The National Poverty Center discusses poverty in the United States. During the discussion it breaks the poverty rates down into ethnicity groups and various income situations (i.e. those families who receive food stamps).
The NPC discusses how the U.S. measures poverty. It measures the poverty rates by the information that is collected by the Census Bureau. It’s also determined by the money it takes to support the different family sizes in the U.S. The family is considered poor if the money they bring in is under the amount the Census determines that they need to support their family size. The NPC also discuss how poverty has changed over time. They start from the 1950’s and tell how it has risen and fell over the year. This is the section that strongly supports my paper. It shows graphs that tells how many people in a breakdown from all people, children under the age of 18, elderly people live in poverty. It’s most recent information is in 2004.
I think that this particular section really helps my paper because you can see how my paper relates to the graphs and it also shows that my research was accurate. This site supports my paper thoroughly. The most people in poverty were the single black mothers.
The NPC site goes further into detail by breaking down poverty into the subgroups and children live in poverty. The site also describes how poverty differs among alternative definitions.
The NPC site is a site that helps build awareness on the issue of poverty in the United States. This site really lets the citizens know that their tax money isn’t helping out the society like it should be. Poverty is something that can’t and won’t be taken lightly by myself and others who are aware of the situation and the damage it’s causing on our communities and our youth of tomorrow.
Like my paper the National Poverty center is educating so that we can finds ways to solve this problem of poverty.
