This document summarizes a presentation on understanding poverty. It discusses that poverty research focuses on individual behaviors, social capital, exploitation, and political/economic structures. It also notes that poverty occurs across all races and there are differences between generational/situational poverty. Schools often reflect middle-class norms that may not match students' backgrounds. Moving out of poverty requires education, relationships, and either having a goal, key relationship, or special skill.
The document discusses frameworks for understanding poverty from an economic perspective. It provides information on how family structures, attitudes, and hidden rules may differ across socioeconomic classes of poverty, middle class, and wealth. Key aspects that may vary include views of time, destiny, love, language, and motivations. The document suggests teachers directly teach hidden rules, acknowledge different rule sets, and understand students' perspectives to help in the classroom.
1) Intelligence tests and assessments are often culturally biased and measure acquired knowledge rather than innate ability. They are not always accurate measures of what students can achieve.
2) For learning to occur, students need cognitive skills to understand information as well as the ability to process, store, and access information. Teachers can help build these cognitive strategies through mediation.
3) There are various instructional interventions that can improve student achievement such as using graphic organizers, goal setting, hands-on learning, and having students generate their own questions about texts. Guiding students with high expectations, support, and insistence can also help.
1. The document discusses the framework for understanding poverty and outlines key points about different types of poverty.
2. It notes that poverty occurs across all races and that generational and situational poverty differ. Schools tend to operate from middle-class norms.
3. The document also discusses resources like financial, emotional, mental, and physical well-being as well as the importance of relationships, role models, and understanding hidden social rules for moving out of poverty.

Lightning Talk #9: How UX and Data Storytelling Can Shape Policy by Mika Aldabaux singapore
How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves?
Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling. Because the design of a chart can affect the interpretation of data in a major way, one must wield visual tools with care and deliberation. Using quantitative facts to evoke an emotional response is best achieved with the combination of UX and data storytelling.
This document summarizes a study of CEO succession events among the largest 100 U.S. corporations between 2005-2015. The study analyzed executives who were passed over for the CEO role ("succession losers") and their subsequent careers. It found that 74% of passed over executives left their companies, with 30% eventually becoming CEOs elsewhere. However, companies led by succession losers saw average stock price declines of 13% over 3 years, compared to gains for companies whose CEO selections remained unchanged. The findings suggest that boards generally identify the most qualified CEO candidates, though differences between internal and external hires complicate comparisons.
The document discusses research on poverty and the links between language, behavior, and poverty. It summarizes four major areas of research on poverty: behaviors of individuals, human and social capital in communities, exploitation, and political/economic structures. It also discusses how building relationships can help individuals overcome poverty by developing resiliency. Teachers are encouraged to build relationships with students from poverty through behaviors like calling on all students, providing help, and showing personal interest. Developing skills like emotional control, impulse control, self-efficacy, and empathy can also help build resiliency.

Ideas for a better world community based human centeric livingSumit Misra
This document proposes a model for community-based human-centered living focused on both internal and external transformation. It involves establishing Involved Citizens and Accountable Community Organizations (ICACOs) to address issues like jobs, poverty, education, health, the environment, and good governance from the community level up to the global level. The model also emphasizes individual internal transformation through practices like yoga, meditation, morality, and reducing negative attributes in order to strengthen character and move toward self-actualization. Both individual and collaborative efforts are seen as necessary to drive positive changes in communities, nations, and civilization as a whole.
the social determinants of mental illnessGreg Fell
This document discusses addressing the social determinants of mental illness and flipping the approach to mental health on its head. It makes four key points: (1) Most factors influencing mental well-being are outside the traditional health system; (2) Upstream social and economic factors matter more than downstream interventions; (3) All the proposed determinants are complex systems that interact; and (4) The default is to focus on symptoms over addressing root causes. It argues for a holistic, multi-sector approach to mental health that tackles issues like debt, employment, housing, and education.

Social Service or Social Change?
Who Benefits from your Worki
by P a u l K i v e l
copyright 2000
MY FIRST ANSWER TO THE QUESTION POSED IN THE TITLE is that
we need both, of course. We need to provide services for those
most in need, for those trying to survive, for those barely making
it. We need to work for social change so that we create a society in
which our institutions and organizations are equitable and just and
all people are safe, adequately fed, adequately housed, well
educated, able to work at safe, decent jobs, and able to participate
in the decisions that affect their lives.
