Question

Watch some television and take notes on representations of the poor. Look for patterns in race, gender, family structures, etc. Additionally, pay attention to the way TV frames the causes of poverty. Clearly explain whether these causes are individualistic or social. In other words, clearly explain whether poor people in the media are portrayed as being deserving of their poverty or as victims of social forces beyond their control. Provide two clear examples to illustrate your position.

Answer 1

Television shows usually portray poor people from a different country as a news matter. As we can the pattern, it is usually war, epidemics, riots, natural calamities, or ethnic cleansing,

The TV shows take their subject and focus on the issue which is responsible for poverty or making people poor; No one wants to be poor by choice.

After World War II the US was the richest country in the world today's analysis shows that 13.5 percent of Americans are poor. There are circumstances like Civil war, racism, ethnic cleansing which do attribute to the poverty of an individual. Individual characteristics of poverty may be attributed to employment lost, discrimination like Afro American and European American, The individual, and structural factors are invariably interconnected,

The TV shows portray that the poverty in some cases is genuine which has happened due to the circumstances which are beyond somebody's control like natural calamities, sudden war, or epidemics or man-made like loss of employment riots or civil war. No one deserves to be poor, these shows bring out the policies implemented by the governing body, if structural policies are good the poverty will be less If structural factors favor one class of the system the poverty will be on rising. Watching some TV shows I came to the conclusion that TV shows in certain matters portray government policies as the government wants them to show, few points out the social forces keeping a certain class of people. Poor, no one deserves to be poor by removing discrimination in institutions and giving equal opportunity to each and every one and providing social justice is a must. TV anchors play their honestly.

1. As can be seen in the case of Cancer Alley where most of the people affected are African American g Groundwater contamination has been linked to gastric cancer. This is policy matter where mostly affected are the ethnic group of African American

2. Any boom in construction jobs is brief and the far fewer permanent jobs are created many jobs for local people, the wealth is enjoyed by industrialist,

Unemployment, sickness and social injustice, race, and color play in important role, and people are poor and not having quality life,
