Final
Blog Assignment for Issue and Trends
During
the past seven weeks, as I studied the international websites on early
childhood. There has been considerable progress made across the world in terms
of human well-being, but the global statistics hide the fact that scores of people
do not benefit from it, if at all. The progress has by-passed those who are
excluded, ignored, or dispossessed. Through my research, some countries are
witnessing widening epidemic of hungry, so much that inequality has become global
prosperity.
As long as government, and policy makers
overlooks the growing inequalities and poverty it will deepen. If, by far we
put our children first we will be more effective in improving human well-being
than to continue with the simple growth strategy. We have to remember that
children are everybody business. They hold the key to breaking the poverty
cycle children are the hardest hit by poverty. Since non poor families tend to
be less than poor ones, all children are not represented among the poor. The
circle can be carried into the next generation if not controlled during
childhood. Behind each child death, or poverty stricken child, there is a line
of discrimination of some sort. It’s not fair that because of the differences
in a child life, or the way that they live that they don’t have a chance at
education those factors are beyond their control.
To
reduce the poverty level, we have to help to enhance equity. We have to start
with the children.
Gloria- WELL SAID !!
ReplyDeleteThis is a critical time in our nation's governmental forums. If I were you , I would adress this very statement to my state and Congressional representatives. "We" must make our voices heard as we defend young children and thier families. Best wishes to you in the future courses. Perhaps our paths will cross again. Blessings.
Well said indeed. The past 8 weeks have really opened my eyes to how unfair life really is, especially for children. There are a lot of things that people need to come together and work in unity to make better for our children. The injustice of poverty is just the beginning. Working with you and the other people in our class this semester has really made me believe that good things can come when we make the effort and work together. Thank you for sharing not only enlightening information this class but for also sharing your passion for children. Good luck in the future and I look forward to working with you again soon!
ReplyDeleteI agree, as soon as the government stop overlook things we might can solve a few problem. Yes, we have to start with our children. Thanks for sharing and I enjoyed reading your blogs and discussing boards. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteHi Gloria,
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you, the government is looking over the ones in need. Our children come first and poverty is definitely a big issue. However, many children living in poverty are great students. As educators, we are a group of individuals looking for a better future and an opportyunity to save our children of the future. Great post and job well done!
