This document explores the feasibility of establishing affordable housing cooperatives in Milwaukee for low and moderate income residents. Key findings from a preliminary market analysis show that median income in Milwaukee County fell by 10.3% from 2005 to 2014. Over half of occupied homes in the city of Milwaukee are renter-occupied. The document recommends that affordable housing cooperatives cater to families overburdened by housing costs, especially women of color with children. Locating cooperatives in areas with economic need for subsidized housing could help address Milwaukee's shortage of affordable options.
The document discusses homelessness in the United States. It provides statistics on the number of homeless people annually and the primary causes of homelessness including lack of affordable housing, income, support systems, and disabilities. It also discusses ways to help the homeless population including emergency shelters, job opportunities, and healthcare access as well as current rates and demographics of homelessness.
The document summarizes research from Wilkinson & Pickett's book "The Spirit Level" showing correlations between income inequality and various social problems. It presents data demonstrating that countries and US states with higher income inequality have worse health, social, and educational outcomes, even when controlling for average national income. The findings suggest that greater equality benefits societies overall and that inequality itself is psychologically and socially harmful.
Corruption, lack of education, environmental degradation, lack of employment opportunities, armed conflicts, inequitable distribution of wealth and resources, overconsumption, greed, and an inequitable political system are listed as causes of poverty. Solutions proposed include creating good jobs, improving access to education and healthcare, raising wages, microfinancing, increasing transparency in government spending, and canceling national debts.
The document describes a Challenge Day program that will be held at East Cobb Middle School from January 6-9, 2009. The program aims to address issues like violence, racism, and social oppression through experiential exercises that help students break down barriers and develop respect and communication. It provides background on the nonprofit organization that facilitates the program and estimates the total cost of the 4-day event will be approximately $20,442.
AIDS has ravaged Africa, producing millions of orphans by striking entire families. The disease is exacerbated by problems like hunger, lack of clean water, and poverty. However, efforts like providing affordable medicine, testing and treatment, microloans to support women starting businesses, and involvement from leaders and celebrities are helping to ease the suffering and encourage others to help the millions of orphaned children who are alone, hungry, sick, and in need of support.
Water and the Rotary-USAID International H2O Collaboration presentationRotary Zones 25/26
The document summarizes a presentation about the Rotary-USAID International H2O Collaboration partnership. It discusses the global issues of lack of access to clean water and sanitation. Over 900 million people lack access to clean drinking water and 2.5 billion lack basic sanitation. The partnership between Rotary and USAID aims to address these problems through collaborative projects in the Dominican Republic, Ghana, and Philippines. The projects focus on installing water systems, latrines, and hygiene training. The partnership represents a model of co-funding, co-designing, and co-managing development projects between non-profit and government organizations.
This document provides an overview of poverty topics that will be covered in an introductory sociology of poverty course. It defines the poverty line in the US as an annual income of $24,257 for a family of four in 2015. Nearly half of the world's population lives on less than $2.50 per day, with over 1 billion in extreme poverty. The course aims to examine individual and structural explanations for poverty in the US through a sociological lens.

This presentation focuses on American poverty. The presentation defines and addresses the issue of poverty in it's entirety as well as offers solutions to the problem.
This document discusses poverty, including its causes, effects, and the poverty cycle. It defines absolute and relative poverty. The causes of poverty discussed include theories that the poor have little concern for the future or engage in self-defeating behaviors. The effects of poverty on children include higher rates of health problems, accidents, and missed school. Poverty also increases stress levels in families. The cycle of poverty refers to how poverty can span generations as those in poverty lack the resources to escape it.
This document provides an overview of the causes of poverty from three major sociological perspectives: functionalist, conflict, and interactionist. It discusses how functionalists view poverty as serving a purpose for society by discouraging those who do not contribute, while conflict theorists see it as a result of inequality and the struggle between social classes. The interactionist perspective focuses on how people internalize their social circumstances through daily interactions. The document also outlines various policies aimed at reducing poverty through full employment, education/training programs, income support, and collective action by the poor.