Although the title of this article may be misleading in
contrasting social service provision and social change work, the
two do not necessarily go together easily and in many instances do
not go together at all. There are some groups working for social
change that are providing social service; there are many more
groups providing social services that are not working for social
change. In fact, many social service agencies may be intentionally
or inadvertently working to maintain the status quo.
The Economic Pyramid
I want to begin by providing a context for this discussion: the
present political/economic system here.
The document discusses how the human brain's ability to multitask has been impacted by modern technology. While technology has improved quality of life by making tasks more efficient, it has also conditioned the brain to expect instant answers from sources like the internet. This reduces independent thinking and problem-solving skills as people are less likely to contemplate questions themselves. Constant stimulation from multiple devices also physically changes brain organization and functioning over time.
Biokeyz is a technology company that holds the license for an advanced analysis technology in Southeast Asia called Bio-Photonic. Bio-Photonic can provide a comprehensive analysis of a person's health, intelligence, and psychological profiles using only a few strands of hair, fingernails, saliva, finger and palm scans. The analysis utilizes sampling and database techniques from the US, Germany, Russia, China, and other sources. It provides a non-invasive way to understand oneself and one's children at a deeper level in order to unlock their full potential and maximize their health, education, career opportunities, and relationships.
This document summarizes a booklet about rethinking education for the digital age. It highlights weaknesses in the current educational system, such as premature specialization, lack of structure and coordination with employers, and lack of passion for subject matter.

The document discusses strategies for marketing to baby boomers. It begins by providing statistics showing the size and spending power of the boomer demographic. It then discusses understanding boomers and establishing trust by listening to their needs and desires. The document outlines four approaches to age branding: age-denial, age-adaptive, age-irrelevant, and age-affirmative. It also provides tips for marketing to boomers such as cultivating relationships, being accessible experts, using a "give and go" communication strategy, and community outreach. Females over 40 are highlighted as key decision makers.
UAL L3 Creative Media Production Unit 4 Audience CategoriesKBucket
The document discusses various methods used to categorize target audiences for advertising and marketing purposes, including demographic and psychographic segmentation. Demographic categories include age, gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, etc. Psychographic models attempt to classify people by motivations and lifestyles, such as Maslow's hierarchy of needs and Young & Rubicam's 4Cs model that divides people into seven types based on core motivations. Understanding the target audience is crucial for effectively promoting and marketing products.
While inequality refers to differences between groups, inequity refers to unnecessary and avoidable differences that are unfair or unjust. Not all inequalities are unjust, but all inequities stem from unjust inequalities. Societal impacts of failing to remedy inequities and inequalities include feelings of helplessness, disenfranchisement, lack of concern for the disadvantaged, resentment towards systems, lack of global competitiveness, exploitation, and apathy. Litigation is in progress regarding state funding equity lawsuits.
Are You Really Doing Effective Prevention - from IADDA Conference 2014LEAD

The overall message is that social media needs to be used strategically to really impact audiences, especially young people, around issues like drug prevention.

1. The document discusses a marketing strategy for reaching the Asian segment in the US. It notes that multicultural markets like Hispanics, African Americans, and Asians now make up one-third of the US population and have a total purchasing power of $10.7 trillion.

3. The strategy outlines assessing cultural dimensions like power distance, individualism vs collectivism, and uncertainty avoidance to better understand Asian target segments. It also provides implications for marketing communication based on these cultural traits.

Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga-GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS-2024.pdfOsvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.
This is a workshop about class. It is a workshop about economic diversity. It is not about race because Ruby Payne's area of expertise is class, not race. This is simply about issues of class and about how class impacts so many of the things we see. Ruby took a job in Barrington, Illinois, as an elementary principal. Ninety-five percent of the parents were in the top 1 percent of household income in the United States. A myth we have in America is that if you're wealthy, you're smarter. The school had wealthy African Americans, Hispanics, Caucasians, Asians, and East Indians, and Ruby could not tell any difference among them. If they had a package of resources, they were doing equally well. The research is this: There is no difference in achievement levels of white and minority children if the net worth of the households is the same. They hired Ruby in Barrington because even though the children had so much money they weren't learning very well; their achievement scores were low. Ruby began researching what it is that makes a difference in learning. One day Ruby met a Russian man who was driving a limo. He had been a teacher in Russia, and his wife had been a medical doctor. They came to this country because of poor wages in Russia. He told Ruby, "If you have to work all day just to have enough money for food for one day for one person, that's what you're going to spend all your time doing. But if you can make enough money for food in one day to keep two people alive, that other person can do something besides survive and work." That story is a metaphor for this workshop. Learning takes time. You have to devote time to learning these things because many of them are unrelated to daily life, but people don't devote the time to learning that it needs. Most people keep the same mindsets, the same habits, the same belief systems they've always had—even when they don't need them anymore—unless one or two things happen: They get relationships, they get education.
