The document discusses the impacts of poverty on individuals, society, and across generations. It describes how poverty affects a family of six living in Hong Kong in 200 square feet. The family struggles with limited income, cramped living conditions, and inability to afford extras. The children find free entertainment but lack space for homework. Despite difficulties, the family enjoys strong relationships. Poverty is said to increase societal problems long-term by limiting opportunities and perpetuating hardship across generations through low education and opportunity.

Homelessness in America by Colin Henry
This document is a paper on homelessness written by Colin Henry for his SOCS 185 course. It discusses various aspects of homelessness including definitions, causes, demographics of the homeless population, personal experiences, economics, social attitudes, and potential solutions. The paper examines trends over the last 20-30 years that have contributed to rising homelessness such as a shortage of affordable housing, stagnating wages, cuts to welfare programs, and a growing impersonality in how government agencies address the issue.
Fred and Gina: Case Study
Fred, 30, and Gina, 25, have announced their engagement. Fred works in a record store and lives with roommates, while Gina still attends college and lives with her parents. Both Fred and Gina have learning disabilities. While they want to live independently, friends and family are concerned about their ability to budget, keep their home clean and safe, and protect their privacy and safety online and in public.
Research paper homelessness
The document discusses homelessness and its causes. It notes that homelessness means more than just not having a place to sleep and can disrupt one's connections, education, and health. Common causes of homelessness include being released from the hospital or prison with no home, inability to afford housing costs, family crises, and inability to pay rent. It is difficult to determine the total number of homeless people but it is estimated that 1 in 3 are under 18, with 1.6-1.7 million youth experiencing homelessness annually. The document urges helping the homeless through donations of money or kindness, and not forgetting about their plight.
Lesson 6 - What you should learn?
Economic globalization has led to increased unemployment as multinational corporations seek to reduce costs through international division of labor and moving factories to lower cost locations. While this allows corporations to maximize profits, it has adverse effects on low-skilled and manufacturing workers. Even high-tech and research jobs are outsourced as long as a place can offer higher cost effectiveness. Additionally, globalization increases the threat of unemployment across different job types. Economic interdependence has also grown as globalization supports continuous growth but makes economies more vulnerable to external factors, such as downturns negatively impacting trading partners like Southeast Asian countries experienced after the weak 2001-2002 American economy.
Vocab WS Unit 6
The document is a vocabulary worksheet about political globalization that contains matching and fill-in-the-blank questions. The matching section asks students to match terms like "negotiation", "policies", and "population mobility" with their Chinese translations. The fill-in-the-blank section presumably asks students to complete sentences using vocabulary related to concepts like international cooperation, infectious diseases, and intergovernmental organizations.
Lesson 2 - Is poverty a personal problem? (1D)
This document discusses a role-playing activity about poverty in Hong Kong. It introduces four characters - a single mother, a construction worker, a retired person, and a former factory worker now working as a cleaner - and their reasons for being poor, including personal factors and social factors. It also discusses how the less educated face challenges changing jobs due to lack of qualifications and experience, and how contract/casual staff systems can restrict income, labor protections, and career development, perpetuating poverty.
Lesson 1 - Why Does the Poverty Problem Occur? (1D)
This document discusses the causes of poverty in Hong Kong. It identifies two main types of factors that can lead to poverty: personal factors and social factors. Personal factors include health problems, loss of ability to work, and family care responsibilities. Social factors include economic restructuring reducing low-skilled jobs, unemployment or underemployment of low-skilled workers, and marginalized workers facing unstable employment, long hours, low pay, and poor working conditions. The document defines marginal workers as those in low-skilled, undesirable jobs with low wages and lack of protections who experience unemployment or underemployment.
Lesson 3 - Video about the poverty problem in HK
The document discusses poverty issues in Hong Kong based on a video about a poor family. Structural factors like inflation, factories moving to China, and outsourcing contributed to the family's poverty. The young boy in the video likely faced challenges meeting basic needs and participating in school activities due to lack of resources. He took measures like buying cheap food and joining subsidized activities to cope with his poor situation.