This document summarizes the history of poverty in America from the industrialization era to modern times. It discusses how poverty is measured officially using poverty thresholds that vary by family size and composition. The document also outlines government assistance programs like Medicaid, Medicare, CHIP, and the Affordable Care Act, as well as initiatives like Promise Zones to help reduce poverty. Maps show higher poverty rates exist in more populated areas and cities.
Child poverty is a serious issue globally. Over 1 billion children worldwide live in poverty without adequate shelter, water, health services, or immunization. Poverty negatively impacts children's development and health, with poor children being twice as likely to have stunted growth. Living in poverty also takes a psychological toll on children and parents, adding stress and sometimes leading to disrupted parenting. If child poverty is not addressed, it risks perpetuating an intergenerational cycle where the children of poor children become poor themselves, negatively impacting communities and societies. Addressing child poverty requires action and inspiration to change conditions for children worldwide.
Poverty in America is a slideshow final I did to bring awareness to the rising issue of Poverty for one of my Human Service classes. Again, I hope to demonstrate my ability and dedication.
Poverty became more visible in the U.S. during the 1960s Civil Rights era but attention has fluctuated since. While official poverty rates count 15% of Americans as poor, the actual number with incomes insufficient for basic needs is much higher. Poverty has remained consistently high over 40 years despite some declines, and the poor face greater social exclusion and barriers to socioeconomic mobility than past generations. A structural perspective that considers economic, political, and social forces outside an individual's control best explains the causes and persistence of poverty in America.
This document discusses the causes of poverty in Pakistan. It identifies several key causes, including unemployment, inflation, corruption, poor governance, overpopulation, a backward agricultural system, and child labor. Unemployment is a major issue, with over 30 million unemployed, and inflation is also a problem as prices have risen significantly. Corruption and unequal distribution of resources also contribute to poverty. Poor governance, law and order issues, a lack of education, and other factors perpetuate poverty in Pakistan.
MO*lezing Richard Wilkinson: "Waarom gelijkheid beter is voor iedereen"Mondiaal nieuws
Op dinsdag 12 april 2011 gaf professor Richard Wilkinson in een uitverkochte Beursschouwburg een boeiende MO*lezing over gelijkheid en ongelijkheid. Ondersteund door heel wat onderzoek betoogde hij dat samenlevingen met meer inkomensongelijkheid meer gezondheids- en sociale problemen hebben. Bekijk hier zijn powerpointvoorstelling.
The document discusses poverty globally and in specific regions and countries. It begins by defining poverty and providing statistics on its global prevalence. It then examines poverty levels and causes in developing countries, Haiti, Africa, and the United States. Several charitable organizations that provide aid to reduce poverty are also mentioned. Theories like conflict theory and structural functionalism are used to explain causes and functions of poverty in societies.
The outdoor recreation economy is a $730 billion annual industry in the US that supports nearly 6.5 million jobs. In Virginia specifically, it is an $18.7 billion industry that employs 210,000 people and provides $1.2 billion in state and local tax revenue. The document then outlines some of Virginia's outdoor assets like national parks, trails, and lakes that attract recreation, before discussing identifying opportunities, building local support through community outreach, and building the national image to attract more outdoor enthusiasts.
Poverty is defined as a lack of money that prevents one from affording basic human needs like food, shelter, and healthcare, affecting over 1.7 billion people worldwide. Some key causes of poverty include debt, corruption, overpopulation, and weak economies. Poverty negatively impacts people's health, access to education, housing stability, and can even cause skilled workers to leave their home country in search of better opportunities elsewhere.
Iowa has an aging population that is projected to grow significantly, ranking high among states for its percentage of elderly residents. The document outlines key resources that support aging adults in Iowa, including housing such as nursing homes and assisted living; transportation such as public bus systems and paratransit; medical services such as Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance; and social support through clubs, volunteering, and senior centers. As Iowa's population continues to age, increased resources will be needed to support the growing elderly population.
The document discusses various ways to help address extreme poverty around the world. It notes that over 12% of people in the US live in poverty, compared to over 70% in Congo who suffer from malnutrition. While the US provides foreign aid, some of it has been misused or stolen by corrupt government officials in places like Afghanistan. The document proposes increasing education and awareness, encouraging donations even of small amounts, and investigating organizations working on issues like the IMF, World Bank, trade policies, and development programs in order to most effectively help reduce global poverty.
