Social Care Case Study

Some situations in life can put someone in a very awkward position. Due to the vast diversity that exists among individuals, there are different responses that arise when one is faced with difficult times. Chris is an Indian citizen and has been battling lung cancer for eight years now. His family is dependent on him as their bread winner. Each passing day makes it harder for Chris to get enough money that he can share with his family of three children. On the positive side, Chris never gives up.

Usually, people tend to have compassion towards children and other young people and as a result, you find that they are able to be helped with the situations they are in.

This might prove to be a critical factor because the people who were close to him are the ones that are likely to come in and help. Very rich people in the society are usually supported by other rich individuals and this makes it easy for them to solve their financial problems. Similarly, poor people in the society have a tough time dealing with financial constrains because majority of their close friends are also poor. Even if there are individuals who will resolve to help Chris, it might not have an impact as compared to if he belonged to the rich class in the
