30 Environment of Poverty and Ways to Measure Poverty
Module 1 Discussion
Should we worry about inequality? Why or why not? In your post you need to give evidence to back up your position. If you argue that we should worry about it, identify a harm to inequality with an appropriate citation so your classmates understand what evidence you have for your position and where they may look for additional information.
If you argue that inequality is not a problem you also need to provide evidence, either historical of theoretical, with an appropriate citation. Your first post should be original to the discussion. That is, do not duplicate an idea a classmate has already advanced.
Comment on at least two of your classmate’s postings extending or critiquing the discussion. Simply agreeing with a classmate is not enough, rather you need to demonstrate critical thinking in all your posts.
Module 2: Ways to Measure Poverty
Do some research into other ways to measure poverty. Some of you should look at the Multidimensional Poverty Index . Others may be interested in how the EU measures poverty. If you are interested in very poor countries you might want to look at how the World Bank set poverty lines .
For this post, share an alternative measure of poverty and make an argument about why that might be a good way to measure poverty. Multiple students can talk about the same method, but you should not have the same argument – your argument should be original.
Comment on at least two of your classmate’s postings either extending or critiquing the post.
Module 4: Explaining Opportunity
For this group assignment this module you all explored the factors contributing to differential opportunity in a county. For this discussion you will need to do some “leg work” (or keyboard work) to find out how that county is addressing the deficit in opportunity.
Post a description of a policy or program (governmental or NGO) that is attempting to address an opportunity deficit you found. What are they doing? Are they successful? Do you expect them to be? Why might they not be?
Reply to a post by your classmates. How is the program/activity similar or different from what is going on in your county? Might it work well if tried in a different county? Why or why not?
You must have an original post and reply to two of your classmates.
Module 5: Environment of Poverty
Putnam talks about resource gaps between wealthy and poor children. Some resource gaps he mentions are time spent with parents, money invested in extracurriculars, quality of schools, stability of families, and community support. Choose one of these resource gaps and find evidence supporting or contradicting Putnam’s claim. Your evidence may be antidotal stories or statistical evidence.
Comment on two other classmate’s postings by critiquing their evidence, pointing out additional evidence that would be helpful, and/or indicating how this difference in resources may impact future economic opportunities.
Module 6: Digital Segregation
Tyler Cowen talks about how we are increasingly becoming digitally segregated. For example, my twitter feed contains a lot of economists so I tend to hear the views of economists more than others. How are you digitally segregating yourself? For this discussion post, try to include groups that are underrepresented in your digital universe in your social media consumption this week. Write about how you did this and what you learned from it. Did you hear views that were different than your own? Were the subject matters discussed different?
For this forum, make an initial post and comment on two of your classmates posting by asking a question, suggesting to extend the thought, or critiquing.