Low literacy levels can negatively impact individuals' social and emotional development. Socially, low literacy is linked to lower income and employment, higher rates of poverty, and increased likelihood of involvement in the criminal justice system. Emotionally, low literacy can inhibit children's development and perpetuate intergenerational cycles of illiteracy, as well as cause feelings of exclusion. Low literacy also poses health and safety risks by making comprehension of important instructions and materials difficult.
The document identifies the top 10 contributing factors to the caregiving crisis in America: 1) an aging population, 2) changing family trends like more two-income households and single-person homes, 3) a fragmented healthcare system, 4) insufficient funding and planning for long-term care, 5) a lack of financial and emotional support for caregivers, 6) caregiver resistance to accepting support, 7) high rates of caregiver insomnia, anxiety and depression, 8) increased medical problems among caregivers, 9) family ambivalence and divisiveness around care plans, and 10) caregiver isolation and withdrawal due to a lack of adequate support systems.
The document discusses the state of financial literacy in America, finding that many students take on significant credit card and student loan debt without having received financial education. It notes that only a small percentage of students have taken a personal finance course, and that the average amount of discretionary income for American households is low while savings rates have declined sharply in recent decades.
This document outlines a campaign to reduce waste generated during student move-out times. It notes that currently recyclables, reusable goods, and hazardous waste are improperly disposed of at curbsides. This causes blight in neighborhoods, waste of reusable goods, and environmental hazards. The campaign aims to better manage waste at move-out times by educating students on proper disposal and providing alternatives to curbside dumping. It lists contacts for the campaign planning team that is coordinating efforts between the University of Minnesota, the city of Minneapolis, and local organizations.

The document discusses engineering drawings and engineering curves. It provides definitions and uses of different types of engineering curves including conics, cycloids, involutes, spirals, helices, and sine and cosine curves. Specifically, it describes the different conic sections - ellipse, parabola, hyperbola - obtained from intersecting a right circular cone with cutting planes in different positions. Methods for drawing ellipses are also outlined.
Ship breaking involves dismantling old ships for scrap recycling and allows recovered materials like steel to be reused. Most ship breaking now occurs in developing countries due to lower costs. Ships contain hazards like asbestos, heavy metals, and oils that can harm humans and the environment if not handled properly. The largest ship breaking yards are located in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Turkey. While ship breaking provides economic benefits, the work is dangerous and the dismantling process often causes pollution without proper environmental protections and waste disposal.
This topic is all about Glaciation. This includes; the causes of glaciation, the origin of glaciers, formation, primary types, movement, the erosional, transportation and depositional mechanisms. This also includes the common landforms brought by glaciers.
Wind erosion can occur through abrasion, deflation, and wind transportation processes. There are four main types of wind deposition: most common is barchan dunes which need constant wind in one direction; parabolic dunes are common near coasts with moderate winds; transverse dunes form under strong winds blowing constantly in one direction; and longitudinal dunes occur where winds blow in two directions with limited sand supply.
Fossils are the remains or traces of ancient organisms preserved in rock or sediment. They form through fossilization, the process where an organism becomes preserved over time. There are several types of fossils including frozen or dried bodies, fossils preserved in amber or tar, preserved or replaced bones and shells, petrified organisms, molds and casts, and carbonized impressions. For an organism to become fossilized, it typically must die in an oxygen-free environment and be rapidly buried, which helps preserve hard parts. Fossils are classified according to their morphology alone and by comparing them to known organisms. Common invertebrate fossils include trilobites, gastropods, bivalves, brachiopods, cr
Freshwater ecology is the study of freshwater ecosystems and their organisms. Freshwater habitats can be classified as lentic, such as lakes and ponds, or lotic, such as rivers and streams. Lentic habitats are characterized by still water while lotic habitats have flowing water. Organisms in freshwater ecosystems are limited by factors like temperature, current, transparency, gas and nutrient concentrations, and inhabit zones based on their mode of life such as benthic, planktonic, or nektonic.
