The document presents information about the relationship between socioeconomic factors and obesity rates in the United States. It shows maps that overlay the most obese states with the poorest states, least educated states, and most religious states. This reveals that the states with the highest obesity rates tend to be in the South, and are also generally the poorest, least educated, and most religious parts of the country. The document suggests that socioeconomic influences like income, education, and religion can compound to put certain citizens at a disadvantage for obesity.

The document discusses the realities of class in American society. It argues that while class is rarely acknowledged openly, it has significant impacts, including on health, education, and life outcomes. There are large wealth disparities between the top 1% and the rest of the population. Success and social mobility are influenced more by one's class background than the myth that only hard work is required. Class differences determine many aspects of people's lives from birth until death.

Family life in the us
The traditional nuclear family structure of two married parents raising biological children has become less common in the United States. Alternative family forms such as single-parent households, unmarried couples living together, and same-sex parents have grown in prevalence due to factors like higher divorce rates, women increasingly working outside the home, and greater social acceptance of diverse living situations. However, the family unit remains an important part of American society, even as families have become more mobile and family structures more varied.
The UnAmerican Dream2015
The document discusses the cycle of poverty, describing it as a set of factors that causes poverty to continue from one generation to the next without outside intervention. It notes that it takes an average of 3 generations to escape poverty once trapped in it. The document then provides statistics on poverty in the US, such as 33 million Americans living in poverty and one child being born into poverty every 43 seconds. It discusses factors that perpetuate the cycle of poverty, such as inferior education for low-income students and a lack of savings or investment among the poor. The document argues that experiencing several life shocks can increase one's risk of falling into poverty.
Causes of change in the family
The document discusses several factors that cause changes in families, including family planning, mass media, peer groups, and dual-career families. It also describes legal options like legal separation and annulment. Additionally, it notes that changes in society have made husbands and wives physically and psychologically distant from each other and their children. Finally, it provides details on nuclear families in contemporary Philippine society, noting smaller family sizes on average now and changes in family composition due to increases in divorce, non-marital childrearing, legal separation, and early death of a spouse.
Fighting Poverty In The United States
The document discusses poverty in the United States and issues facing the working poor. It notes that over 37 million people lived in poverty in 2005 according to the Census Bureau. Many work but still require supplemental assistance due to low wages that have not kept up with costs of living. Inequality also exists as on average men make $10,000 more annually than women. Lack of health insurance puts nearly 47 million people at risk of financial ruin from medical costs, with states like Texas having over 24% of workers uninsured. The minimum wage has only increased $1.80 over 15 years while costs of living have risen steadily.
Divorce Sociology
1) The divorce rate in the United States is the highest in the world, nearly twice as high as Canada and four times higher than Japan. 2) Factors that contribute to the high divorce rate include an emphasis on individualism over family, declining romantic love after the honeymoon phase ends, greater financial independence for women, stress from dual-career families, and easier legal access to divorce. 3) Those at greatest risk of divorce include young couples, couples with brief courtships, couples lacking financial stability, and couples where one or both partners have substance abuse problems.

Effects of poverty
Poverty is defined as a lack of material possessions necessary to live a decent quality of life. In the Philippines, over 22 million people, more than one-fifth of the population, live below the national poverty line. Poverty has negative impacts on health and development, as those living in poverty experience worse physical and mental health outcomes and are at higher risk for unhealthy behaviors. Poverty also affects children's growth and development both physically and cognitively. While some believe poverty can be overcome through hard work alone, reports show many Filipinos work hard yet remain in poverty due to unstable socioeconomic conditions.
Poverty
This document defines and discusses poverty. It notes that poverty is a lack of resources for a minimum standard of living. The main causes of poverty include unemployment, inflation, poor resource management, corruption, and lack of education. There are two types of poverty: absolute poverty which is a lack of basic needs, and relative poverty which is having fewer resources than others in one's society. Effects of poverty include poor health, lack of education, and increased crime. The document then discusses poverty in the Philippines, noting statistics on poverty rates and solutions to reduce poverty such as job creation, government spending transparency, debt cancellation, and zakat.
Poverty
Almost half the world lives on less than $2.50 a day, and about 21,000 people die daily from hunger or hunger-related issues. Poverty traps people in a downward cycle, as they cannot afford enough food and become too malnourished and sick to work, making them even poorer. While there is enough global food, the problem is that hungry people lack money to buy food. Children from poorer backgrounds also fall behind in education and have worse health outcomes.
Class #23
The document discusses access to healthcare as a social justice and Catholic issue. It notes that the US spends more than double per capita on healthcare than other industrialized countries but has worse health outcomes, and that life expectancy varies greatly between US counties and is strongly predicted by wealth. Children in poverty are seven times more likely to have poor health. The Affordable Care Act aims to expand access but will still leave many uninsured. Trinity Health is a large Catholic healthcare system that serves patients regardless of ability to pay.

