The social issue is that my community happens to be from a low income community and it lacks money and resources. People in the community of Little Village have no money for school, food, clothes, and housing. According to power and economic status only the rich get to have benefits, why is this? I have no idea. The rich are able to get resources because they have money in order to get to them and they ones that should get them automatically have a hard time trying to find them. Wealthy people tend to have a stable job with good salaries, a home, money for school, etc. they tend to live life as it comes without worrying about what they will do in order to take food the next day and they certainly do not feel depressed for having so much money. They probably do not worry about not having money at all.
Some solution to economic depression would be having a new and improved “New Deal” in which people who are facing depression are helped. Not only temporarily but in solidarity. People facing economic depression need to feel that they have support. Some actual helping solutions are financial aid for schooling, government housing, food stamps, medical card, but even though all that is being offered it is not enough or it simple is not offered to all people. This country is supposed to be there for all people it is land of the brave, but yet again the “brave” being those who live in the USA do not get help and support in return. The brave continue to struggle and face obstacles in which are difficult to overcome even the “brave” are defeated.
Using the lens of Historical Theory according to Galbraith in The Position of Poverty “The degree of privation depends on the...place of residence - it would be less in with given income in rural areas than in the cities - and will, of course, be affected by changes in living costs” (241). Depending also in the area in which one lives the poverty level changes and I think that this is not only the case it also might be the area's history. There are two types of poverty “case poverty and insular poverty” case poverty is restricted to an individual and his/her family and it tends to cause an individual disorder. Insular poverty affects a group of people this poverty is linked to environment (238). It does depend on the area and how it has come into developing.
