Poor kids paper

Order Description
Use your sociological imagination to analyze childhood poverty in the United States. Watch the film Poor Kids, a Frontline documentary aired in late 2012 on PBS. This film is from the point of view
of American children living in poverty. Poor Kids is approximately 54 minutes long, and is posted in the Paper 2 folder in Blackboard.
Use Poor Kids and other course resources to answer the four questions below:
(1) Provide evidence that childhood poverty is a public issue in the United States.
(2) Describe the personal troubles associated with child poverty in the United States.

(3) What macro-level social forces (social structures) contribute to and/or cause child poverty in the United States.
(4) Lastly, use functionalism or conflict theory to explain the persistence of childhood poverty in the United States. Hint: use specific ideas from the theory to support your answer.