Lesson 5 - Revision
The document discusses several ways that individuals, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and the government can help poor families. Individuals can donate money and resources to poor families. NGOs can provide tutoring services to children in poor families. The government can offer more training courses to people who have low skills and low education levels.
GEOMETRY AROUND US
Geometry is a branch of mathematics concerned with shapes, sizes, and relative positions of figures and objects in space. Some key concepts in geometry include points, lines, planes, angles, and shapes. Geometry has been studied and applied since ancient times, with important developments in geometry made by ancient Greek mathematicians like Thales, Pythagoras, and Euclid. Geometry has many practical applications in fields like construction, engineering, and space exploration.
Sexual Education In Greece
The document discusses sexual education projects that can be run in Greek secondary schools. Teachers who are interested in leading such projects must apply for approval from the regional Bureau of Education. The Ministry of Education then officially approves the projects. One type of project that is allowed under "Health Education" is sexual education. However, getting students to participate can be challenging, as discussing sexual topics openly makes some students uncomfortable or giggly at first.
Sexual Education
Comprehensive sexual education programs are more effective than abstinence-only programs at reducing teen pregnancy and STD rates. Abstinence-only programs teach that abstaining from sex is the only way to avoid pregnancy and STDs, and have teens take a "virginity pledge." However, only a third of teens who take the pledge actually abstain from sex. Comprehensive programs teach abstinence as the best option but also educate about contraceptives. Teens receiving comprehensive education are less likely to report unplanned pregnancy, and are more likely to delay sex or have less frequent sexual activity.
Lesson 4 - Allegations against Nike
- Nike has over 700 contract manufacturers in more than 50 countries employing over 500,000 workers who have faced allegations of rights violations since the 1980s.
- Cases from the 1990s in Indonesia, Pakistan, and Vietnam involved wages below minimum, child labor, and toxic working conditions in Nike's supply chain.
- Further allegations in the late 90s/early 2000s included underpayment, overwork, retaliation against unions, and abuse of women workers.
polygons!?!
This document discusses the differences between regular and irregular polygons. A regular polygon is a closed shape made up of straight lines of equal length, while an irregular polygon does not have equal side lengths. The document provides examples of regular polygons and asks if shapes are regular or irregular polygons.
Math Geometry Guide
This document provides an overview of basic geometry concepts including lines, angles, triangles, quadrilaterals, circles, and other polygons. It defines key terms such as points, lines, rays, line segments, perpendicular and parallel lines. It also defines different types of angles, triangles based on side lengths, properties of quadrilaterals, parts of circles like the diameter and radius, and polygons with 3 to 10 sides. The document is intended as a reference for basic geometry terms and shapes.
Life orientation Development of the self in society grade 11
This document discusses life orientation topics for grade 11, including life goals, problem solving skills, and healthy lifestyle choices. It defines short-term and long-term goals, and explains why goals are important for taking control of one's life, focusing efforts, and making progress. Problem solving skills are outlined, including defining the problem, gathering facts, evaluating alternatives, selecting the best option, implementing it, and following up. The document also discusses the importance of a balanced diet with necessary nutrients and regular exercise for health.
Sex education
Sex education provides information to youth about human sexuality, sexual health, and relationships. It aims to enable young people to develop healthy attitudes and make informed decisions about their sexual behavior. Sex education begins before puberty and covers topics like sexual anatomy, reproduction, relationships, contraception, and sexually transmitted infections. It takes place both in and out of school through various programs and discussions.
Poverty
This document discusses poverty, including its various definitions, types, and measurements. It defines poverty as a lack of basic human needs like food, shelter, and clothing. There are two main types of poverty - absolute and relative. Poverty is commonly measured using indicators like the headcount ratio, poverty gap index, and squared poverty gap index. The document also outlines some characteristics and impacts of poverty like effects on health, hunger, education, housing, and violence. It provides statistics on global poverty and discusses strategies for reducing poverty.
Sex Education
The document discusses different approaches to sex education in schools. It considers abstinence-only education and comprehensive sex education (known as "abstinence-plus") that teaches both abstinence and contraception use. The document argues that the abstinence-plus approach is best as it gives students all the information while still promoting abstinence, and that sex education should start in elementary school and continue through high school with age-appropriate curricula.
Poverty slideshow
Poverty deprives people of basic needs like food, water, shelter, and clothes. It is caused by a lack of education, natural disasters, lack of money, greed, lack of opportunities, overpopulation, and addictions like drugs and alcohol. The harsh truth is that over 3 billion people live on less than $2.50 a day, 1 in 2 children live in poverty, and 22,000 children die daily due to poverty. Solutions include reducing war, increasing government assistance, and promoting education and opportunities through donations and aid.

1. The document discusses several social problems and issues in the Philippines including prostitution, domestic violence, unemployment, environmental pollution, graft and corruption, and educational issues.
2. It defines key terms related to each topic and provides background information on causes and effects. For example, it discusses how poverty, lack of opportunities, and family conflicts can lead to prostitution.
3. Across several sections, the document also notes social issues that disproportionately impact rural areas, such as lack of access to prevention programs, pollution from waste mismanagement, and lower quality schooling resources compared to urban centers.
Visual Project
This document contains 20 questions related to various sociological topics such as marriage, gender roles, religion, education, criminal justice, voting, social class, child development, environmentalism, and teenage pregnancy. The questions explore how social factors like income, gender, place of origin, and social class can influence behaviors and outcomes in these areas. Overall, the document examines how society and social norms shape many aspects of people's lives.
Material deprivation theory of education
Material deprivation refers to a lack of economic or material resources. Poor diet is linked to poor educational achievement as it can cause weakened immune systems, lower energy levels, more illness, and difficulties concentrating - leading to more time off school. Inadequate housing can make it harder to excel in school by crowding homes and disturbing sleep, which makes concentration difficult. It can also mean frequent moves and changes in school. There is a "hidden cost of free schooling" as poor families cannot afford necessary school equipment, which impacts self-esteem and can lead to bullying. Cultural factors like parental expectations and home environment also play a role, but material deprivation is only part of the explanation for differences in educational achievement as some children from poor

