1) Poverty can be defined as a way of life that involves no future planning, no enduring commitment to marriage and no work ethic. Some sociologists claim poverty is a culture and follows the poor even when they move out of ghetto. Do you believe there is such a thing as a culture of poverty? Explain your response.
2) Person-centered thinking places people and their capabilities, interests, and gifts before their diagnoses or treatments. For example, a child diagnosed with cerebral palsy would not be called “the child in the wheelchair” but instead would be recognized by the same traits that any other child might be: “Tommy likes trains and always remembers everyone’s birthday.” Could this practice of person-centered thinking be beneficial to other areas of diversity as well? Why?
