken. It was originally designed to help people that cannot find jobs or cannot work but that is not exactly what it is doing. Not all people who are on welfare really need it and it is causing some people to be denied. Many families do not want to rely on the federal government because they do not want to be looked at as poor or that they cannot provide for their own family without extra help from others. A lot of people lie about what they do and do not do and conservatives and liberals ignore it when they know what is happening.
Even with her Father’s prompting she doesn’t seem to understand, as she clearly has prejudice towards people like the Ewells and Cuninghams just for being poor, or different than her. Despite this Atticus still prompted her towards doing what is right, even with everything around her telling her to do differently. Atticus seems to understand this though, and doesn’t scold her when she is prejudice. He knows that its difficult for
Giving people what they deserve, and what they deserve depends upon how they behave within the society. The deserving poor were those who were poor through no fault of their own, either because of illnesss, accident or age or because there was no work available for them. In Uk the elderly and children were also seen as more deserving than prime-age adults. Where the pauperism referred to those who were receiving relief and were less deserving than the more honest individuals who were desperately poor but not receiving government
Most people that think a higher education should be free are not very wealth but there are programs like financial aide to help them if they have the desire to get a higher education. If a higher education is just handed to them they begin to take things for granted and if that happens then they expect everything to be handed to them. So if America paid for the higher education of its citizens, America would not improve but eventually fail. Not paying for the higher education insures there will be service jobs; people that don’t have the desire to try in college will not waste the government’s money, and utilize
Those employers work overtime but did not get the pay that they deserve. Instead, employers who came late to work will not be tolerated. This has caused many employers to get stressed out, leading to suicide attempts. The reason may be because the labor costs in foreign countries are cheap compared to United States. However, I think it is wrong to take advantage of those employers’ lives by not providing those employers fairly.
Some people feel like welfare is bad for society because its just giving people a reason not to work and be lazy. While others feel like without welfare many families will starve because of a job loss or something else. I feel like welfare helps you and is good for you to a certain extent because a lot of people try to live off it so they won’t have to get a job. Everybody has a strong opinion on this subject which makes it interesting to research and learn more about. My group gave out one hundred survey’s to random people of all ages and genders.
For example, if we know someone is on welfare, we tend to think they are lazy and don't care. When we see poor people, we say they deserve their life because they are lazy and don't try hard enough, and we say homeless people are addicts/alcoholics, but in reality most people in the US are one paycheck from disaster. Really, we as a hole need to stop and think, when we see poor, homeless or people receiving government assistance that could be us, and they
This is because if the parents lacks this they wouldn't be able to encourage and help their child with their studies in the same way others do. This affects working class children more because their parents tend to be less well-educated and reduces the child's chance of achieving high in life as they may become less developed than another family leading onto my next point involving Bernstein. However, you this is criticisms by the fact working class parents cannot help their child because they have to work long and tiresome hours to live a decent life. Therefore, you cannot blame all working class parents for having a lack of interest if they are working to pay bills. Another cultural factor that might affect educational chances was argued by Bernstein.
I think materialism in America plays a huge part in why more people are becoming poor and why some are staying poor. Honestly, if you were to ask people what makes them happy, a lot of their answers would include, "having nice things" Why? Because people judge on what others have and re-evaluate their own lives. In some cases people constantly feel like they don't have enough. Our society no longer cares about what people need, it’s all about WANT, WANT, WANT!