Ed 502 State of America
This document summarizes the state of America's children across several key issues:
1. The child population is becoming more diverse, with children of color projected to become the majority by 2016. This shift will impact schools, communities, and funding for education and social programs.
2. Poverty disproportionately affects children of color and can become chronic without access to quality education and job training programs. Federal programs have helped reduce poverty but more can be done.
3. Lack of access to healthcare and nutrition negatively impacts child development and educational outcomes. Government programs have expanded access but more eligible children need to enroll and utilize services.
4. Early childhood education is critical but not consistently available. Investing in early learning
Child labour
Child labor deprives children of their childhood and education, instead forcing them to work under hazardous conditions. While poverty is a main driver of child labor globally, it also stems from societal, parental, governmental, and economic factors in India like low wages, unemployment, and social prejudices. Child labor stunts children's development, creates long-term poverty, and perpetuates an undercutting of wages across generations. The main causes are poverty, parental illiteracy, family skill traditions, a lack of primary education, and social acceptance of the practice.
family health paper
This document discusses the concept of family and how societal definitions of family have changed over time. Traditionally, family was defined as a married mother and father living together with their children. However, concepts of family have expanded and today many types of family structures are accepted as normal, including single parent homes and same-sex couples raising children. The document also examines how societal expectations of family, gender roles, and marriage have evolved since World War II.

Working Thesis Statement
Cyberbullying is a complex predicament that is known around the globe. It is an issue that humans faces emotionally, yet it goes unnoticed. A psychology state of mind, a hateful way to get into someone’s mind using harsh languages to benefit someone else for the greater good.
Starting Draft
“Brandon Turley didn't have friends in sixth grade. He would often eat alone at lunch, having recently switched to his school without knowing anyone. While browsing MySpace one day, he saw that someone from school had posted a bulletin -- a message visible to multiple people -- declaring that Turley was a "fag." Students he had never even spoken with wrote on it, too, saying they agreed. Feeling confused and upset, Turley wrote in the comments, too, asking why his classmates would say that. The response was even worse: He was told on MySpace that a group of 12 kids wanted to beat him up, that he should stop going to school and die. On his walk from his locker to the school office to report what was happening, students yelled things like "fag" and "fatty." "It was just crazy, and such a shock to my self-esteem that people didn't like me without even knowing me," said Turley, now 18 and a senior in high school in Oregon. "I didn't understand how that could be." (Elizabeth Landau, 2018)”
Talk about how Turley feels when his fellow classmates discuss such a little word that means so much harm in the making. How long do you think that Turley could recover from this? Imagine one of your friend, weather your friend is a child or an adult going through a similar experience but through Facebook or Facebook messages. Would you be able to speak out on the behalf of yourself and realize what is happening? Cyberbullying is a complex predicament that we face around the globe. It is an issue that everyone faces emotionally, somehow it goes unnoticed.

Child Poverty In America
Child poverty is a significant problem, especially in the United States and United Kingdom. Approximately one third of children in the US and one third of children in the UK live in poverty. Poverty negatively impacts children's health, education, development, and well-being. Government policies and social programs aim to reduce child poverty rates and improve outcomes for impoverished children. However, fully addressing child poverty remains an ongoing challenge.

Family and school represent the primary institutions that structure children’s lives. When family is not able to provide the safety and stability a child needs, that child’s school performance may suffer. Social workers are called to bridge the worlds of school and home with the role of ensuring that families have the support needed for their children to be able to succeed in the academic environment.
To prepare consider the following scenario:
Jon, a 9-year-old African American boy, was removed from his home due to maltreatment and placed in a foster home headed by a Caucasian lesbian couple. The social worker is considering permanency planning. The foster family loves Jon and would be willing to adopt him. Jon likes his foster family but wants to return to his biological family. Due to his biological parents’ substance abuse, it is not clear whether or not they will be able to regain custody.
Explain the developmental and ecological factors that need to be taken into consideration when serving this child and family.
What might be the role(s) of a social worker in supporting Jon and both his biological and foster families?

Family and school represent the primary institutions that structure.docx
Family and school are the primary institutions that shape children's lives. When family cannot provide stability, a child's academic performance may suffer. Social workers must bridge the gap between home and school to ensure families receive support so children can succeed. For a 9-year-old boy placed in foster care due to abuse, the social worker must consider the child's development and needs of both families in planning for his future.

This document discusses how understanding one's own class position is important for meaningful discussions about wealth and power. It provides a series of questions to help people reflect on how factors like family income, housing, parents' jobs, education levels, shopping experiences, and leisure activities have been influenced by class.
