Which factor contributed most to the rising number of homeless and poverty stricken people in america?
ICE Princess25 [194]
There are a number of factors that have contributed to the increase in poverty and homelessness.

After the Great Depression the United States had a more welfare model to support the economy, this resulted in development of government housing schemes, investment in infrastructure etc which all created jobs.

After World War II as the United States became the dominant economic force in the world, a more capitalistic model was enforced. By the 1960s, poverty began to rise again.

Up until 1970s manufacturing jobs still provided a huge cushion for the poor but as the United States opened by, more and more jobs started to leave America. Most of the jobs that left were the low-paying jobs for low skilled workforce.
 
Loss of jobs, low welfare benefits, the failure of the private sector to build low-cost homes, numerous recessions as well as the recent Great Recession, have all contributed to the rise of poverty and homelessness.

Which of the following is an example of ethnocentrism? a. "Why won’t you look me in the eye when I am talking to you!" b. "Wow,
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

a. "Why won’t you look me in the eye when I am talking to you!"

Explanation:

In sociology, the term ethnocentrism refers to the phenomenon by which we measure other cultures based in the standards that we use in our own culture and therefore <u>this stops us from understanding other culture's norms and traditions.</u> In other words, we look at the world through the perspective of our own culture.

In this example, the option that has to do with judging one person based on the norms of our own culture would be a. "Why won’t you look me in the eye when I am talking to you!" since <u>in some cultures, looking to one person in the eye is considered a disrespectful sign </u>and <u>this person is judging the other one and getting upset because the other person is not looking at him/her in the eye when it's probably because of the different cultures they belong to. </u>