Thermal pollution is defined as the addition of excess heat to water that makes it harmful to aquatic life. Thermal pollution is caused by the discharge of heated water or hot waste material into water bodies from various sources like nuclear power plants, industrial effluents, domestic sewage, hydroelectric power plants, and coal fired power plants. The document discusses the impacts of thermal pollution from these sources and some control measures that can be implemented like cooling towers, cooling ponds, spray ponds, and artificial lakes.
The document discusses the definition and causes of poverty. It defines poverty as lacking basic needs like food, shelter, healthcare, education and job opportunities. According to UNICEF, 22,000 children die daily due to poverty. The poorest 40% of the world's population accounts for only 5% of global income, while the richest 20% accounts for three-quarters of it. Causes of poverty include overpopulation, unequal distribution of resources, lack of education and employment opportunities, and environmental issues. Children who grow up in poverty often face health and developmental problems. The document recommends addressing poverty through providing food, healthcare, shelter, education, and helping victims start self-sustaining projects.

This document discusses poverty from historical and future perspectives. It outlines four dimensions of poverty: material limit, psychological damage, social exclusion, and political powerlessness. Historically, capitalism led to more poverty as serfs were cast out of feudal systems and had to find work. While some gains have been made against absolute poverty, inequality remains a huge problem. To fully address poverty, both economic and political systems will need significant reform to provide justice, opportunity and basic needs for all people.
The document discusses poverty around the world. It defines poverty as a lack of basic needs including food, shelter, water, education, and healthcare. Poverty can be absolute, with income below a minimum level to afford basic needs, or relative, with income 50% below the average. The document then lists causes of poverty such as corruption, lack of education, overpopulation, and economic issues. Effects of poverty include problems with health, society, and the economy. Some solutions proposed are creating jobs, access to services, empowering women, and microfinancing. In 2015, 10% of the world lived in extreme poverty of less than $1.90 per day.

It asks questions about approaches to alleviating poverty. Finally, it mentions the Shepherd Higher Education Consortium which brings together institutions to collaborate on poverty education.
The document provides an overview of child poverty around the world. It defines poverty as the lack of basic necessities like food, water, shelter, education and healthcare. The causes of poverty include natural disasters, diseases, economic factors and social issues. Poverty is happening in developing regions of Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East. In the US, over 35 million people live in poverty. Locally in Philadelphia and Montgomery County, poverty rates are over 20%. The document outlines some of the negative effects of poverty on children and discusses organizations working to help reduce poverty.
This document discusses world hunger and poverty. It provides facts about the number of people living in poverty or going hungry. It then examines the root causes of world hunger, including gender discrimination, population growth, conflict, and political instability. The effects of chronic hunger are also outlined, such as increased risk of infection, infant mortality, and obstacles to economic growth. Finally, the document defines and compares different concepts of poverty, such as absolute, relative, and hardcore poverty.

It specifically covers poverty, including definitions of absolute and relative poverty, characteristics of poverty such as health, hunger, education and housing issues. Causes of poverty mentioned include lack of economic growth, natural disasters, and socioeconomic disparities. Effects include intergenerational poverty and lack of opportunities to improve quality of life. The document also discusses poverty in Pakistan, noting that over 58 million Pakistanis live below the poverty line. Key causes of poverty in Pakistan are identified as government policies, corruption, inflation, smuggling, overpopulation, unemployment, and security issues. Methods for reducing poverty focus on increasing access to basic needs like food, healthcare and education, as well
Poverty is a complex issue with no single agreed upon definition. While definitions aim to set boundaries, they are also limited and subject to criticism. Traditionally, poverty was defined by a single dimension like income or consumption, but modern definitions take a multidimensional approach considering factors like health, education and standard of living. Amartya Sen's capability approach is influential, defining poverty not just as lack of income but lack of ability to live a minimally good life. Overall, accurately defining and measuring poverty remains an ongoing debate with important implications for policymaking.
The document provides an overview of child poverty around the world. It defines poverty, discusses the causes and types of poverty, and where it is occurring globally including in developing countries, the United States, and locally. The document also outlines some of the effects of poverty on children including lack of basic needs, health issues, and barriers to education. It concludes by suggesting ways to help address poverty such as fundraising or supporting charitable organizations.
