Annotated Bibliography

Poverty is one of the biggest problems the world faces right now.The word “ Poverty” has become a common word nowadays. People have forgotten how much poverty affects people not just financially, but also the success rate of people who live in poverty. This is the reason I chose to do my topic “How Poverty affects students educational achievement in the United States?”, which is a relevant topic because the economy of a country depends on the shoulders of the future generation and its success rate. This is significant to me because I am from Nepal. Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world. Therefore, many people there live in poverty, so I have always asked myself this question “ Why are people poor?” and how are students affected. For my annotated bib I found most of my sources in databases for ex: EBSCOhost. These databases really helped me find papers related to my topic and widened my knowledge related to this topic. To make sure if EBSCOhost was reliable I looked at other places on the internet which had names articles and

It mostly talks about the actions the court and government should take to improve our nationwide international achievement test scores. This paper was cited from EBSCOhost, which is a reliable source. Therefore, ensuring that it’s a reliable source. I also looked at New England Journal of Public Policy, which had published the same article with the same information letting me know it’s a reliable source.

    “The Privilege of Poverty” is Joan Mueller’s attempt to reincorporate the women of the Franciscan Order and the role they played during their medieval time back into the early Franciscan history that is often written without any mention of them. Joan Mueller seeks to correct that problematic gap, lacking women’s voices and experiences, in the historiography of the early Franciscan movement. To accomplish this goal, she focuses on the history of the Franciscan Rule of St. Clare which was finally approved in 1253, only two days before she died. The encompassing theme of the book is the insistence on the “Privilege of Poverty” by Clare of Assisi and the women of St. Francis that was finally granted to them one day before with Clare's death…

    When I look at how I perceived diversity before this class I feel that I am forced to see how unaware I truly was. I would talk about situations like I knew what was going on but what I did not realize was that I was looking at all diversity issues through blinders. I remember a situation where I was talking to my coworkers about a commercial for an all-black dance group and how they were going to tell their story from slavery forward. I said something like how dare they, if an all-white group did something like that we would be ridiculed for it. When asked what should be done about the issues about diversity in my career field specifically I could only go off what I knew, which was not a lot, and my answer was coming from an uneducated and ignorant person.…

    Ranita Ray conducted her fieldwork over a three year period among 16 young men and women in a poor inner city community in Northeastern United States.

This article explains how kinship, specifically siblings, are a major tool in coping with, and surviving, poverty.…
