reflective essay on poverty​

Answer:

I’ve nnever thought about poverty in great detail until recently. Growing up, because I was in French Immersion, I was in the same class with the same people for the first 8 years of school and got to know everyone pretty well. Sure some kids lived in big houses and others in small houses with a big family or in a trailer but everyone seemed to have a decent standard of living. What I would have considered “poverty” for the town is the drunk people that hung around the liquor store and homeless shelter which was across the street. I didn’t know the reasons behind it but I basically saw poverty as a blend between homelessness and alcohol addiction. When I became older I obviously began to realize and understand other aspects of povertyy.

After it was over I got to learn a lot more by hearing people talk who were actually participating in it and one thing that they alluded to was lack of energy from lack of food. Not only adults, but children in their ability to concentrate in school. “For many, their body is their main or only asset. It is uninsured. Shortage of food and sickness not only causes pain, but also weakens and devalues the asset. There are “lazy” poor people, but in-activity is often conservation of energy.” (Narayan, 2000) Personally, I try to eat as healthy as I can, simply because it makes me feel better and gives me more energy. So if you don’t have the ability to eat at all it is obvious how this becomes a factor even though many people will just label them “lazy”. “These burdens also expose them to “time poverty,” meaning that they have little or no time to rest, reflect, enjoy social life, take part in community activities, or spend time in spiritual activities.” (Narayan, 2000). This was another significant concern that I saw as the banker at the simulation. Because people have full time jobs, have to take care of their children, plus all of the other duties that come when you are living check to check (or worse), the element of time is exceptionally concerning. People were always in a rush, and when the bank closed for the day we had to turn people away unfortunately, which would sometimes mean that they would not be able to eat.

Sir, I agree to this Constitution with all its faults, if they are such, because I think a general Government necessary for us, and there is no form of
Government but what may be a blessing to the people if well administered, and believe farther that this is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in Despotism, as other forms have done before it, when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic Government, being incapable of any other. I doubt too whether any to have the advantage other Convention we can obtain, may be able to make a better Constitution. For when you assemble a number of men to have their joint wisdom, you inevitably assemble with those men, all their prejudices, their passions, their errors of opinion, their local interests, and their selfish views. From such an assembly can a perfect production be expected? It therefore astonishes me, Sir, to find this system approaching so near to perfection as it does; and I think it will astonish our enemies Thus I consent, Sir, to this Constitution because expect host The inanay no better, and because I am not sure, that it is not the best. The opinions I have had of its errors, I sacrifice to the public good. I have never whispered a syllable of them abroad. Within these walls they were born, and here they shall die. If every one of us in returning to our Constituents were to report the objections he has had to it, and endeavor to gain partisans in support of them, we might prevent its being generally received, and thereby lose all the salutary effects and great advantages resulting naturally in our favor among foreign Nations as well as among ourselves, from our real or apparent unanimity. Much of the strength and efficiency of any Government in procuring and securing happiness to the people, depends, on opinion, on the general opinion of the goodness of the Government, as well as of the wisdom and integrity
