This photograph is tied to the Great Depression which hit Canada from 1929 – 1939. It shows a group of men lined up for a soup kitchen. Around 1933 a year before the photo was taken, around 30 percent of employable Torontonians were jobless. By 1934, when this photograph was taken, 120,000 unemployed Torontonians were on relief. The photographer might have been hired by the Canadian government to take this photo to promote soup kitchens for the people who couldn’t afford a meal on the table.
People attend college to become successful, independent adults, and for-profit schools draw the attention of many students because of the short amount of time the school claims to give out a degree. In the article, Why Lower-Income Students are Drawn to For-Profit schools, by Alexia Elejalde-Ruiz, real-life examples are provided of the negative effects of for-profit schools. What many students thought was going to better his/her future, actually brought it down. High school graduates are reeled into the advertisements of for-profit schools and in the end are left with major debt and even struggle to start his/her career. Alexia Elejalde-Ruiz reveals the secret behind for-profit schools through the use of ethos.
The question people are asking is, “Are participation trophies good to give to kids?.” Getting them trophies makes them feel like they are winning something and it is showing them to work hard to achieve greatness. People have been talking about how NFL Linebacker James Harrison and his Instagram post. In the post Harrison talks about how his sons got a participation trophies from their football coaches and how he decided to give the trophies that they earned back. This is wrong, the kids should have the trophies so they can showcase what they earned in a sport that they love.
People in authority tend to disregard those who and that which does not benefit them, since the poor did not seem to benefit anybody, people in authority found them useless. (documents 2,3,4) Emperor Charles V had said in an imperial decree for the Netherlands in 1531, that the poor should be helped enough to have the power to survive on their own and not constantly giving them alms (Doc 2). “Many errors and abuses will result, for they will fall into idleness” (Doc 2) Charles V had stated that those who constantly beg for food or money take advantage of the kindness of the European population which will cause them to maintain that lifestyle of only begging for someone to help. Since Emperor Charles V is someone who has to give orders and have
While regulations exist in the United States society to determine who needs food stamps and when those families need them, the abuse of this federal program still occurs. Assistance to needy families is crucial and normally temporary with the exceptions of those who use the program as a way of life. All 50 states have many different variations of regulations for food stamps. In Oklahoma, the federal program for assistance for food is called SNAP.
We think there is an alternative that can help cuts to public schools and maintaining tax rates on wealthier individuals. We should spend the tax money on more important matters than giving out free health care, housing, and EBT. Those low income families should not be getting free healthcare but instead paying a small amount. These families would be entitled to healthcare if they qualify for free medical or insurance accountabilities but only if they qualify. Those low income families do have jobs, even a part time job today may benefit us by medical insurance and even the full time workers may have enough to support their whole families.

Head Start is a federal funded program for children between ages three to five who are underprivileged and come from low income families. A child’s mind when they first go to school is rapidly developing and at school teachers are responsible for guiding their students and helping them develop throughout the school year. If a child gets a bad teacher they can’t develop like they are suppose to. For many low income families public schools are their only option and before Head Start public schools didn’t really have a good preschool option. If a child attended preschool it regularly costed money and poor, low income families couldn’t afford to send their children to a private preschool.
Another company is Sysco, a food-service distributor in the U.S. Porter demonstrates that “It led the move to introduce private-label distributor brands with specifications tailored to the food-service market, moderating supplier power. Sysco emphasized value-added services to buyers such as credit, menu planting, and inventory management to shift” (Porter, 2008, p. 90). Like Paccar, Sysco knows how to make them different from their competitors in the high competitive industry. In food industry, customers is very sensitive with price because they have many options for substitute, so companies must have a competitive prices. However, Sysco decides that they should add values to their products and improve connection with their suppliers.
Social Welfare Policy and Child Protection – Strength and Limitations Since last two decades Canada being experienced softer and harder forms of neo-liberal economic impetus (McKeen, 2006). Many of these reforms targeted social benefits and divided marginalized people into deserved and undeserved category (McKeen, 2006). At a large level, social policies are shaped by the exploration of dominant ideas about a social issue. Existing political views and the interest of the dominant policy community are predominantly influencing policy making (McKeen, 2006). The mainstream discourses for solutions of social problems and policy outcomes are increasingly underrepresented and narrow down the focus of social welfare in Canada (McKeen, 2006).
Both countries chose to create Conditional Cash Transfer programs (CCTs) to fight short term poverty and hopefully put an end to intergenerational poverty as well. According to the World Bank, Conditional Cash Transfers (CCT) programs provide cash payments to poor household that meet certain behavioral requirements, generally related to children’s health care and education. The signature of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1994 by Mexico was the beginning of serious social policies being put in place. Programs such as Procampo which focused on helping farmers after the NAFTA alliance, or Progresa (Programa de Educacion, Salud, y Alimentacion) later called Oportunidades is now Mexico’s most important antipoverty program and
70 years ago after the war Britain was looking to change people lives by introducing the welfare state: the National Health Service was introduced, new houses were built and municipal swimming pools and leisure centres were opened. We thought this would have been an end to poverty. Who would have thought that70 years later, in this day and age there are people who are starving and struggle so much that they have to go to food banks to receive food. Food banks are very popular in Britain. These differ from food banks where hungry families or people will go to receive a parcel of food.