Class divisions in America are larger than commonly acknowledged. A small wealthy class owns the majority of wealth while many live in poverty. Social class impacts nearly all aspects of life including health, education, and social networks. While the myth of equal opportunity persists, factors like family income strongly influence life outcomes and social mobility.
Changing structure of family
The document summarizes trends in family size and structure in the Philippines as the country has undergone economic transition from an agricultural to industrial society. Some key points:
- Average household size has declined from 5.9 in 1970 to 4.92 in 2000 as nuclear families become more common.
- Adult children are more likely to live with parents if the family has many siblings, low income, and lives rurally.
- While elders traditionally held authority, today's decision-makers are often younger, better-educated breadwinners.
- Solo-parent families and other non-traditional family structures like unmarried parents have increased in part due to overseas work separation.
1 Families Timeline: 1950s to Pesent Day
The document traces changes in families and households in Britain from the 1950s to the present. In the 1950s, most families were traditional nuclear families with clear gender roles and low divorce rates. During the 1960s and 1970s, divorce laws were liberalized and women's roles changed as the Women's Movement advocated for equal rights. Subsequent decades saw rising ethnic diversity, increasing acceptance of diverse family forms like cohabitation and single-parent families, and developments like civil partnerships and assisted reproductive technology that further expanded family possibilities.
Teen Depression Presintation
Teen depression can be caused by a variety of factors including gender, stress, lifestyle, family issues, physical activity, differences, death, loss, abuse and stress. The effects of depression in teens include suicidal thoughts, drug and alcohol use, changes in physical behavior, failing or avoiding classes, social isolation, and changes in eating and sleeping habits. Depression affects about 19 million Americans annually, with half of those experiencing suicidal thoughts. Around 5-10% of women and 2-5% of men will experience major depressive episodes in their adult lives according to research sources.
Citizenship 2 project
This document discusses poverty, including its causes, effects, and perpetuating cycle. It defines absolute and relative poverty. The causes of poverty discussed include theories that blame the poor's behaviors and mindsets. The effects of poverty on children include higher rates of health, developmental, educational, and behavioral problems. Poverty also increases stress on families and risk of abuse. The cycle of poverty occurs when those in poverty lack the resources to escape it, trapping individuals and families in long-term deprivation.
Poverty in south african
The document discusses definitions and measures of poverty. It explains that the international poverty line is generally $1.25 per day but definitions and standards vary between countries and regions. For example, in the US the poverty line for a single person is $11,161 per year while in India the rural poverty line is about $7.50 per month. The document also discusses how poverty is measured nationally based on household surveys and how poverty can create a cycle of disadvantage through issues like poor health, lack of education, and low-paying work.