Poverty is a widespread problem affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide. It is defined as living on less than $1.90 per day. The causes of poverty include unemployment, lack of access to education and social services, and events like the COVID-19 pandemic. Effects of poverty include limited access to healthcare, higher crime rates, and intergenerational poverty. Solutions involve financial assistance for healthcare and education, investment in nutrition programs, and humanitarian relief efforts. Recommendations are improving access to healthcare in rural areas, increasing employment opportunities, reducing corruption, and providing basic health and nutrition education.
Poverty is defined as not having enough resources to meet basic needs like food, shelter, and clothing. The World Bank describes poverty as hunger, lack of shelter, inability to access healthcare or education. Poverty has many causes including lack of jobs or livelihoods, inequality, lack of education, climate change, and lack of infrastructure. Effects of poverty include poor health from diseases like malaria and tuberculosis, increased crime rates, lack of education, and unemployment. Addressing poverty requires individual and societal action.

Poverty is defined as lacking basic needs like food, water, shelter, and clothing. It means having little to no money or resources. Poverty destroys people and leaves them without hope or will to live. Some key causes of poverty include lack of education, natural disasters, lack of opportunities, overpopulation, and spending money on addictions. Major effects are hunger, lack of healthcare, unsafe water, and limited education. Facts show that half of all children live in poverty, over 3 billion people live on less than $2.50 a day, and the majority of the world's hungry people live in just 7 countries. The document calls for action to address poverty before it is too late.
This document discusses the causes and effects of poverty. It identifies overpopulation, lack of resources like food and water, and illiteracy as causes of poverty. The effects of poverty include hunger, homelessness, health problems, and lack of basic needs. The document suggests ways to reduce poverty such as providing charity, basic necessities, education, healthcare, and job opportunities. It also notes that poverty levels have been increasing over the years.

Poverty is defined as lacking basic human needs like food, water, shelter, etc. Characteristics of poverty include poor health, hunger, inadequate housing, and violence. Living in poverty increases risks of disease, starvation, homelessness, and exploitation. Poverty can perpetuate across generations through family background and a "culture of poverty" where the poor have different values like not planning for the future. Reducing poverty involves increasing access to healthcare, education, income opportunities, and financial services while controlling overpopulation.
POVERTY AND THEORIES USED TO EXPLAIN POVERTYDevine Espante
This document discusses different aspects and definitions of poverty. It begins by defining poverty as a lack of financial resources to meet basic needs. The World Bank further describes poverty as lacking access to food, shelter, healthcare, education, jobs and security. Global poverty lines are mentioned as measuring those living below $1.90, $3.20 and $5.50 per day. Statistics on global poverty rates and the countries with the most extreme poverty are provided. The document also discusses different types of poverty including situational, generational, absolute, relative, urban and rural poverty. Finally, it briefly outlines some major theories for explaining poverty, such as classical, neoclassical, Keynesian, and Marxian approaches.
Poverty has many negative effects and can perpetuate across generations. Children who grow up in poverty often face disadvantages in education and health that make it difficult to escape the cycle of poverty. They are more likely to fall behind in school and have worse educational and career outcomes. This in turn affects their ability to lift themselves and their own children out of poverty. Breaking the intergenerational cycle of poverty requires addressing the root causes and improving access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunity.

Climate Innovation Opportunity: Investing in Local Governments to Accelerate ...CUSP | Univ of Guelph
This report from Social Capital Strategies and CUSP examines the current capacity challenges of leading Canadian cities in addressing climate change at scale. The report sheds light on some of the ‘work hacks’ leading cities and their partners are using to deliver successful outcomes and impact, and also where more is needed to fill resource gaps.
This whitepaper is intended to share insights with provincial and federal governments, utilities, community foundations and private philanthropy around the challenges and successes local governments are experiencing in scaling up action in the large and leading cities.
