1. Explain what the four factors of poverty are and how they impact one’s life.

The factors are: education, health, food, and geographic location they impact lives by making people in poverty. I would not be able to be on SNAPS with my current situation. If I were on SNAPS I would have $1.26 per meal to spend on food. I could get sick and need to go to the hospital, get better food and have giant hospital bills.

2. Explain how the cycle of poverty works.

• born
• have no money
• bad education because no money and in bad area
• drop out
• got low income job
• be in poverty
• have kids
• repeat 3. How do we help people get healthy food cheaply (make sure your answer is realistic)?
• give them money What government policy suggestions do you have?
• give people in need money from rich people What changes can you/we make to help?
• We can make a garden to help people who need it.

1. What factors can lead to poverty?

• born into it
• bad education
• bad job
• evicted
• medical bills
• living in a bad area
• family issues
• geographic location

2. Which members of our society suffer most?

• In the United States, 39 percent of African-American children and adolescents and 33 percent of Latino children and adolescents are living in poverty, which is more than double the 14 percent poverty rate for non-Latino, White, and Asian children and adolescents (Kids Count Data Center, Children in Poverty 2014)
• African American unemployment rates are typically double that of Caucasian Americans. African-American men working full-time earn only 72 percent of the average earnings of comparable Caucasian men and 85 percent of the earnings of Caucasian women (Rodgers, 2008).
• African-Americans and Latinos are more likely to attend high-poverty schools than Asian-Americans and Caucasians (National Center for Education Statistics, 2007).
• From 2000 to 2013 the dropout rate between racial groups narrowed significantly. However, high school dropout rates among Latinos remain the highest, followed by African-Americans and then Whites (National Center for Education Statistics, 2015).

1. As someone in this experience, tell your story.  Describe your experience. Tell us about the highs and the lows.  What were your major takeaways? What did you learn? How did you like it?  Be sure to explain your answers.

I was an internal affairs officer which means that I supervise everybody and see if they are doing their job and following core values. If they are not doing what they are supposed to I would write them up. I made $810 a week. The best part was having the couch in the classroom which is $100 dollars a week and the most expensive property in Kauflandia. The low was getting check fraud and almost needing to pay $67000. I got out of the fine because the check that got hacked was for taxes, the tax company should of came to me and told me that I overpaid my taxes and just gave me a nominal fee. I learned how to write and cash a check. This was helpful for real life when I will be getting checks.

2. How did your character’s role/situation in the game affect your ability to take care of yourself?  Think about your income, job, rent, the amount of money you had, any loans you took out, and your health situation.

I made a good amount of money to take care of myself and get some cool stuff. My rent was $125. My income at one point was the 4th out of 14 people. At the end I was 5th out of 14 people in income. I have had no health issues, others had type II diabetes but I was healthy.

3.What aspects of your character’s life encouraged success?  What aspects of your character’s life brought about failure?  Explain how that process worked.

My character’s life encouraged success because he had an education, money, and good housing. I had it pretty excellent. The only thing that brought failure was getting hacked, but that turned out well in the end. The game is like life in most aspects.

4.What attempts did you make to improve your character’s life?  How successful were these attempts? How difficult were those attempts and why?

I wanted to open a casino to get money. These attempts did not work because it is illegal in Kauflandia. It was difficult because it took time and energy to have the idea. I also took the GED test to get a raise. I got a 60%, I needed 65% to pass. This attempt was difficult because it was a high school test.

5.In bullet points, write a list of what you learned about poverty from this activity.  Be sure to include a brief description next to each item about what you learned, explaining your learning/thinking.

1. Poverty is bad: You can get evicted
2. You probably have a bad education: because you’re parents have no money to get in a good neighborhood
3. You are poor: because you had a bad education
4. You are either homeless or in a bad house: because you are poor
5. You have a low income job: because you have a bad education
6. You’re life probably sucks: see above
7. Overall poverty is a giant cycle

In SS we learned about minimum wage it is $7.25 in WI. teens want it to be $15. We read an article.

Livi the blog post assigner made me do this

i didn’t want to do this

in class today we did more classroom economy. I got chosen by the blogging director to write a blog post. I also got my check forged so when I wrote a 60 dollar check it became a 60000 dollar check

a. How many weeks of the challenge did you participate in? I participated in weeks 1-8.
b. How many comments did you receive from classmates, teachers, or other visitors? I got 3 comments.
c. Which post did you enjoy writing the most and why? I enjoyed the holiday blog post the most. I liked it the most because I could tell everybody that I celebrate my birthday.
d. Which web tools did you use to show creativity on your blog? I learned how to make emoji sentenced.
f. What did you learn about yourself during this challenge? I learned That I Suck at blogging.

My family celebrates the Jewish holidays of Hanukkah, Yom kippur, rosh hashanah, and passover. I also celebrate Thanksgiving, Halloween, and new Years. I like jewish holidays because you get many days of presents instead of just one. I also just had the festivity of having a bar mitzvah!!! It was so fun.

1. Explain the role/job you have been assigned for our Classroom Economy. I have been assigned the internal affairs job. I have to monitor other people to make sure they are doing their job. I make 810 fake dollars every week.

2. What are you most excited/nervous about for our Classroom Economy? I am exited to have an important job and I am nervous about maybe being fired if I am not doing a good enough job.

3. In my mind, poverty is caused by a lack of education and parents being in poverty. If a kids in poverty than they get a lack of good teachers which means a lack of education, A lack of education can cause high school drop outs and if you drop out than your resume is lacking and you get a low paying job and are in poverty, For higher class citizens they get a better education and a better resume and a better job and get a lot of income which makes them not in poverty and have money to own a lot of things for their kids to get a good education to not be in poverty. This is a rich/poor cycle that goes in cycles for generations.

1. Provide a SPECIFIC example of when you or a member of your group struggled to communicate effectively, with empathy, or appropriately.
