Watch Gary Haugen’s TED Talk, The Hidden Reason for Poverty the World Needs to Address Now. Reflect on the ideas presented in the talk and write a short paper addressing the following:
Interconnections and Complexity: Discuss your interpretation of how social class, poverty, and discrimination intersect with factors such as race, ethnicity, age, gender, and education.
Relationships: Explore how these factors are related. Consider examples or insights from the TED Talk or your own understanding to explain how these elements influence and reinforce one another.
Independence: Analyze how certain aspects might operate independently of one another. Are there ways in which one factor, such as education, can exist separately from issues of race or gender in contributing to poverty?
