    The simple measure of poverty is when a family’s income is not meeting its needs. The underlying causes of poverty are much more convoluted, relating to the distribution of government power, a continuously widening income gap, differences in cultural attitudes and ideologies, and inequalities in wealth and education. Other social conditions tend to perpetuate poverty, such as cultural differences in family life and attitudes toward education and inequality within education and job markets, based on gender or socioeconomic status. The consequences of poverty are evident among our society. Supporting evidence includes an increase in domestic violence, homelessness, and substance abuse; and other social problems, poor nutrition and care for children, and inequality in education, which all directly result from the effects of poverty on both the…

    Every culture has its own unique flare or characteristics. A country or regions culture is a good indicator in determining what the people who live in this area might be like. This was evident through numerous presentations that were presented in class this week. For example, when we talked about carnivals, we got a good understanding on how the Caribbean is different from other parts of the world. Carnivals are conducted in several places throughout the world, and one is different from the other. Based on the differences the carnivals in the Caribbean exhibit we can make assumptions on Caribbean identity.…

    In the United States and in countries all over the world, poverty takes extreme deficits to the country's population. Throughout my life I have began to notice these deficits take toll on my community of Payette. I chose this topic because growing up in a small community you really get to see the best and worst of everyone. This includes those who may not have as much money as you. When you are younger it isn’t something you notice much of the bad that is happening but as you grow up you see if through your friends and their family members. As I grew up that was what I saw, I saw the effects of poverty really start to hit them harder than I had ever noticed before. I also based my senior project off the fact that those in this community suffer so…

    In the United States there are many families that live in poverty. Something that most people don’t understand is poverty is a state, not a characteristic. People are not poor by choice. The culture of poverty states that “the assumption that the values and behaviors of the poor male them fundamentally different from other people” (Henslin, 2017). Poverty can be determined by many things, some important ones are the social classes in the United States, stereotypes that play along with race and ethnicity and finally, population and urbanization.…