poverty
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.
Poverty
Poverty can be defined as the lack of basic human needs like food, shelter, and clothing. It can be understood as either an absolute lack of resources or as relative deprivation compared to others in one's community. There are various ways to measure poverty, including the headcount ratio, poverty gap index, and squared poverty gap index. The headcount looks just at those below the poverty line, while the other indices consider how far below the line people fall. Reducing poverty requires increasing access to necessities like food, healthcare, education, as well as growing personal incomes and controlling overpopulation.
Future Without Poverty
World without poverty is one of my dreams! And I fuss over it in lot of ways. My readings of current writers on Poverty suggest that we need a view on life of the poor. This ebook is an attempt to express the same. It is my contribution to understanding and eradication of poverty in the world. Download the ebook here.
Briefly it covers three main aspects:
How poor get poor?
I look at three phases over which a household gets into a poverty trap. This, I believe, is critical to understand as it harbours solutions to the poverty problems. Further, it also leads us to a basic framework for solving the poverty crisis everywhere.
Snakes and Ladders Approach
Getting a community out of poverty needs a customized solution. Each community faces its challenges (snakes) but has opportunities (ladders) hidden within its structure. This framework may be used to build a customized approach for the community.
Structural v/s transient poverty
One of the central idea I want to highlight is the difference between temporary poverty - one that household can get out of versus structural poverty - one that seduces the household into believing that they can get out of poverty.
I would love to hear your feedback on the ebook.
Poverty in south africa
This document discusses poverty in South Africa. It defines poverty as a lack of financial resources and essentials for a minimum standard of living. The document outlines some causes of the cycle of poverty, including unemployment, lack of education, early parenthood, large families, and poor living conditions. It also discusses the consequences of income poverty, such as malnutrition, inefficient use of resources, inadequate housing, uneducated youth, and lack of skills. The document provides references for further information on poverty in South Africa.
Child abuse presentation
According to statistics from ChildHelp, around 6 million children in the US are abused each year, with around 3 million reports of abuse. 30% of adults who were abused as children often go on to abuse their own children. Child abuse can have long-lasting mental health consequences for victims, including anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Common causes of abuse include substance abuse, unrealistic expectations of the child, lack of parenting skills, being abused oneself as a child, mental illness, and work pressures. Children who are abused may become withdrawn, unhappy, and lack trust in others.

Children who are abused often feel serious, unhappy, shy, depressed, and that they cannot rely on anyone for support.
Poverty policy issues
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.
Marriage and family
This document defines marriage and family, discusses the essential elements and legal aspects of marriage, and examines theories of the family. It begins by defining marriage as a contract between a man and woman that establishes family life and involves rights and duties. Marriage aspects include legal and religious views. The document also explores family types, theories of the family, factors in choosing a marriage partner, and patterns of family organization.

Poverty
This document discusses different ways that economists measure wealth and poverty, including income, assets, and socioeconomic metrics. It focuses on examining wealth and poverty in terms of income, which is readily available data. Income inequality is the underlying issue in poverty, especially in developed nations. The document defines poverty as "the state of one who lacks a usual or socially acceptable amount of money or material possessions." Poverty can be a relative condition depending on social and economic context.
Facts About Poverty - Sample Essay
Poverty has both structural and cultural causes. Structurally, poverty is often the result of discrimination and barriers based on factors like race, class, and gender. Culturally, some argue that the poor develop attitudes of fatalism and present-time orientation as adaptations to living in poverty. While employment reduces dependence on government assistance, many full-time workers in America still live in poverty due to low wages and involuntary part-time work. To truly address poverty, policies need to focus on increasing wages, employment opportunities, and access to assistance programs without fostering over-dependence.

food stamps at some point during childhood. Life expectancy in
Harlem is shorter than in Bangladesh. The bottom 60 percent
of the American population currently holds less than 1 percent
of the financial wealth in the country. And two thirds of the
counties that black children are growing up in are considered
high poverty with respect to impoverished neighborhoods.
Although there are several possible explanations for why
these conditions exist, the argument developed here is that a
major reason has to do with how we as a society have tended
to conceptualize the issue of poverty and, based upon this
thinking, how we have acted (or better put, failed to act) toward
the issue.
The traditional manner of thinking about poverty in the
U.S. has viewed impoverishment as largely the result of individ-
ual inadequacies and failings. These shortcomings include not
working hard enough, failure to acquire sufficient skills, or just
making bad decisions. Consequently, the problem of poverty is
often seen through a lens of individual pathology. Since indi-
viduals are perceived as having brought poverty onto them-
selves, our collective and societal obligations are seen as limited.
The age-old distinction between the deserving versus the unde-
serving poor reflects this perspective—unless the working-age
poor have very good grounds for their
poverty, they’re deemed largely unde-
serving of help. Poverty is therefore
understood as primarily affecting those
who choose not to play by the rules of
the game. Ultimately, this perspective reflects and reinforces
the myths and ideals of American society: there are economic
opportunities for all, individualism and self-reliance are para-
mount, and hard work is rewarded.
This overall mindset has long influenced both the general
public’s attitudes toward the poor and much of the policy and
academic work analyzing poverty. Nevertheless, it seriously mis-
construes the true nature of poverty and fosters a lack of polit-
ical and social will to address the problem itself. Three major

