Topic: Pure Poverty


  
  POVERTY (Word5)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The poverty and destitution that command especially stringent attention is not simply a lack of means for using (and therefore a lack of worth of) basic liberties; they constitute disenfranchisement, effective exclusion from social and political arenas, a denial of the conditions of agency that the protection of liberties seeks to establish.
An especially stringent concern about poverty, then, is not a matter of compassion for those who have been struck by ill-fate; it is an expression of the same requirement of respect for people as having the capacity for individual and political agency that underlies the case for protecting basic liberties.
Third, more specifically, the distinction between addressing poverty and addressing inequality is the difference between ensuring that people are in a position to develop and exercise their deliberative powers and ensuring them fully adequate means for the exercise of those powers.

 Poverty and Social Exclusion -  Definitions of poverty and ways of measuring it
Poverty can be understood and defined either as a concept deriving from low income or as a consequence of insufficient disposable income (as reflected in people’s consumption patterns or general well-being).
Poverty is regarded as a static condition in which income is the deficiency indicator, while multidimensional social exclusion is the outcome of a more complex process than is the case in situations of pure income poverty.
The most common way of measuring poverty is to use the 'relative method', in which the poverty line is defined according to the population's median income or consumption level, being set at 40 %, 50 % or 60 % of median income, for instance.

 Science-Fiction & Fantasy forums - On Poverty
The sole cause of poverty is the inflation of the human population.
Poverty is simply the result of human inequality, which in itself is hardwired into our biology as part of our social conditioning - to live and exist in heirarchies.
Poverty has *nothing* to do with the size of the human population - there has always been poverty in human society because there has always been an inequality of wealth, distributed unevenly amnog the social heirarchies.

In this case, by regressing the changes in poverty rates (the dependent variable) against three economic factors (the independent variables), a model is constructed of expected changes in poverty rates.

The poverty center's first venture was a blockbuster-a neighborhood-by-neighborhood study tracing the growth of poverty in Cleveland.
Researchers at the poverty center compiled the database, gleaning measures of physical and social conditions in neighborhoods from records of social-service agencies.
The study scrutinized the relationship between a high degree of economic poverty in neighborhoods and the incidence of intentional and impulsive crime, drug arrests, housing code violations, numbers of births to teenage and unmarried mothers, infant deaths, juvenile delinquency, students' reading and math scores and school dropout rates.

 Someplace Somewhere - Sociology essay help! (Eif I am looking at ya!)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Poverty makes ya make bad lifestyle choices - smoke, fast-food, etc. Even though healthcare is usually accessible to almost everyone (at least here in Canada), the impact is still evident.
Unless you could somehow prove that the poverty is so extreme that there isn't even an element of opportunity cost left.
The thing is that even though those two things are interrelated, "bad" lifestyle still seems to be an outcome of poverty itself, therefore the economical status is the root of all evil.

 OCPP Press Release 980806
The 1998 Federal Poverty Level for a single-parent, two child family is $13,650 per year, or $1,138 per month.
At $10 and $12 per hour jobs, however, a three-person family's spendable income is less than poverty, due to a phase-out in the state's subsidy for child care, a phase-out of the Earned Income Tax Credit, and the loss of Food Stamp benefits.
The study, "Comparing Recent Declines in Oregon's Cash Assistance Caseload With Trends In The Poverty Population," is available from the Oregon Center for Public Policy ($5.00 shipping and handling, except to the media).

For Negri "Poverty is the multitude in action", that is Negri conceives of poverty as a universal for the multitude (which consists of all movements toward liberation).
That is poverty brings us to a position of common-being with our fellow singular persons, without equalizing these singularities or flattening out difference.
To end on a personal note, I have to admit that if I were to take poverty seriously as this common place of the revolutionary subject, I would find some way to forget my whiteness that often leads me to avoid talking to the Hispanics and fls in our neighborhood.

The new religion was at first wholly confined to the synagogue, and it votaries had still a large share of Jewish exclusiveness; they read the Law, they practised circumcision, and they worshipped in the Temple, as well as in the upper room at Jerusalem.
To the pure and certain monotheism of Judaism he wedded various ideas taken from Plato and the Stoics, trying thus to solve the problem, with which all philosophy is ultimately confronted, how to bridge the gulf between mind and matter, the infinite and the finite, the absolute and the conditioned.

Every new thesis which it discovers in absolute reason and which is the negation of the first thesis, becomes for it a synthesis, which it accepts rather naively as the solution of the problem in question.
Poverty is in their eyes merely the pang which accompanies every childbirth, in nature as in industry.
But in the measure that history moves forward, and with it the struggle of the proletariat assumes clearer outlines, they no longer need to seek science in their minds; they have only to take note of what is happening before their eyes and to become its mouthpiece.

 Pure and Peacemaking (Matthew 5:8-9)
The description, pure in heart, is taken from Psalm 73:1-Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.
The pure in heart are those who are whole-heartedly committed to Jesus Christ, to living for him and for his glory.
Thus, if you are a believer, you have come a long way-from being poor in spirit, mourning over that poverty and being humbled by it, through the period of hungering and thirsting for righteousness and receiving mercy, to now when you have attained to the greatest of all joys, close and unhindered communion with God.

 Airlie Worrall / Why Australia Turned to Land Value Taxation
By 1883 the Sydney Daily Telegraph was publishing Progress and Poverty as a serial, running it for three months twice a week and, in Adelalde, George's friend, William Webster, was writing a regular land reform column.
Progress and Poverty helped, as did the general interest in Utopian reform literature, but the basic reason was the failure of Australia's 1860s Settlements Acts to unlock the land.
Largely because land had to be sold to the highest and therefore the richest bidder (usually the local squatter), the land had not passed into the hands of hopeful small farmers, and by the 1880s colonial governments were looking at alternatives.

O'Murchu's quixotic example relative to celibacy is that human sexual urges and divine creation come together from the same energy to birth universal life.

O'Murchu challenges the reader to reassess their role in living the vows and calls the male hierarchs, of all religions and cultures, to refocus and redefine the violent parameters of the vows as they have been developed over the past ten thousand years, to the pacific, harmonic tranquility of relatedness which calls humankind to virtue.