Cities work on the frontline and are critical and capable partners locally and nationally, but the climate challenge is great and the level of change required transformational. This report identifies five elements of success that allow sustainability teams in local governments to generate innovative policy and market transformations on scale with what is needed to address the climate emergency. The findings in this report were generated through interviews with leading climate and sustainability practitioners in local government and NGOs supporting successful municipal climate networks
CUSP: 2020 Recommendations to Enhance Ambition, Signal Strategies and Acceler...CUSP | Univ of Guelph
The document provides 5 recommendations for Canada to enhance its climate ambition and accelerate collective action in its 2020 update to its Nationally Determined Contribution commitments under the Paris Agreement. The recommendations are to: 1) align its 2030 greenhouse gas reduction target with the IPCC recommendation of 45% below 2010 levels; 2) integrate a National Urban Strategy; 3) commit to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050; 4) align federal policies and funding with the new targets and strategies; and 5) step up multilevel climate action implementation. The document argues that adopting these recommendations will help Canada play its part in limiting global warming to 1.5°C as called for by the Paris Agreement.
Our Energy Guelph (OEG) is a community-led group established by the Guelph City Council to determine stakeholder priorities, establish metrics for progress, & update Guelph's Community Energy Initiative.
During the spring and summer of 2017, OEG engaged with community members, seeking input into Guelph’s community energy plan. Community engagement represents one of three primary inputs and activities that will come together to inform Guelph's community energy plan.
This document provides guidance on conceptual mapping by outlining three key steps:
1. Write down all relevant actors and stakeholders for the governance problem or solution. Brainstorm without limiting ideas.
2. Group the actors into classes or types based on common attributes. For example, government agencies could be one class.
3. Draw connections between actors by describing the relationships between them, such as how resources are shared or why certain actors are critical to the governance framework.
The example maps the landscape of community energy plans in Ontario by coloring different actor classes and connecting them with descriptive keywords to illustrate relationships.
The community engagement process is of course very messy with myriad other factors that cannot be fully accounted. Community engagement for CEP is, in other words, predominantly art and intuition and very little science and analysis. How can we make sense of it all?
Just Transformations: Barriers to Energy Upgrades in Social HousingCUSP | Univ of Guelph
Presentation at Just Transformations: The Next 150 symposium. The Social Housing sector provides support and services to among the most vulnerable Ontarians. Consequentially, the sector emerges as a key stakeholder in the planning-to-implementation of just energy transformations. For community energy planners, understanding the barriers social housing practitioners face is key to engaging the sector.
This presentation reviews common barriers, and provides recommendations for building long-term capacity for innovation in the sector.
Energy efficiency is often regarded as the fastest and most
accessible means to achieve sustainability and reduce energy
costs. Using a framework developed from semi-structured
interviews of business owners, staff and personnel, this
presentation will analyze the relevance of various barriers to
energy efficiency experienced by commercial and small
industrial businesses across 7 industrial parks in the Upper
Peninsula of Michigan.
Preliminary analysis indicates that high energy costs in the
region pose a significant barrier to business expansion and
workforce development. To address this, the presentation will
also make specific technical and policy recommendations for
regional planners, showing how advancing energy efficiency
helps support local economic development and business
retention.
The document discusses developing an ontology for the domain of solar irradiance forecasting. It begins by outlining challenges such as lack of shared understanding and terminology. It then provides an overview of ontologies, their uses and components. The document proposes an ontology called SF-ONT that maps the key entities and relationships in solar forecasting. It details the development process including reusing existing relevant ontologies, defining classes, properties and examples. Finally, it demonstrates potential uses of the ontology and provides ideas for future expansion and maintenance.

Presentation as part of a panel at Michigan Conservative Energy Forum, March 10 2016, Lansing. MI
This document summarizes energy usage and alternative energy options in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. It finds that the Upper Peninsula spends over $385 million annually on energy, with residential usage accounting for $142 million and industrial usage the highest at $157 million. Solar and wind power have grown due to the state's renewable energy policies, but the Upper Peninsula faces high costs and low solar resources compared to other parts of the country. The document proposes helping local businesses lower energy costs and invest those savings in workforce development through energy efficiency upgrades, demand charges, and time-of-use rates analysis.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