major reason has to do with how we as a society have tended
to conceptualize the issue of poverty and, based upon this
thinking, how we have acted (or better put, failed to act) toward
the issue.
The traditional manner of thinking about poverty in the
U.S. has viewed impoverishment as largely the result of individ-
ual inadequacies and failings. These shortcomings include not
working hard enough, failure to acquire sufficient skills, or just
making bad decisions. Consequently, the problem of poverty is
often seen through a lens of individual pathology. Since indi-
viduals are perceived as having brought poverty onto them-
selves, our collective and societal obligations are seen as limited.
The age-old distinction between the deserving versus the unde-
serving poor reflects this perspective—unless the working-age
poor have very good grounds for their
poverty, they’re deemed largely unde-
serving of help. Poverty is therefore
understood as primarily affecting those
who choose not to play by the rules of
the game. Ultimately, this perspective reflects and reinforces
the myths and ideals of American society: there are economic
opportunities for all, individualism and self-reliance are para-
mount, and hard work is rewarded.
This overall mindset has long influenced both the general
public’s attitudes toward the poor and much of the policy and
academic work analyzing poverty. Nevertheless, it seriously mis-
construes the true nature of poverty and fosters a lack of polit-
ical and social will to address the problem itself. Three major

Cultural awareness / being open to the idea of changing cultural attitudes
Cultural sensitivity / knowing that differences exist between cultures, but not assigning values to the differences
Cultural competence / having the capacity to bring into its systems different behaviors, attitudes and policies and work effectively in cross-cultural settings to produce better outcomes

Understanding Culture for Community Engagement, Organization and Development (CEOD)
U.S. communities are becoming more diverse

Racial profiling / a law enforcement practice of scrutinizing certain individuals based on characteristics thought to indicate a likelihood of criminal behavior
Stereotyping / a fixed, over generalized belief about a particular group or class of people (Cardwell, 1996)
CEOD and Cultures of the Future
Questions to help engage, organize and develop a healthy community of the future:
If you could have your ideal community right now what would it look like?

Who lives in the community right now?

留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径，但认证只是个体行为，不是所有留学生都操作，所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的，他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单，就有了使用价值。

Exploring the Benefits of Binaural Hearing: Why Two Hearing Aids Are Better T...Ear Solutions (ESPL)
Binaural hearing using two hearing aids instead of one offers numerous advantages, including improved sound localization, enhanced sound quality, better speech understanding in noise, reduced listening effort, and greater overall satisfaction. By leveraging the brain’s natural ability to process sound from both ears, binaural hearing aids provide a more balanced, clear, and comfortable hearing experience. If you or a loved one is considering hearing aids, consult with a hearing care professional at Ear Solutions hearing aid clinic in Mumbai to explore the benefits of binaural hearing and determine the best solution for your hearing needs. Embracing binaural hearing can lead to a richer, more engaging auditory experience and significantly improve your quality of life.

- 1. In the slides following, you will be able to see the true effects of these socio-economic influences on a nation wide scale. Simply showing the most obese states wouldn’t be enough though, I needed to present the information in a progressive format, showing how these influences can compound and put certain citizens at a massive disadvantage. What do you think will happen, if I show the poorest States, then the least educated, and then most religious?
- 2. Basic, yet striking. The 10 most obese states are primarily in the “deep south”. How can this be explained through socio-economic factors such as god, money and education? What on earth do any of those things have to do with obesity? Let me show you the light my friends…
- 3. Poorest States Here we can see those same very obese states, while putting an overlay of the poorest states in the US on the same map. Revealing that money is also affecting the obesity rates within that states. Is it that they can’t afford healthy food?
- 4. Poorest States Least Educated States Again, these obese states are not only the poorest in the nation, but also the least educated. Which can bring some questions, such as, are they dumb and there fore make poor eating choices? Or are they also only poorly educated because they are poor? Is that an excuse?
- 5. Poorest States Least Educated States Most Religious States Here we can observe the third socio-economic influence taking its toll on the most religious states in the country, to no surprise it lands squarely on the shoulders of those states in the deep south. For so having so many strong religious people, they seem to be the most gluttonous.
- 6. Here is a view of the United States that sheds a lot of light on the states and regions who are facing the brunt of this epidemic. Did you expect this? That New England and the Western US would be dramatically healthier and less obese than the deep south?
