Causes Of Poverty In Contemporary Society
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Throughout history, money has played a significant role in virtually all cultures. It forces people to conform to a certain way of life, and it often changes their perceptions for the worse. The drive to possess great amounts of money has survived throughout the centuries, only to become even more disastrous in contemporary culture. There appears to be no end to what people will do to acquire a lot of money, often sacrificing their families, their health and their morality. How can something that fits in the palm of one’s hand evoke such cultural tension and strife? To be sure, the more money one possesses in most cultures equates to a better life, inasmuch as it allows people to rise out of poverty. What are the major causes of poverty in today's society? How is this related to racism, if at all? When considering such concepts as poverty, welfare, racism, social fact, social structure, social stratification, social inequality, functional theory and conflict theory, one gains a significantly better perspective of how greed and lack of social conscience reflect poverty's primary causes. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Census 2000
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Determining the number of people who live in the country -- or on the planet, for that matter -- has significantly more to do with merely establishing a numeric representation of how many physical bodies inhabit the various regions; indeed, the implications of census figures directly correlate with such issues as economic funding, political representation and how society functions as a whole. For these reasons, it is imperative that the Census 2000 be as accurate as possible, inasmuch as the figures compiled from the April, 2000 count will set in motion the extent to which how well people will be supported. The writer discusses issues surrounding Census 2000, as well as offers possible ways to administer the survey. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Child Labor in India: Duties, Reasons, Impact, Conditions and Government Policy
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 9 page paper discussing child labor in India. Child labor within India is said to include between 11 and 60 million children in underpaid, exploitive and hazardous conditions. While the majority of child laborers (78.67%) are involved in agricultural labor positions, most human rights organizations focus more so on the urban-based child laborers within the manufacturing sector as those children are more likely to be bonded. Mainly because of international pressure, the India government has imposed several child labor acts in which they tend to create the “world’s largest child labor elimination program”. However, since the Child Labor (Prohibition & Regulation) Act was legislated in 1986, little has been done to improve the child labor situation. In fact, because of the continued poverty rate at over 35% and the need for India to compete on international trade markets, the child labor industry has continued to flourish. Industries charged under child labor legislation pay minimal fines and many industries “hide” their laborers within small cottage communities which are not covered under the legislation. Within the last decade, various international organizations have reported on the appalling conditions of child labor within India but also report that the Indian government only reports 1981 census figures to keep the true numbers unknown which is why the estimates vary. Regardless of the reports however, the child labor and bonded industries continue within India in all industry sectors and will no doubt continue to remain despite international pressures because of ongoing poverty levels, tradition of the caste system and the country’s desire to remain competitive within the international market.
