reflective essay on poverty​

Answer:

I’ve nnever thought about poverty in great detail until recently. Growing up, because I was in French Immersion, I was in the same class with the same people for the first 8 years of school and got to know everyone pretty well. Sure some kids lived in big houses and others in small houses with a big family or in a trailer but everyone seemed to have a decent standard of living. What I would have considered “poverty” for the town is the drunk people that hung around the liquor store and homeless shelter which was across the street. I didn’t know the reasons behind it but I basically saw poverty as a blend between homelessness and alcohol addiction. When I became older I obviously began to realize and understand other aspects of povertyy.

After it was over I got to learn a lot more by hearing people talk who were actually participating in it and one thing that they alluded to was lack of energy from lack of food. Not only adults, but children in their ability to concentrate in school. “For many, their body is their main or only asset. It is uninsured. Shortage of food and sickness not only causes pain, but also weakens and devalues the asset. There are “lazy” poor people, but in-activity is often conservation of energy.” (Narayan, 2000) Personally, I try to eat as healthy as I can, simply because it makes me feel better and gives me more energy. So if you don’t have the ability to eat at all it is obvious how this becomes a factor even though many people will just label them “lazy”. “These burdens also expose them to “time poverty,” meaning that they have little or no time to rest, reflect, enjoy social life, take part in community activities, or spend time in spiritual activities.” (Narayan, 2000). This was another significant concern that I saw as the banker at the simulation. Because people have full time jobs, have to take care of their children, plus all of the other duties that come when you are living check to check (or worse), the element of time is exceptionally concerning. People were always in a rush, and when the bank closed for the day we had to turn people away unfortunately, which would sometimes mean that they would not be able to eat.

In this excerpt from "A Modest Proposal" by Johnathan Swift, what does the author list?

I can think of no one objection, that will possibly be raised against this proposal, unless it should be urged, that the number of people will be thereby much lessened in the kingdom. This I freely own, and 'twas indeed one principal design in offering it to the world. I desire the reader will observe, that I calculate my remedy for this one individual Kingdom of Ireland, and for no other that ever was, is, or, I think, ever can be upon Earth. Therefore let no man talk to me of other expedients: Of taxing our absentees at five shillings a pound: Of using neither cloaths, nor houshold furniture, except what is of our own growth and manufacture: Of utterly rejecting the materials and instruments that promote foreign luxury: Of curing the expensiveness of pride, vanity, idleness, and gaming in our women: Of introducing a vein of parsimony, prudence and temperance: Of learning to love our country, wherein we differ even from Laplanders, and the inhabitants of Topinamboo: Of quitting our animosities and factions, nor acting any longer like the Jews, who were murdering one another at the very moment their city was taken: Of being a little cautious not to sell our country and consciences for nothing: Of teaching landlords to have at least one degree of mercy towards their tenants. Lastly, of putting a spirit of honesty, industry, and skill into our shop-keepers, who, if a resolution could now be taken to buy only our native goods, would immediately unite to cheat and exact upon us in the price, the measure, and the goodness, nor could ever yet be brought to make one fair proposal of just dealing, though often and earnestly invited to it.

A.
reforms that had failed to improve Ireland's situation
B.
the unrealistic measures discussed by Irish government officials
C.
viable measures that could improve Ireland's situation
D.
measures that would help unify the populace of Ireland
