1.INTRODUCCIÓN
Para determinar la causa de la pobreza, no es acertado relacionarlo con una causa económica ya que hay otros aspectos que determinan esta situación como es, la ausencia de una vivienda y la finalización de los estudios en una etapa prematura lo que conlleva que exista dificultades para mantenerse en el mercado laboral
Los datos estadísticos sobre la pobreza en el mundo muestran el aumento de las desigualdades como refleja el reciente informe del PNUD 1 del 2013 se destaca que “hay suficiente riqueza para todos, pero un ser humano de cada tres no dispone de las instalaciones sanitarias más elementales, uno de cada cuatro no tienen electricidad, uno de cada siete vive en un barrio de chabolas, uno de cada ocho tiene hambre y uno de cada nueve no dispone de agua potable”.
El siguiente fragmento, extraído del Informe de la ONU de 2005 sobre la situación social del mundo, ilustra esta situación: “El 80% del producto interno bruto mundial pertenece a los 1.000 millones de personas que viven en el mundo desarrollado, el 20% restante se reparte entre los 5.000 millones de personas que viven en los países en desarrollo. Mientras no se resuelva este dilema de la desigualdad, seguirá siendo difícil alcanzar la justicia social y unas mejores condiciones de vida para todas las personas, y todas las comunidades, los países y regiones seguirán siendo vulnerables a los trastornos sociales, políticos y económicos” (ONU, 2005).
En la actualidad, los Servicios Sociales Municipales, han desarrollado determinados programas para que las personas que estén viviendo en esta situación puedan incorporarse en la sociedad, aunque el día día muestra muchos casos que tienen grandes dificultades para progresar hacia la integr...

The Carrillo Adobe is in a dire situation. It has not only fallen into disrepair from the many years of weather and use by so many individuals, but by visitors and citizens have been less that kind and considerate of its age and the prominence that it deserves. After Carrillo’s death her house was given to three of her daughters, Marta, Juana, and Felicidad. Then her belongings were distributed between all of her children. In the first decade after her death her different children each occupied the house at different times. One of her daughters, Juana and her husband ran the home as a tavern. They then converted the adobe into the first post office in the town of Santa Rosa. After her daughters no longer had a need for the adobe it was turned into a trading post where numerous individuals...
¡Diles que no me maten! A short story by Juan Rulfo, which depicts the reality of a peasant’s life in rural Mexico. This short story is about a farmer who had a disagreement with the landowner after asking if he would be able to share his animals’ food. Due to the refusal the farmer sneaked his animals at night to feed them; however, when the landowner found out he killed one of the farmer’s cattle. As a result, the farmer killed his landowner; consequently he had to hide for over 40 years only to be murdered later on by the landowner’s son. This paper will discuss the following ideas; themes explored in the short story such as family, death and revenge. Then, an analysis of the strong need of survival and the symbolism of corn crops. Continuing to the structure of the short story and what it adds up to the overall understanding of the story. Finally, there will be a conclusion of all the aspects and what findings are reached after reading this short story.

He further stated that with all sincerity in themselves and colleagues, public school is now regarded as outmoded and barbarous. This thought, according to him is both observable to students and the teachers alike, but the students inhabit in it for a short period, while the teachers are condemned to it. Pursuant to teachers being condemned, they live and work as intellectual guerrillas strong-minded to stimulate students, ignite their inquisitiveness, and to open their minds, yet reluctant to stay behind in their profession. Together with this, teachers...
Education is a topic that can be explored in many ways. Education is looked at in depth by both Richard Rodriguez in his essay, “The Achievement of Desire”, and by Paulo Freire in his essay, “The ‘Banking’ Concept of Education.” After reading both essays, one can make some assumptions about different methods of education and exactly by which method Rodriguez was taught. The types of relationships Rodriguez had with his teachers, family and in life were affected by specific styles of education.
. Despite these unquestionable struggles many of the occupied factories succeeded in, not only drastically improving the welfare of its workers but also, either maintaining or increasing production within the factories.

