The very purpose of living is defeated if there is an absence of just, equitable, peaceful, and moral existence of human minds. Undoubtedly, the matter becomes a cause of concern for anyone if it is degraded by the human minds. In this context, it makes good sense to assume that the peaceful co-existence of people without any differences is good for the mutual understanding, respect, and honor of one another’s lives and property. All of us know this that such a logical approach in life ...

The community affairs within a society are directly connected to the economy of the community. Therefore, “there exists a relationship between private investments and public services” (Shipler 20). According to Alan and Boyle (34), “the working poor in America come from areas with a high poverty concentration, in this regard poverty and accountability emerge as interconnected issues in these societies”, similarly Shipler (22), “acknowledges that, the high poverty levels indicate that there are lower the accountability levels within the ...

Finkelhor (2009) in his research sought an answer for the root causes of criminal behavior. He found a relationship between poverty and criminal activity. His findings show that a poor person is five times more likely ...

Abstract

Different researches have been conducted on the impact of debt on families. This current research study explores the effects of debts among children born in low income families. While using a study sample of 100 participants, the current research study found out that more poor children from indebted families have low educational attainment as compared to the children from wealthier families. This study suggests that in order to end poverty in the long run, the government needs to provide alternative sources of finance for the low income earners. This would help them repay their debts and leave them with enough ...

“Seven Islands and a Metro” and “Bombay: Our City”

The United Nations reported in 2009 that by the year 2030, 41% of the population of India will reside in urban areas. Mumbai is one of one of the 20 largest cities in the world with a population of 2.21 billion in 2011.

First, the governor held absolute vetoing power. Second, the individual liberties were written and protected in an official document and lawfully recognized four years before the enactment of the ...

The nation that once operated under the principle of egalitarianism now struggles with a level of inequality that has surpassed most of its East Asia neighbours. In the 1980’s, poverty was a problem restricted mainly to rural areas, but recently it has forayed into urban areas as well. Since the mid-1990’s, urban poverty has grown at a very fast pace under the influence of globalization (Fulong, Webster, and Yuting 5). The economic restructure of China is a huge contributor to ...

One of the most famous satirical pieces of all time is Jonathan Swift’s A Modest Proposal. Although the issues contained within the text are aimed specifically at the political and economic situation in Ireland and England during the early eighteenth century, the thematic ideas that Swift develops so effectively in his work remain important to this day. Swift utilizes satire and wordplay to underscore the oppression of the Irish by the English, and in doing so, creates one of the longest-lived pieces of social and political satire and sustained irony of all time.
Religion in England, Ireland, ...

Why American education is falling

The standards of American education system have been falling year in and year out compared to other industrialized nations. Based on recent results of scholastic aptitude tests, the American student is by far bettered by the Asian and European counterparts respectively.

Things don’t seem to improve as research findings trickle in i.e. a research shows that despite great proportion of gross national product being spent on education; it’s worth noting that the American elementary and secondary school student never ranked above the median when compared with ...

Thinking About Poverty
America is considered one of the most prosperous countries in the world. However, those who happen to experience poverty understand that this concept is somewhat blurry and very subjective. One can say that living in Manteca CA with around $40 000 of income with two children to provide for and a rented apartment on the outskirts is practically a condition on the verge of beggarhood. Others would say that this is just an applicable federally defined poverty level when a citizen is living from hand to mouth calculating every coin spent on rents, food and day-care facilities. Whatever ...

Research Paper Outline

Punishment, crime, and poverty have long been linked together during criminological and sociological investigations. These links are strengthened by the fact that poverty causes deprivation of basic and luxurious needs and this in turn breeds the temptation to commit crime hence victimizing the concerned parties in the process. Scholars in the social sciences have therefore resorted to grouping people according to their socioeconomic statuses in a bid to monitor their motivations and behaviors. These studies have ended up associating high crime rates with poverty and socioeconomic inequality. These crimes then bring up the subject of punishment and its role in ...

Introduction

In last few years, the randomized program evaluation has become the gold basis for evaluating the development programs and also the bread and butter of many development economists. The evaluations sometimes uncover the valuable new information, but are contentious, and can also be prohibitively expensive to implement, for small NGO’s. Appreciating how the microfinance affects clients is not straightforward for the reason that there are several possible explanations for why, say, a borrower is doing well as compared to her non-borrowing peers. The credit may be helping–or conceivably the borrower was already comparatively prosperous and would have fared ...

Hypertension is a silent killer that afflicts over 77 million people in USA. The prevalence of this disease is higher among African-Americans than other ethnic groups.

The market for the produce is not guaranteed thus the farmers do not find any motivation to do large-scale farming. The climatic changes have affected the agricultural sector in developed countries leading to low ...

The rate of poverty in the United States in 1964 was around 19%. The then President Lyndon Johnson declared war on poverty. Approximately $12 trillion has since been spent on the fight against poverty. However, the rate of poverty has never gone below 10%. Currently it is estimated to be close to 15.1%. This shows that the welfare system is ineffective towards the fight against poverty. Welfare programs include the cash benefit programs among others. A common example is the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families. The federal government currently funds 126 welfare programs with the goal of lowering poverty ...

The “bottom billion” refers to the poorest people in the world and not necessarily countries. Although they may be concentrated in the poorest countries in the world, especially in Africa, they are also found in many developing countries across especially across the globe. These people suffer from many problems as a result of their country’s situation apparently because the country itself is so poor and cannot provide itself with requirements for survival ; the kind of aid it is receiving simply is not appropriate and is thus not working ; it is ravaged by war and similar problems ; or, poor governance ...
