  • Which “step backwards” statements were most memorable for you? Why? 
  • How might some of the “step backwards” experiences be connected to poverty? 
  • If you were someone who mostly stepped forward rather than backward, what responsibilities go along with the privileges you have received? 
  • If you mostly stepped forward during this activity, how did you feel while moving ahead of the pack?  
  • If you mostly stepped backward during this activity, how did you feel about slipping behind the pack? 
  • Does this activity help you to identify some of the “root causes” of poverty? Which ones? 
  • Which causes of poverty are missing from this activity?

    According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2012, an estimated 16.1 million children were living below the poverty line – 21.8 percent of all children, or one out of every five in the United States. http://www.povertyusa.org/poverty-resources/education-center/grades-k-5/]]>     2016-07-07 14:19:59 UTC https://padlet.com/runderhill/GSTInterview/wish/116525442     Definitions of Poverty runderhill https://padlet.com/runderhill/GSTInterview/wish/116525443 Generational Poverty is defined as a family having lived in poverty for at least two generations.

    A person/family can experience Situational Poverty when their income and support is decreased due to a specific change—job loss, divorce, death, etc. While there can be a domino effect caused by this one significant change, families experiencing Situational Poverty tend to remain hopeful, knowing that this is a temporary setback.

Education means more stress in an already over-stressed world
    2. No purpose for education--most do not know someone who has used education to earn a living
    3. Deficiency messages--lack of exposure in academic environment reinforces that others are smarter and better. 
    4. Educational expectations--education is not for us
    5. Lack of basic needs identified by Maslow as critical to developing to your fullest potential

    • Stereotypes and lack of understanding
    • Isolation and lack of social mobility
    • Institutional punitive structures
    • Fragmentation of available help
    • Failure to reach out and communicate with people in poverty
