578 Words3 Pages

Marissa Ramirez Professor Matiella AIS 1203 27 September 2016 Summary of AIS 1203 Anthropocene is defined as the impact that society has on the Earth. In this day and age, humans have been a dominant force in determining the makeup of the environment around us. The way to ensure that society’s impact does not become too extreme is to educate. In AIS 1203, we have learned about the impact that education has on humans and their wellbeing and the role of the university. We have learned that education is a key investment when trying to formulate the make up of a good society. Education begins with a child’s parents, who are responsible for teaching it skills needed for preschool like the alphabet and the numeric system. When a child grows up in a healthy, stable environment, it has a …show more content…

Children of impoverished families typically stay in a cycle of poverty because the quality of education in lower class communities is so poor. Barbara Comber shows support of this idea when she states that “improv[ing] educational outcomes…will improve economic conditions for everyone, and thereby eradicate poverty and inequality” (394). Having access to a high quality education system, no matter which societal class one belongs to, is crucial to breaking the poverty cycle within a country. Additionally, Patricia Briscoe argues the same thing on a global scale: “education plays an increased and pivotal role in the challenge to improve global societies” (5). Her belief that education can break the poverty cycle of the world is another thing we have learned in this course. While I do believe this is true, I also believe that some parents of poorer families could invest time into their children’s education, instead of money, and eventually achieve the same outcome. I think it would have been interesting to learn about a topic that explores the quality of

1402 Words | 6 Pages

In class, we discussed how childhood poverty can lead to being in poverty during adulthood. This can be due to several reasons, including a lack of education. Investing in both primary and maternal education could help to reduce the issues that poverty brings to families (Poverty 1 Lecture, 2018). “After school, Enrique sells tamales and plastic bags of fruit juice from a bucket hung in the crook of his arm,” (Nazario, 2002, p. 28). Enrique is forced to help his family while going to primary school, which, as discussed in class will make it harder for him to stay in school and the cycle that was started by being in poverty (Child Labor Lecture,

Driscoll And Nagel Summary

166 Words | 1 Pages

In the article by A. Driscoll and N. G. Nagel, they explain how poverty affects children and parents. The authors show that children who live in poverty have a risk level to die before their first birthday. As well they show how it affects children in their education because their level of learning is much lower than others, who do not live in poverty. Parents are focused on their jobs, forgetting their children because the money they earn is not enough to support the family and they have to look for more than one job in order to survive, and nevertheless, having two jobs is not enough to be able to give their children a good education. Therefore, those children develop behaviors that are not appropriate, and consequently acquire a low level

Not having the money can affect what pre-school parents send their children to—if they can even afford to send them at all.

Analysis Of Good School Poor School By Alan Semuls

379 Words | 2 Pages

The quality of education that is denied to those in poverty because of their situation rips the opportunity to strive and achieve the American dream in society. Alana Semuels, author of “Good School, Rich School; Bad School, Poor School”, consults the National Bureau of Economic Research to prove that education affects poverty showing that, “Nationally, high-poverty districts spend 15.6 percent less per student than low-poverty districts do, according to U.S. Department of Education. Lower spending can irreparably damage a child’s future, especially for kids from poor families” (Semuels). Poverty plagued areas can only spend so much on students while other areas can spend more on their students giving them a better education. The students that
