Research Question
I noticed as I was researching there is a lot of bias and stereotyping put on low-income families. I noticed at Baby Steps that mothers recieve points for not resorting to drugs and alcohol and much of the information that I research seems to assume that these mothers are depressed and single. I would like to if things such as drugs and alcohol, depression or other psychological illnesses are a result of living low-income or if they can be linked to the cause of it.

Hi English 102 (who is this? Could you change your posting name to your actual name?)
ReplyDeleteAs I mentioned in Liz' post, I was kind of hoping for more than just a single sentence (see the unit two sheet), although this question has some great potential.
"Physical and psychological [e]ffects" on whom? The baby? The parent(s)? The community? The nation? Each of these would be a great way to focus this question.
What other factors need to be addressed in answering this question? Think about location, age, ethnicity, lifestyle (this in particular could yield some very interesting ways to focus the topic), etc.
Also, see my response to Liz' question about how arguable this is.
Keep at it!