There are four research bases for causes of poverty. The first is behaviors of the individual, i.e. that individual choices create poverty. The second is human and social capital in the community. For example, people can be all dressed up and make the right choices, but if there are no jobs in the community, that is a cause for poverty. The third is exploitation, such as racism, the sex trade, pay day lenders or pawn shops, all places where people are exploited. Lastly, social and economic structures. An example of this is when banks red-line a certain district and won’t give loans in that area. All of these are causes of poverty and all four research bases are valid.
So, our Framework training addresses behaviors of the individual and resources which are human and social capital in the community. When we teach students how to negotiate the school, we are teaching students how they can negotiate what the law requires in a way that works for them, without necessarily assimilating to it, and teach teachers how to adapt what they do to help their students be more successful. We don’t directly talk about exploitation, except in this way, that in being educated one is less likely to be exploited. Our Meeting Standards course looks at political and economic structures. The more that all four causes of poverty can be addressed, the more we can serve our communities. The bottom line is that there is a place for all of us to make our contribution to ending poverty.
Module 1The objective for Module 1 is to establish a mental framework for understanding economic realities.
What is the key point in this statement "Poverty is relative“? Would you be wealthy, middle class, or poor if you earned your current salary in New York City? The first point is that poverty is relative, and so is wealth. A lot of people will say to you, "We were poor growing up. Everybody was poor. We didn't think a thing about it." It is really relative to what you know. Many people in wealth will say to you, "You know, it's all on paper anyway." Or they'll cite someone who has more than they do. It's really relative to your situation.
Poverty occurs in all races. Poverty is increasing; the disparity between the wealthy and the poor is growing. This is the fourth time in the history of the United States that the disparity has been this great. The level of educational attainment and family structure correlates with the level of poverty: These two impact children the most. The second point is that poverty occurs in all races. All races have poor, wealthy, and middle class. What we know right now in the United States is that about the greatest number and the greatest percentage of people in poverty are children. A child is defined as anybody under the age of 18. Poverty in 2001 was established at $17,600 for a family of four. The greatest number of children in poverty are white, but the greatest percentage is by minority group. The minority group with the highest percentage of child poverty seems to be Native American, followed by African American, followed by Hispanic, followed by Asian, followed by Caucasian. About one of five of children in the U.S. is living in poverty. Child poverty is growing fastest in rural areas and first-ring suburbs. There are two reasons: education of parents and family structure. There are five main reasons for poverty in the United States. The first reason is the educational attainment level of the adult. The second reason: family structure. The third one is immigration. The fourth is language issues. And the fifth reason is the addiction issues of the adult or adults in the home.
Many of you are saying, "If I'm rich, where is the money?" Educators tend to compare their households to other people with like education. But if you compare it to the United States in general … $86,861 or more is the top 20 percent of U.S. households; $154,120 or more is the top 5 percent; $17,984 or less is the bottom 20 percent of households in the U.S. There is a relationship between wealth and education. African Americans in the last decade have had the highest percentage of people move into the middle class.
Generational and situational poverty are different. There is a distinction between generational and situational poverty: Generational means a person has been that way for two generations or more; situational poverty is when there is a death, a divorce, or an illness—and resources are temporarily reduced (college days or the first few years of teaching). There is as much difference in thinking between generational and situational poverty as there is between old and new money. Middle class equals education beyond high school; most people move one class in a lifetime. When you're moving from poverty to middle class or middle class to wealth, you're using part of the rules you grew up with and part of the rules you are moving to. But when you have been in poverty two generations, those are the only rules you know. They shape your thinking. Forty percent of American adults live in the class they were raised in. The term poverty in this workshop means generational: It has been that way for at least two generations.
The next point is about patterns. The longer the child is in poverty, the less opportunity there is for change. This is a pattern. If you talk about a group of people, you have to talk about their patterns. But if you apply those patterns to everybody in the group, you've stereotyped. That is not what this is about.
The patterns we're going to talk about are economic, because most schools operate from middle-class norms and values. [Use Rita's story about the boy who had no alarm clock.]
