    Denmark after one year removed the fat tax and would be phasing out the soft drink tax in one year. The tax was damaging to local economy and didn't deliver any concrete benefits. Again one single food or bev can be held responsible. between 1999-2011 soda decreased by 32% and fat rates still rose.

    Employers may not come out and say there not hiring you because you are fat however that may be the real reason you don't get the job. Employers do have some potentially legitimate concerns like health, sick days and healthcare costs however some are just based on looks. Sometimes people have to prove the do not meet a stereotype of a lazy fat person and show that they are the candidate for the job.

    I think if they want to get people off welfare there should be a more effective way to push everyone to get back on their feet. Have the adults do volunteer work, drug testing and education and or work training to fall back on when the benefits are cut off. This will help with the adults who have no work experience or education, prevent drug users from taking advantage of the help and maybe some people will think I should just get a job that pays more. Mcdonalds pays $11.00 an hour now and you don't need an education to start plus they help pay for you to continue your education as a benefit. I was a single mom for 7 years, the struggle is real. After several different jobs I finally got stable at one, went to school full-time for 3 years then took a break, rented my own place, had a bucket for a car but got me where I needed, sacrifice and determination got me far without government help. Had I had government help maybe I would have been done with school years ago at 28 and I wouldn't be furthering my education now at 36.

    I was also a single parent of three for 13 years and yes the struggle is real but at what point do you say enough is enough? I agree people need help sometimes to get back on their feet but when do we put a limit on it? Unfortunately some do take advantage of the system and do not even put in the effort to be independent.

    I am not a mother personally, I can only imagine the struggles of having children, I can barely make it alone. However i have witnessed people around me who take advantage of this system and have heard others who pay taxes vent about how it is unfair. I agree that it would be a good idea for the government to have more opportunities for these families to get back on their feet. Drug testing would be a good idea and work experience would help them once their 12 month period ends to find an appropriate job to help with their finances.

    This article talks about women's rights across the world. The article lists countries who rank the highest and countries who rank the lowest. The United States surprisingly falls lower than expected. No country is ranked a perfect 100% but there are countries who come close, USA not being one of them.

    Such a shame from a country that widely considers itself advocates for equal rights. There are many of us that recognize this same concept, that being gender inequalities and pay gaps still exist, and advocate for that to be abolished. With the recent advances in how sensitive our society is regarding social issues, how long is this really going to take? One would think that we, as a culture of the U.S., would have already arrived to a point of true gender equality.

    This is a very interesting article. I knew there is a significant pay gap within the U.S. and was honestly surprised to see it so high up. As someone else said, it certainly is a shame that we are so low yet consider the US to be one of the most progressive countries with social issues.

    This article focuses on the interrelation between poverty and health. It gets into further detail about the reasons why people may become extremely poor because of their health situations. It also implements different solutions to help those who find themselves in situations like these.

    This article gave me information on healthcare from a perspective of the people living at the poverty level. It focuses on how different strategies and projects made directly to change the affect of this healthcare system in its current status.
  • rya2198591 on 02 Sep 21
     
    This article does well in representing how complicated poverty is. I liked how the authors showed how health care is a cause of poverty, and poor health care is also a sign of poverty. It goes to show the dual nature of many social issues and why solutions are increasingly challenging. The solutions offered by the authors look like they would be effective, but executing them might be difficult. It would be hard because these solutions are very general, and they would cost money as many of them require the government to force the cost of healthcare down.
