and crime (Laster & Young 1947). A major cause of illiteracy is the economic

condition of the people cannot afford to go to school and most of the children are

put to work at a young age. The effects of Poverty and illiteracy are harmful to

both individuals and society. Poverty is the deprivation of food, shelter,

money and clothing that when occurs people cannot satisfy their basic needs. It is

    In Jonathan Kozol’s essay “The Human Cost of an Illiterate Society” Kozol relies on tugging on the reader’s heartstrings rather than presenting the statistics that would prove his point without a shadow of a doubt. In the end readers are left thinking “why should I care so much about the illiterate?” That being said, Kozol strikingly relates to the reader the many things that an illiterate person cannot do on a day to day basis. His accounts of illiteracy are shocking and heartbreaking to read about, but without the solidity of facts and statistics, the reader has a great emotional response but does not know what to do about it.…

    Poverty can result from low income, unemployment, parental separation, illness or disability, addictions or criminal activities, all of which can lead to children suffering from malnutrition or poor diet as a result of not being able to afford quality food, which could result in lack of concentration or poor performance in school. They could suffer from other health related issues, which could limit opportunities and influence the child's outcome in life. They could get bullied as a result of their clothing or because they do not have the latest must have accessories. Children who suffer poverty will possibly miss out on further education due to costs that are involved, or as a result of the need to find employment to help support their family.…

    To begin with, there are many causes of poverty but to be more specific, the causes of child poverty revolve around one key factor: family income, which distinguishes whether or not a child is considered to be in poverty. A family’s income depends on the level of education of the heads of the household, the state of the economy, and the family structure. The level of education is an important indicator of who will get what job and thus who will have a higher or lower income in a society. Work places tend to hire highly educated people because companies know that the more educated a person is, the more likely that person is to have a better quality of work. People who have only earned a high school education find it harder to earn as much money as more highly educated people since there is a “decreased value of wages earned by lower educated workers,” (Wood). Because of this, parents with low education have difficulties keeping a job and staying above the poverty line. Another imperative…

    The mistreatment of child labour deprived children an education and typical childhood experiences, which had negative social and psychological effects. They had no chance of social mobility and were forced into labour rather than attending education, keeping them in cycles of poverty. In addition, child labourers suffered long-lasting emotional trauma from the authoritarian and frequently abusive treatment they received from supervisors and employers, which created feelings of helplessness and poor self-worth. Given this kind of hardship, it is understandable why so many kids give up hope and despair. Their youthful shoulders carried the weight of poverty and exploitation, in addition to the never-ending labour.…

But, there is that slight chance that it could be damaging to us – ruining our career options.…