Shown on this diagram are the key points concerning patterns about poverty, middle class, and wealth. Remember, we are talking about patterns, not stereotypes. When we stereotype, we apply a pattern to everyone in the group. Be sure this is not the case. If you've been in that middle-class mindset two generations or more, virtually all your decision making is made against three things: work, achievement, and material security. Those three things shape middle-class lives every day. In wealth, your decision making is made against three things: social, financial, and political connections—for two reasons: No. 1, they keep you safe, and No. 2, they help you make more money. The rule about money is that you just don't talk about it. Investments yes, money no. After two generations in poverty, you don't have much stuff. Virtually all your decision making is made against three things: relationships, entertainment, and survival, because you have only one real possession, and that's people. Additional patterns in wealth : It is not OK not to be perfect. Details are very important. A person is not respected unless he/she has expertise. Rules do not apply to my child. Social exclusion is a key weapon of choice in wealth. Additional patterns in generational poverty : Noise level is higher. Important information is given non-verbally. Entertainment gives value to your group. Respect is given to those who are personally strong.
We are this rich piece of fabric that is very different from person to person. We have a thread that came from our race, our religion, the region of the country we grew up in, aging, economics, and cross-cultural threads like gender. Each of us in here brings with us a whole set of hidden rules. One of the areas we have hidden rules about is food. Food is very important because food is often the line between being destitute and merely being poor. The issue around food and poverty is quantity. The question after a meal is "Are you full? Did you have enough?" In middle class people have too much food. They're always on this or that diet. So the issue around food is quality. The questions after the meal are "Did you like it? Was it good?" In wealth the issue around food is presentation. The questions after a meal are "Was it artistically presented? Did it have aesthetic appeal? Did it go with the theme?" The big problem with hidden rules is that they're seldom articulated. But more importantly, they're equated with intelligence. Members of the group that has the most power, the most money, or the greatest number of people … believe that their hidden rules are the best. So if you don't use them, it's because you're either stupid or rude.
We're only looking at this one tiny thread in the fabric of an individual's life, and that's the thread around economics. There are many cultural differences, but Ruby says she doesn’t feel qualified to discuss them. This study is cross-cultural and focuses on economics.
What are we going to do about all of this? The thing people want to do is to be mad or to feel sorry. The problem is that neither of those approaches is going to help that particular student. Not everyone wants to be middle class, though just about everyone wants the money. This is about choice. There is no choice if you are not educated. At least a ninth-grade reading level is needed to make it out of poverty.
What we do is teach them (the students) that there are two sets of rules. If you're in a poor area and you can't physically fight, you're not going to make it. If you bring physical fighting into the school, you're out. We must teach students this: There are two sets of rules; you need more than one set. One of the myths of middle class is that everybody wants to be middle class, and that isn’t true. What just about everybody wants is more money. One of the myths of wealth is that everybody wants to be in wealth. No. Everybody wants more money—not necessarily the lifestyle. When you educate, you give choice. When you're educated, you can choose whether you want to make a change or not. But when you're not educated, you never even have the choice.
The dilemma is about time; a person has to choose. The reason many adults in poverty choose not to leave and why many students in school quit learning is this: To move from poverty to middle class or middle class to wealth, there's a period of time in there where you have to give up relationships for achievement, because you don't have enough time for both.
There are two key things that help one move out of poverty: education and relationships.
There tend to be four reasons one leaves poverty: * It’s too painful to stay * A vision or goal * A key relationship * A special talent or skill
Critical mass is the percentage of people that has to buy into an idea or product before it spreads rapidly. What we see in schools is this: When more than 40 percent of the student population is low-income, it's not unusual in those schools to get a student culture where it's not "cool" to achieve. Dr. James Comer, an African-American educator at Yale University, says this: "No significant learning occurs without a significant relationship of mutual respect." It is amazing that people think you will get learning without relationships of mutual respect. You won't. It's the primary motivator for learning. If there is mutual respect between a student and a teacher, these three things are present: No. 1: insistence. No. 2: high expectations. No. 3: support. Support is the "how-to-get-it-done" piece. Students will know you respect them when those pieces are there.
