The Individual and Society
TEXT Dire poverty in US to worsen under Trump, threatening democracy, top UN official says
Explain the reasons why there is so much poverty and inequality in the United States and why it will only get worse.
- Poverty and inequality omnipresent even for those who work: Not every American has access to clean water and sanitation → get sick (hookworm)
- Social mobility doesn’t really work in USA
EXAMPLE: Walmart employees must apply for food stamps because don’t earn enough → Poor kids don’t have access to proper nutrition and education →can’t get a good job (vicious circle)
- FUTURE: Trump administrations plans on tax reforms which benefit the rich, cut healthcare and welfare programs which could help the poor→ situation will get worse
