Answer:“Poverty is not a major factor in cause of crime.” For the author, crime was simply a matter of personal choice. Such logic is seductive and piggybacks on the US ideology of individual economic responsibility. Poverty becomes something one chooses to move from or not. In such a world, failure to achieve is viewed as the responsibility of the individual.
This is poverty as moral failure and justifies for many any personal prejudice against the poor, including the nonsense that poverty does not impact crime. Such ideas about poverty are often based on personal stories about people who rose up and broke out of poverty. Anecdote is not good science; it’s more like myth-making. Anthropological research into poverty highlights a diversity of experiences among people classified as poor—including great resilience by those who do not escape it.
And while there is certainly academic debate about whether poverty causes crime, it has been proven that many conditions inherent in poverty are risk factors for criminal behaviour. Anthropologists do not document poverty as an economic condition to be measured. Rather they describe poverty as a qualitative social relation of multi-dimensional deprivation. That means poverty affects the quality of a person’s life not just in terms of income but rights, opportunities, capabilities and entitlements.
Yes, poverty doesn’t affect every person in exactly the same way but poverty does impact every person’s ability to achieve his or her full human potential and the World Bank’s 2001 report on poverty said just that.
People living in poverty are more likely to live or come from broken homes, experience low levels of education, suffer high rates of mortality, lack support, possess weak social networks, endure poor health conditions, including poor nutrition that effects many different abilities. They are also likely to be excluded from market participation and services.
Calling all people who live in poverty “vagabonds” is not only prejudice and deliberately misleading, it suggests poverty is just about being hungry and needing a job, and there is no structural impediment to breaking the cycle. People can come forward with their examples of individual success stories but it doesn’t change the fact that while some individuals break the cycle, the group “poor” on the whole cannot break the cycle and capitalism is designed to function in that precise way.
Capitalism requires an underclass, a poor, an industrial reserve army of labour, to do all the low-paying, awful jobs. That is a fact. Great wealth was, and is, accumulated by dispossession and it produces/d great poverty. Capitalism is a zero-sum game. There must be winners and losers. This isn’t a fun ride for everyone; this is neoliberal 21st century capitalism and it’s not that different in its punishments to late 19th century capitalism.
In this sense, poverty is a consequence of historical relationships that include white supremacy, racial hierarchy, underdevelopment, the creation of laws, class warfare, urbanism, transnational geopolitics, and how such big processes made and make the world. Poverty is not an abstraction one can personally choose to overcome or not. Rather, poverty is about social processes and the effects those processes have on productive people.
Let’s end with a simple question. What came first: poverty or the culture of poverty? Anthropologist Phillipe Bourgois spent years living and researching drugs dealers in the ghettos of Puerto Rico. He noted that rather than guns and drug culture being the culture of the ghetto, the ghetto and its poverty should be understood in historical and social context as the reaction to particular social and economic configurations in the colonial relationship between the USA and Puerto Rico.
A similar argument can be made about T&T. Yes, a culture of poverty can lead to criminality and anti-social behaviour, but we should also understand how the historical circumstances of our colonial relationship gave us the poverty that in turn constantly produces/d the culture of poverty we now denigrate and fear.
Put bluntly, blaming the poor for living in poverty rather than fixing the society that produces/d poverty is a massive blind spot found among some who do not live in poverty. It helps them feel successful and accomplished—superior. It’s a hold over of the divide-and-conquer politics of colonialism and racist at heart.
Poverty and the many wider socio-cultural issues, like crime, that it impacts, exist (and always will) because of the type of society we’ve all built, not because of the failure of individuals to personally overcome poverty.

how does the speakers word choice for describing flight have an impact on the poems tone high flight
Passage High flight
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings.
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung.
High in the sunlit silence, hov’ring there
I’ve chased the shouting winds along and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long delirious burning blue
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark nor ever eagle flew
And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.

Why does the librarian tell Jessenia and Nathaniel that they have to read at least the first twenty pages?
Hello. You forgot to show the options and answer. The options are:
A. He thinks that good books can be enjoyed from the very beginning.
B. He knows that twenty pages will be enough for their book reports.
C. He will only get paid if they read the first twenty pages.
D. He believes that some readers give up on books too quickly.
Answer:
D. He believes that some readers give up on books too quickly.
Explanation:
After the librarian asked which subjects we were Jessenia and Nathaniel liked and indicated to them books that addressed the subjects they were interested in, the librarian made them promise that they would not give up on reading the books before finishing the first 20 pages. The librarian gave this advice because he believes that people stop reading books very quickly, right after reading a few paragraphs and that is not enough to arouse interest and the desire to continue reading.

Which phrase best describes what a preposition is?
a word that helps show an object’s position in time or space
a word that shows the size or quantity of an object
a word that describes an action or verb
a word that modifies or changes the meaning of a noun
Answer:
a word that helps show an object’s position in time or space
Explanation:
The phrase that best describes what a preposition is Option (A) A word that helps show an object’s position in time or space.
What is a preposition?To indicate direction, time, place, location, spatial relationships, or to introduce an object, a preposition is a word or set of words used before a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase. Prepositions include words having uncertain or complicated definitions, such as for, of, in, with, and to. Usually, to express meaning, these words are put together with other words in a prepositional phrase.
Prepositions can be used to describe a place's location. If so, we can either define the object as a standalone entity or in terms of spatial relationships. Prepositions can also be used to represent the timing of an occurrence. For instance, I have to complete the assignment before the end of the month. The word by tells us when the deadline is. Some frequently used prepositions include: to, for, of, from, by, in, on, at, with, about, and among.

can someone write in Op-ed format about how immigration is an controversy?! i will give brainless
(edit): can u write it with over 350 words?
Answer:
Immigration seems to be the most prominent wedge issue in America. Senate Republicans and Democrats shut down the federal government over the treatment of immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children, also known as Dreamers. In his State of the Union address on Tuesday, President Donald Trump referred to U.S. immigration law as a “broken” system; one party clapped, the other scowled. This polarized reaction reflects a widening divide among voters, as Democrats are now twice as likely as Republicans to say immigrants strengthen the country.
These stories and others might make it seem like most Americans are anxious about the deleterious effects of immigration on America’s economy and culture. But along several dimensions, immigration has never been more popular in the history of public polling:
The share of Americans calling for lower levels of immigration has fallen from a high of 65 percent in the mid-1990s to just 35 percent, near its record low.
A 2017 Gallup poll found that fears that immigrants bring crime, take jobs from native-born families, or damage the budget and overall economy are all at all-time lows.
In the same poll, the percentage of Americans saying immigrants “mostly help” the economy reached its highest point since Gallup began asking the question in 1993.
A Pew Research poll asking if immigrants “strengthen [the] country with their hard work and talents” similarly found affirmative responses at an all-time high.

irritable or short tempered
Answer:
Well, irritable means you are like grumpy. Short tempered means you get made easily always, like a short fuse! It depends on what and why you need it. The less "harsh" term is irritable. The more harsh term is short tempered.
Explanation:
To put it in a better view, when you are grumpy, or irritable, when you are hungry or sleepy, you get mad or frustrated quickly. But, when you are short tempered, you have trouble keeping your anger down. This is when you have a "short fuse" they like to say. Now these may look similar, but they are much different. The only common thing is you get angry, or upset real easy. The causes are much different. However, you can prevent one, irritable, by getting the right sleep, and eating a balanced meals! Sometimes you need practice or a counselor most of the time when dealing with a short temper . Not always though, friends could also help, along with family!