People are unsure of how to tell or work with students so they can get both achievement and relationships. Ruby likes to use these phrases: " You need to learn this " or " you need to do this " so you can be in control and respected. Control and respect are huge in poverty. " You need to learn this " or " you need to do this " so you can be smarter. Stories of heroes in generational poverty are either trickster heroes or anti-heroes (for example, Robin Hood) who go up against society and win. To be either of those heroes, you have to be smarter. Anything that will make you smarter is admired. " You need to learn this " or " you need to this " so you win more often. The preferred style of conflict resolution in poverty is win/lose because it's about survival. So anything that's going to help the students win really interests them. " You need to learn this or do this " so that you won't be cheated. People get cheated a lot more frequently in poverty. " You need to learn this or do this " so you'll be safe when you're old. Poor neighborhoods tend to be violent and, if you’re old, you're a prime target. " Yo u need to learn this or do this " because life is like a game. We get bad hands. It's this whole concept of how you're going to cope with situations. " You need to learn this or do this " because the mind is a tool or weapon that no one can take away from you. A technique that Ruby has had principals use involves the concept of how important relationships are to learning. One principal took a group of 40 extremely at-risk students and paired them with a faculty member who spent 5-10 minutes every day with them. The school's state assessments scores went up 30 points in one year. In another case the principal had 133 staff members pair up with students who had never passed the state assessment. At the end of the year, 88 out of 133 students passed for the first time. It's simply having that relationship of mutual respect. Frequently, it’s the phrases we use with the students that show support. This is about power and winning; your mind is a tool or a weapon; you will be safe when you are old.
Module 2The objectives for Module 2 are to analyze the eight resources of an individual and make interventions based on the resources that are present, to understand that failure is often related to missing pieces, and to identify ways to provide missing resources. Typical questions ノ * "Why do some people make it out of poverty, while others don't?"* "Those people have so much money, and they are so miserable. Why?"* "We made an intervention. It didn't work. Why not?" * "Look, if I made it out of poverty, anybody can; why can't they?" The answer to all of these questions depends on how many of the eight resources are present.If you make interventions based on resources that aren ユ t available to an individual, they're not going to work. You must identify ways to provide missing resources.
Resources If you have fewer than three resources, you will be more likely to make poor choices. Of these resources, which one in the research makes the biggest difference in lifelong learning? It's relationships/role models. In the research in his brilliant book The Growth of the Mind Stanley Greenspan shows that almost no learning occurs without a significant relationship. It just doesn't happen. This is the same point Dr. Comer made earlier. Among wealthy students, Ruby found this is the resource (relationships/role models) that they usually don't have. The irony of this is: That's the one resource on the list money can't buy. Which one of these do you think makes the biggest difference in your lifelong stability? It's emotional resources. It's the ability to be alone when times are bad and not be destructive—to self or others. You get a lot of your emotional resources from relationships. Emotional resources involve the internal line that we don't cross when we're angry. Which one would you guess makes the biggest difference in school success? It's really support systems, which are not just money and friends but know-how. That's why the research is that there's no difference between minority and white achievement if the net worth of the household is the same. Net worth speaks to the level of the support system. The way a support system shows up in school is in homework and projects. Support systems include such things as health insurance, knowledge base, friends, and family. Do you have someone who can help you out with it when you cannot or do not want to do it? Why would spiritual resources be on this list? They give hope. The second thing is this: In the resiliency research on adults who have made it out of very difficult situations, one of the high, high correlates is they had a strong belief in a higher power. Mental resources are on this list, and they just mean you read, write, and compute. What mental resources really give you is the ability to know whether or not the information you have is correct. Inappropriate behavior usually begins when some of these are missing. Students may want you to focus on their behavior rather than on their lack of academic skills. Physical resources means your body works. It does not mean you have a car. If you have ever been sick and aggravated that you couldn't get up and do something you needed to do, you know what a difference physical resources can make.
Resource Analysis In your workbook are 14 case studies. Read the first case study (Sally and SueAnn) with your neighbor. What resources are in this household? We usually look at household resources. Let's talk about money before we talk about resources. There are two issues in money and poverty. One is when you don't manage what you have. The other one is when there's not enough. Let's look at SueAnn and Sally's resources. Are there financial resources there? No. Emotional? No, because Mom can't live without a man. Mental resources. Yes, SueAnn can read, write, and compute. Spiritual? It doesn't say. Physical? Yes. Support system? It isn ' t good. Relationships/role models? SueAnn loves her children … she works two jobs … she's not there.
This chart shows the scenario characters and the resources that are available. This can be shown after the participants have completed the Resource Analysis chart and discussion is complete.
These are the questions to ask about resources.
For interventions to be successful, use the resources that are there, then augment those resources. Example: If students do not have homework help available at home, maybe the school people can start a program at school to help with homework.
