Research Simulation
At this time I am still deciding what topic truly interest
me. I am always concerned about the topic of poverty. Since I work in the city
of Camden and have been a long time resident in the city, I have seen the
affects that poverty can have on children and their families. At the same time, I am interested in the
study of children and grief. This topic interests me because my students seem desensitized
about grief. Maybe it is away to examine
grief as it relates to poverty?
So far I have found a historian that has studied the
city of Camden. He has a website that he
has dedicated his retired life to, which examines the history of Camden
including the economical rise and fall of the city. I believe that his
information will give me a start to describe what happened economically to this
once highly industrialized city.
If anyone have any insights or suggestions about either poverty of
grief I would gladly appreciate the help.
Tarshia,
ReplyDeleteDo you have students who have gone through grief situations? I was curious because I think that often there is a lack of experience or understanding for a child to truly grasp a situation.
If they have experienced a situation where grieft would be a normal reaction, and had no reaction than you could definitely be on to something suggesting the correlation between poverty and grief. I will keep my eye out as I conduct research for any information that be of help to you.
Tarshia,I believe that this topic is important because children who live in poverty grow in environments that embrace inequality. I believe that your findings will help us to develop a deeper awareness about the disadvantages that these children face, and hopefully we become strong advocates for children to have more social justice.
