    This is basicly breaking the stereotypes that some people think of others who are in poverty. I really amazed me how common poverty is. I used to think it was made-up.

    I thought this website was improtant because it showspeople about what some one living in poverty actually looks like. They could have a job. You might see them everyday and not know what they are living like. We know that the only way to break stereotypes is to educate. This article does just that

    Ithought it was sad how it stated that poor people have usaully have jobs but they don't pay enough to suport them. so they work more hours than what my parents work.

    Some of this stuff is good to know. Some good facts about people in poverty.

    I love how this site breaks so many stereotypes of people in poverty. When you general think about poverty, you think of "Hobo's" or a dingy, dirty white guy with fingerless gloves and a sign. This hows that not all poor people are like that, only a tiny percentage are.

    i think this article was pretty interesting...it really did break a lot of stereotypes like how people in poverty don't have jobs-a lot of them actually do. they just don't pay enough.

poverty facts effects causes

    This article talks about the causes and effects of poverty. It also talks about what was once thought about poverty. This article angered me when I learned that many people used to think that it was all the poor peoples fault for being poor.

    An article that gives the definition of poverty (absolute and relative). It also gives some causes that have been spectulated over. Not only that, but it has a nice chunk about the effects of poverty AND a feminist perspective on it. This article can help you if you are doing causes or effects of poverty.

    The word poverty has a sterotype that the poor cause there own poverty. The effects of poverty are serious. Children who have lived in Poverty all their lives suffer more persistant, and ususally have sever health problems compared to the children who grew up with a little better health circumstances. The "blame the poor" perspective is stereotypic and is not true for all the underclass people. Not only are most poor people able and willing to work hard, they do so when given the chance. There are no solutions or explanations to why the poverty exist but scientist are going to continue to research though the years. \n\n

    There are theories that the cause of poverty has to do with lack on concern about the future and possibly commiting self harming activited. Other families are born into it if their parents were in poverty, so they can't help it. Many effects of poverty include birth defects, easily sick, and impaired vision because of the lack of nutrition.\nI was surprised that the artical said that infants born into poverty are more likely to die before their first birthday. It also scared me because it would be hard on the family if they lost a child.

    This gives a lot of information about poverty, and effects. It says that babies born to parents in poverty are more irritable, weigh less, and are more likely to die. It's kind of depressing, but we have to learn about the problem to solve it.

poverty addiction causes stereotype

    This article describes how addiction can cause poverty and how poverty can make addiction worse. The article trys to make it clear that you shouldn't stereo type that all poor people are addicts. I thought that was a good point to make because this is a pretty common sterotype for people to believe.

    Very interesting. It's too bad that those people waste their little money on drugs.

    I remember hearing abut that guy n tv! I never really knew that there where "myths" about poverty. It was really interesting to see the stereotypes that people come up with.

    TED WILLIAMS. he is so amazing I love his story. It makes me really happy to know that hes going to visit his mom for the first time in like 40 years thats so sweet. C:
  • Borror D on 13 Jan 11
     
    That's so sweet that he's the announcer for the Cavaliers now! He was in a macaroni and cheese commercial too. It's so crazy that he went from homeless to famous in two days!
  • Chesser G on 13 Jan 11
     
    Its nice to see someone overcome such a problem and able to beat it. Really gives me hope that our nation can beat this problem
  • Sun K on 13 Jan 11
     
    i think people really need to read this srticle-it's short and sweet, but kills a lot of mithys about poverty. go Ted!
  • Liu D on 13 Jan 11
     
    I think that this story shows that you can get out of poverty! It shows hope to a lot of different people including those in poverty.

    At first I thought that this man's story was amazing, but as his real story developed, I was disgusted by this story. Turns out that he was a drug addict and that he has (still is) physically abused his daughter, lying to her, saying that he was sober when really he was slobbering drunk. Now he is going to rehab. Guys, rehab isn't free. Who's paying for that? Some person who felt generous. Well, why is it that the people who have chosen to throw their lives away get all this support? What about the people who are pure? While this man gets attention for being a drug addict, people are STILL starving on the streets. Juss' sayin.
  • Chesser G on 13 Jan 11
     
    shelby, the guy overcame homelessness and poverty and has pratically turned his life around. Rehab will help the guy to become a better person. I think his story is pretty remarkable
  • Kelly S on 13 Jan 11
     
    He a drug addict. He can't pay for it so someone elso is paying for his rehab when that money can go to the streets were familys need it most.
  • Teets S on 14 Jan 11
     
    I would disagree; other people turned his life around for him. Do you really think that if he didn't have rehab PAYED FOR HIM he would have sought help for his addiction? He wouldn't have told anybody :/ Sure, it's awesome that he was found on the street, and that HIS life is better, but there are STILL people who I believe deserve help more than him. It makes me sick that all the corrupt people are the ones who get all the attention, when the pure are left to fend for themselves.
  • Costello R on 14 Jan 11
     
    I like this article it is very interesting about how he was homeless one day and then in 3 days he's now rich and has a house. so i think what they are trying to say is that not all homeless people are non talented school drop outs. they are trying to say that some are very talented and might have messed up in life.
