Homeless encampments are becoming part of the American landscape - The Washington Post - 0 views

  •  
    There has been a rise in large communities of homeless people living in tents in various big cities across the United States. Many of them are living in tents instead of shelters to avoid getting COVID-19. The CDC even wants these communities to be left alone to prevent the aforementioned problem.
  •  
    It's sad to see so many homeless people especially when it's due to the pandemic. Its crazy how people would rather live in a tent than be in shelters. The shelters arent doing all they can to make sure these people feel safe so I see why they would rather not be in the shelters.

      the author is biased in their writing and offers a biased perspective of this
  • the curriculum of the typical residential school tends to be less rigorous than that of other schools (Lane, Hoffmeister, & Bahan, 1996).
  • parents tend not to participate in their child's education to a sufficient degree
  •  
    The author reviews the purpose of Residential Schools for the Deaf and how they influence the social life and wellbeing of the children who are sent there for the better. The article shows a bias leaning towards the schools although there are many hearing families who find themselves troubled by the idea of sending their Deaf children away from K-12 but the article brings forward the positive aspects of how a residential school is uniquely capable of helping deaf children develop confidence and capable social skills that would allow them to experience a proper education unlike a mainstream public school in which they would most definitely be out-casted by their lack of resources, culture, language, and role models. It shows both the pros and cons of the residential schools for the Deaf in America but with a clear bias, however this is not unreasonable. Despite the clear bias towards residential schools from the author the article offers a point of view of hearing parents finding issue with sending their child away from home for long periods of time as they would experience with a residential school.

    Education is the key to a better quality life in America.

The politics of welfare - 0 views

  •  
    On the surface, conservatism and Christian democratic thought are quite similar with regard to social welfare, but there is one key difference.  Following the Catholic teachings, Christian Democrats believe that the responsibility of taking care of the poor and needy lies with the community, not the government.  Both groups feel that lawfulness and stability are highly important, but they have very different approaches to achieve these goals.
