Question

Generally, liberals believe that people are poor because of circumstances beyond their control (economics, health, society, family background), while conservatives believe people are poor because of their own individual failures (laziness, lack of character). What do you believe? What steps would you propose to reduce poverty on the basis of what you think causes it?

Answer 1

The two questions here are about your views:

1) What do YOU believe?

2) What steps would YOU propose to reduce poverty on the basis of what you think causes it?

So I guess... start with just talking about which viewpoint (if either, or maybe a little bit of both) you believe in?

Answer 2

In several countries, many people are poor because of circumstances that go beyond their control. Due to lack of jobs or a very low pay, increase of basic products prices, or lack of high education.
It also has to do with a historical background.

Answer 10

I am assuming... since the question asks what do you "Believe" -- you are allowed to insert your own opinions on the matter, and then back the up with whatever evidence your research turns up.

My opinions on the matter were formed as a child growing up and then going on to college and grad school and seeing how other people viewed the world. I'm guessing you've not had the college + beyond experience, but I'm sure you probably have some sort of experience and thinking about this stuff even now. :)

Answer 18

But does your teacher expect you to do extensive research? Like, do you have to "include 10 references or sources", etc? Or is it just "write 2 pages on your thoughts about poverty and its causes?"

Answer 19

. Excellent essays (i.e. "A" work) is well-written, presented in an organized fashion (use of subtitles, etc. are up to the individual student), and show the use of a variety of class sources which are properly cited. You should strive, to the extent you are able, to integrate the textbook readings (from both We the People and A Guide to the US Constitution), as well as any current affairs articles, into your answers. ***FOCUS ON THE CHAPTERS YOU HAVE READ FOR THE FINAL EXAM –ie. Chapters 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13.

3. Most important: Do the best you can. Remember that while there are no "right" or "wrong" answers on this assignment (as with the Discussion Board), there are excellent, good, average, and below-average answers. If I believe you have written an exemplary Essay Assignmment 1 answer, I will email you a request to publish your work to our class. Good luck!

Ok, so that is a good start. :)

From the question:
>Generally, liberals believe that people are poor because of circumstances BEYOND THEIR CONTROL (economics, health, society, family background), while conservatives believe people are poor because of their own individual failures (laziness, lack of character).


So would you say that people are poor because of reasons beyond their control? If you're poor and born into a poor family, how can you afford to go to an expensive school and get educated?
