Growing up in a class society, we've all learned attitudes about others and ourselves that help perpetuate the class system. These questions will aid you in becoming aware of the oppressions and/or privileges you've experienced because of your background and how they affect your life now. Awareness is the first step in making a commitment to change. Money and Work
ASSIGNMENTPART 1:
Using SOME of these questions, write a 1-2 page report about yourself and your family's financial situation and class status. Like so much in this class, what you write is confidential. Make sure you use the terms we have learned in class. PART 2: Create a media piece on the same theme. Possible media can include video, collection of song lyrics, painting, cartoon panels, oral presentation, short drama, collage, short story, etc. Of course, if you have another creative idea, speak to Mr. Stewart. NOTE:This particular type of poverty is usually temporary as it involves a crisis or loss occurring. Events could include environmental disasters, divorce, major downturns in the economy or severe health problems. Examples could include:
A good example of situational poverty caused by an environmental disaster would be the destruction of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina or forest fires in Northern Alberta. In both cases, many people were homeless, lost their jobs, and had nothing to their name. Since situational poverty usually has one specific cause, this type of poverty is most often temporary. Once the main problem has been addressed, the person's financial situation improves. For example, once a single mother finishes her schooling, she has a much greater earning power to help take care of her children.
