Poverty and Health - 2 views

  •  
    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.
  •  
    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.

    This link is not working for me. I wish it did. My kids used to attend a school where uniforms were required. Now they attend a school with no uniform policy. I would be interested to read this article and see another person's perspective and how it compares to my own.
  •  
    I personally have never been a fan of school uniforms for my own children but I can understand how they are warranted in some districts. Some parents may not be able to affront the things other students have making them feel inferior; this allows for everyone to maintain the same sense of self without being picked on.
  •  
    I can see both sides to this issue but honestly I think that children should be able to pick what they want to wear appropriate of course but to be able to have that voice through clothing when they might not have a voice in general can do a lot of a child I think.

    This site really has it all when it comes to information on bullying and what we need to do to stop bullying, It is sad to read about this issue especially when you have kids that are in school. I preach to my daughter on daily basis that bullying is terrible and to make everybody feel and treat them how she would want to feel and be treated.
  •  
    This article is very informative on the outlook of bullying. From point A to point B of each child's situation is covered. I think that many parents and school staff would benefit from reading this article.

Education Is Social Justice - 1 views

  •  
    It is everyones right to have the opportunity to receive a good education. Education and knowledge are said to be the best quality. With this said it takes a lot of self motivation, but some kids just don't have access to education.

    An article by Greg Mullenholz on the fact that education is a social justice issue within our society. He calls education "a dividing line between success and failure" and states that access to high quality teachers and education is a key component to helping students who are underprivileged to receive the future they deserve.
  •  
    This is an interesting perspective. I do believe education in America needs to be improved and the lack of action will cause America to become irrelevant in our modern era. I believe we need to reform our education system that is already in place and have families make it a higher priority rather than have the federal government mandate a solution.
  •  
    Education may be one of the biggest social justice issues because it is one of the main factors that determine a productive future instead of incarceration. The article states that "education was the dividing line between success and failure." There is a need for high-quality teachers along with equal opportunity for a good education among all different income levels.
  •  
    An article discussing the importance of education in society. The main idea is that under performing schools demand a certain skill set and access to funding in order to provide a path to success for their student base, and the unfortunate truth that this practice is not existent. School is the corner stone for the success of children and current standards and practices have created inequality across the nation
  •  
    Education being a social justice issue is nothing out of the norm. Education is not just about teaching common core programs but, it is also a place to teach kids and adults how to protect the dignity of humanity. Education is a huge dividing line between being successful and unsuccessful.

    This article shows a great understanding of how it is to immigrate to the U.S. Hopefully this can bring some understanding to those who feel hateful to these groups of people.
