  • Although Māori culture was a totally stone-age culture until the arrival of Europeans and the introduction of metal, it was highly evolved. The various working materials used before the Māori had access to metal were mainly bird bones, whale bones, ivory teeth, both dog and human bones, and also stone, from the large stone resources which had been discovered further inland within New Zealand.
  • › Māori : The name "Māori" originally meant "the local people", or "the original people". Māori was a word which signified "local" or "original" - as opposed to the new arrivals - white European settlers - the "pakeha". With the arrival of European settlers, the word Māori gradually became an adjective for the "Māori people". This change took place before 1815.

      This website breaks down the demographics of race throughout Kansas. It will tell you the number of persons under specific age groups; for example it will show the percentage under 5, 18, and 65. It also breaks down the racial demographics of each town by reporting how many African Americans, Cuacasians, and Hispnaics live in a specific area of Kansas. This website will be important for helping to define an accurrate number of person living in poverty and defining the racial classes that exist in poverty.

    Although this is a very short article it touches on the fact that child abuse is related to poverty and teenage/child prostitution.  If a child is working as a prostitute then he/she obviously does not have time for a formal education!

      The Economic Statisitics of Kansas breaks down the monetary and employment status of people living in Kansas. Futhermore these numbers aid in the understanding of why so many people live in poverty globally. The average family of four living in Kansas makes less than 10, 000 dollars a year annually. The Kansas Economic stats break down even further and will show the poverty levels in Manhattan and surrounding towns.

    This site explores factors of poverty (as a social problem). It starts by stating the difference between a factor and a cause. A cause being that which gave rise to poverty in its origin, and a factor being something that contributes to its continuation. The five factors that this site focuses on are ignorance, disease, apathy, dishonesty, and dependency.

      The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services defines poverty according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Why aren't thier numbers matching. Health and Human Services has a lower dollar amount per family household than the Vensus Bureau. I think they are assuming that the average American works at minium wage and that is not the case. The only information that matches is that poverty was not even considered until the Civil Rights movement.

africa healthcare parochialism

shared by Amanda Stueve on 27 May 07 - Cached
  • This process has to begin with an attitude change in the people.
  • The international system cannot determine for the people the needs, however obvious the needs may be.
  • MDGs are derived from the international system rather than the domestic environment. They are thus perceived to be foreign, however good the intentions may be.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Institutions in many African countries are derived from developed countries’ institutions. This makes the whole idea of independence derisory.
  • elimination of proxy wars that were constantly blamed for the underdevelopment of the third world, third world leaders would re-channel their resources in worthy directions, such as health care, education and poverty eradication.
  • Amanda Stueve on 27 May 07
     
    An opinion is put forth here that solutions for Africa must come from Africans so that they have legitimacy. Parochialism is a hindrance to solving political and healthcare issues in Africa (because people are not aware of their rights and privileges?).

      Links the United States poblem of race, education, and poverty to a lack of accountability by the government. The government did not even recognize they had a proble with poverty until the 1960's Civil Rights Movement. The structure of the government still has some inequalities that deal with race and poverty.
