Poverty as A Public Issue Discussion

Poverty as A Public Issue Discussion

This week during lecture we began looking at one particular public
issue: Poverty. Based on the ideas presented in the course readings and
the points made during lecture, here are twelve questions for you to
write about (you are required to answer all twelve questions):

1. If a person doesn’t feel poor, are they still poor? Who gets to
decide?

2. If somebody can afford a flat screen TV or loan payments on a new
car, are they really living in poverty?

3. Can poverty be eliminated through Federal Programs and via cash
transfers to the poor?

4. The poverty experienced by the poor in America is primarily
psychological. Agree or disagree?

5. According to the Federal Definition, approximately 12.3% of adults
currently living in America are poor. If only 12.3% of adults are poor,
is that really a problem?

6. Why are the poor less likely to vote than their middle class and
upper class peers?

7. Are anti-poverty programs corrupting? Do anti-poverty programs (i.e.
Food Stamps, Cash Welfare, Unemployment Insurance) stifle initiative and
create dependence on government aid?

8. Suggesting that some poor people are just lazy…Why is that a
politically incorrect thing to say?

9. Providing people with adequate funds to purchase necessities such as
food, education, healthcare, and education… is that socialism?

10. Why does poverty seem to cripple some people and inspire others? In
other words, why is that some people who grow up in poverty achieve
tremendous economic success and others stay in poverty throughout their
lifetimes?

11. People living in poverty should not have to pay income taxes. Agree
or disagree?

12. Will poverty ever be eliminated? Should it be?

For each of the above-mentioned questions, please write a 40-50 word
response. You must answer each question. All told, your overall word
count will be 480-600 words (not including bibliography/works cited
page).