In today’s society, schools in wealthy communities are better than those in poor communities, higher income schools are simply better at preparing their students for their future. In the reading “The Banking Concept Of Education As An Instrument Of Oppression” by Paulo Freire, he believes that teachers are depositing information into their students. He states that there are two educational systems, the “banking concept” is when teachers are filling their students up with information but the students aren’t fully understanding the material. On the other hand, the “problem posing concept” is when the teacher lets the students communicate with each other. It opens the classroom to a learning environment. Especially when students are more comfortable enough to ask the teacher a question. Esentionally he prefers the problem posing concept. Futhermore, “Social Class and The Hidden Curriculum Of Work” by Jean Anyon an educator at Rutgers University, Newark. She researches how students of different economic backgrounds are interacting with school work and teacher interaction in their elementary schools. Also, she supports her research by looking at the various ways public schools provide particular types of knowledge and educational experiences of the different social classes.
Every individual has encountered social issues within a community. A social issue is often the consequence of factors extending beyond an individual 's control and local geographical environment. Social issues have evolved over time, ranging from underage drinking to gay marriage. What all social issues have in common is the affect that these issues have on a community. These problems point to the lack of balance and inequality which is a law of nature. History has proved that equality cannot be achieved on a physical level, but the idea of equality is still alive. Throughout, my paper I will discuss interrelation between discrimination, poverty, health, and violence. I will also explore their impact on the individual social issues.
There are three main theories of sociology; functionalism, conflict theory and symbolic interactionism. This paper will focus on two of those theories, functionalism and conflict theory. The objective is to delineate the assumptions of two out of the three theoretical perspectives and apply these assumptions to an analysis of social stratification. How this will be accomplished will be by comparing and contrasting their assumptions and by analyzing the two theories affect on social stratification. Then I will state my opinion on which of the two better fits my personal sociological views. Functionalism is many people's way to view the world sociologically. It states clearly that the objectivity of the researcher is necessary and can be accomplished. There are three main points, which make up a functionalist theory on sociological expression. The first point is that culture is made up of interacting, interdependent parts. Each of these parts has a function in maintaining the society as a system on the whole. The second point states that shared values and expectations(or beliefs) among the members of the society help hold the society together. The third point states that these systems have a need for stability and a need to try to keep all the parts working together congruously in a sort of system. Social change in this system is uncommon, and when it does happen, it is a very gradual change. Conflict theory is centered on the tension, or struggle that goes on in everyday life. There are many different parts, which make up the conflict theorist's view on the sociological perspective. The first main part is that society promotes general differences in wealth, power, and prestige. Wealth...
Social policy is widely seen to include policy and programmes which aims at dealing with income security and income redistribution as well as well being, education and social services that support individual’s quality of life in the communities. Economic activities by the government and authority bodies such as social groups, charities and local associations bring about the material means to promote and encourage healthy economy. Social welfare is not only determined by the government services as it includes the way families take responsibility for their own welfare such as solving their own problems through their efforts and hard work to earn income that would sustain them. Also the contributions made by the Religious bodies for example tite payment in church and specialised institution they provide for the elderly, mentally ill and orphans is one of the means welfare of people is met (Titmuss 1947, p.30-31). Social policy can include a number of purposes; it can help to distribute resources among members of a country to ensure that good standards of living are maintained, It can shape individuals social and economic behaviours, it can alter

Las empresas tienen un rol fundamental para el crecimiento de una comunidad y generan a su vez la creacion de riquezas, el crecimiento tecnológico y el desarrollo. Hoy en día las empresas buscan integrar en su organización la responsabilidad social que tiene el objetivo de apoyar a la comunidad en la resolución de problemas sociales, ambientales y económicos. La Responsabilidad Social Empresarial, como menciona Gonzalo Vargas Forero en su escrito Responsabilidad social empresarial, Ciudadania y Desarrollo, se define como un conjunto de políticas y acciones que las empresas adoptan de manera voluntaria para contribuir a la sociedad, proteger a la naturaleza y mantener buenas relaciones con los agentes interesados en ellas.
There are many perception and judgement toward “social problems”. Henshel (1990) argues that social problems are social factors that adversely impact significant numbers of individuals in a similar way, but not all stressful conditions defined as social problems (pp. v-4). According to Moulder (2000) social problems are socially constructed by interaction of people with another in society as they define something as a problem and how they will regconize nature of the problem (p. 3). Social problems are also refer to behavior and condition that fail to comply with existing norms and values found in society (Long, 2012).

The problem is the occurrence of a person or several people in an alley or a dilemma, there are many aspects of the problem, political and social and personal. In this paper, I will discuss the social problems and their definitions and stages. The definition of social problems changed over time because the problems that have occurred in the past may not be congruent with what is happening now because of the evolution of time and the difference of individuals living in society. Social problems are the general factors that affect and damage society.
