Poverty trap

Bracha Minsky SOS 190 Midterm The American social welfare system spends billions of dollars every year on its citizens. It has helped many Americans with food, shelter and education. Congress is constantly fighting over cutting costs or increasing the budget. The government sets these programs as temporary aid. America is the land of opportunity and wants to be able to give those opportunities to its future generations as well. Does the population who uses these government aid…

I was just looking at the blood red seals on my arms. Three in total one on each bicep and another one on my shoulder. Father explained that the one on my left bicep was magic that would collect and reflect the enemy magic that others used to attack me. The one on the right bicep would essentially allow me to copy others magic and make a seal on it for me to use any other time. The third seal, had five layers that would come off each time I used it. Causing harm to me, but also granting me…

I interviewed head coach of the North Scott Trap Team, Dave Fredericksen. My father happens to be the head coach, however, his position in the organization is nothing more than a coincidence; I would be interviewing the coach of the team regardless of who the coach was at the time. I interviewed the coach of the trap team because it is such a different and misunderstood sport, especially in a society that questions our Second Amendment rights. I asked him questions that required him to reflect…

“ 'Cause it 's the first of the month and now we smokin ', chokin ', rollin ' blunts” is a line from rap group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony’s song “1st of Tha Month”, telling how welfare recipients collect their benefits at the beginning of each month, only to go and purchase illegal substances (i.e. drugs): but how much of this holds true? (Bone Thugs-N-Harmony). Controversy has been stirred in recent years over this hot political topic of whether or not welfare recipients should be tested for drug…

Welfare is a very helpful program that helps support Americans with low-income. It’s nice to help those who can’t support their family because of financial issues. Although, it would be nice to support welfare recipients who work for their welfare check instead of those who sit down all day and expect the government to deal with their financial problems. Working for welfare makes sense because why should hardworking Americans give up money on pay checks that they’ve earned and give it to those…

basic needs are not met and someone who doesn’t want to get a job to support themselves will resort to crime. The biggest con of welfare today is the programs can change and change, but it still isn’t fixing the core problem, that people are in poverty. Welfare is in place because people don’t have equal opportunities. Until real equality between gender, race, and socioeconomic circumstances can be created through education. There will always be the rich and poor, but the gap continues to…

In almost all cases, the program of workfare does not “teach” those who engage in it work skills, as it had intended. Shannon Waits, an anti-poverty worker elaborates on the life of a parent on workfare in a published article. “Welfare parents are expected to do the impossible”, she writes. “They go off to work without backup childcare for below poverty wages. Some are refugees in new foreign land.” And yet, despite the struggles many on workfare face, employees like Wait are not supposed to…
