Question Based on the powerpoint script below, perform this activity: Write a reflection of your experience creating your Biblical Basis: Final Assignment. Discuss your presentation topic and what you learned creating the presentation. Please be specific about both biblical and social work values (use the presentation Social Work Values and the Bible). Sources must be cited please. (1-2pages) Biblical Basis Powerpoint Script Slide 1: Creative Plan The PowerPoint presentation will use a minimalistic design approach that highlights the key points from each supporting source with images. Each slide will consist of two to three sentences summarizing the main idea from the source, along with an image that reinforces the message. The images will be carefully chosen to capture the essence of the text and to engage the audience's attention. For example, for one slide, the PowerPoint may use an image of a child sitting on the ground looking up, representing the impact of poverty on education. In another slide, the presentation may use an image of a teacher instructing students in a classroom, representing the importance of education in poverty reduction. The images will be high-quality, visually appealing, and meaningful. Overall, the PowerPoint presentation will aim to convey the key messages of each source in an accessible and engaging way through the use of carefully selected and thoughtfully presented images. Slide 2: Introduction The issue of helping the needy and the poor is an essential aspect of modern society that requires careful attention and analysis. It is a critical area that needs to be addressed, given the significant impact of poverty on individuals and society. Poverty can negatively affect various aspects of a person's life, including health, education, and employment. For instance, low-income individuals are more likely to suffer from chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension due to poor nutrition, lack of access to healthcare, and stress caused by poverty. Moreover, poverty can limit individuals' access to quality education and job opportunities, leading to a cycle of poverty and limited social mobility. Therefore, the issue of helping the needy and the poor is a crucial aspect of modern society and requires careful attention and analysis. Slide 3: Luke The Gospel of Luke, which is one of the four canonical Gospels in the New Testament, emphasizes the importance of helping the poor and needy. Luke 14:13-14 states, "But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just." Through this passage, Jesus encourages his followers to show compassion and kindness to those in need. He emphasizes that true generosity comes from a genuine desire to help others, rather than a desire for recognition and reward. The Gospel of Luke also mentions several instances where Jesus helps the poor, sick, and needy. For example, Jesus heals a leper, a blind beggar, and a paralyzed man, showing that he prioritizes those who are vulnerable and in need.

Slide 4: Deaton, A. (2013). The Great Escape: Health, Wealth, and the Origins of Inequality . Princeton University Press. Deaton (2013) provides an overview of current trends in global poverty and inequality. The author highlights how poverty affects individuals and society and the causes and consequences of poverty. Deaton (2013) argues that poverty has many negative impacts on people's lives, including limited access to education, healthcare, and employment opportunities. Poverty also increases the risk of hunger, malnutrition, and premature death. To reduce poverty and improve well-being, the author suggests that policies should focus on increasing economic growth, reducing income inequality, and improving access to basic services like education and healthcare. From a Scriptural perspective, Luke 6:20-21 says, "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied (King James Bible, 2017)." Deaton's argument for policies that focus on increasing economic growth, reducing income inequality, and improving access to basic services like education and healthcare aligns with the Scriptural view of providing for the poor and hungry. Slide 5: Liu, F., Li, L., Zhang, Y. Q., Ngo, Q.-T., & Iqbal, W. (2021). Role of Education in poverty reduction: Macroeconomic and social determinants form developing economies. Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 28(44), 63163–63177. Liu et al. (2021) examine the role of social policies in poverty reduction. The researchers analyze the effectiveness of current welfare programs in addressing poverty and suggest ways to improve welfare policies to better help the poor and needy. Liu et al. (2021) argue that current welfare policies often focus too much on providing financial assistance to the poor rather than addressing the root causes of poverty. To effectively reduce poverty, the scholars suggest policies that focus on improving education and job training, increasing access to affordable housing, and providing healthcare and other basic services to the poor. Luke 4:18 states, "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free (King James Bible, 2017)." Liu et al.'s (2021) suggestion to improve education and job training, increase access to affordable housing, and provide healthcare and other basic services to the poor align with the Scriptural view of addressing the root causes of poverty and oppression. Slide 6: Baugh, A. D., Vanderbilt, A. A., & Baugh, R. F. (2019). The dynamics of poverty, educational attainment, and the children of the disadvantaged entering medical school. Advances in Medical Education and Practice, Volume 10, 667–676. Baugh, Vanderbilt and Baugh (2019) provide an overview of the impact of poverty on education and the workforce. The researchers analyze the challenges faced by low-income individuals in accessing education and employment opportunities and suggests policies and programs to increase educational and job opportunities for the poor. Baugh, Vanderbilt and Baugh (2019) argue that poverty often leads to a cycle of low educational attainment and limited job prospects. To break this cycle, the scholars recommend policies that provide access to quality education and job training programs, as well as job placement and support services to help low-income

individuals find and maintain employment. Luke 4:19 says, "to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor (King James Bible, 2017)." This phrase refers to the Jubilee year in the Old Testament, where debts were forgiven, slaves were set free, and the land was returned to its original owners. The researchers' suggestion to provide access to quality education and job training programs, as well as job placement and support services to help low-income individuals find and maintain employment aligns with the Scriptural view of providing opportunities for individuals to break free from poverty. Slide 7: Habibov, N., Auchynnikava, A., & Luo, R. (2019). Poverty does make us sick. Annals of Global Health, 85(1). Habibov, Auchynnikava and Luo (2019) explain the impact of poverty on health and well-being. The scholars analyze the challenges faced by low-income individuals in accessing healthcare services and recommends policies and programs to improve healthcare access and outcomes for the poor. Habibov, Auchynnikava and Luo (2019) argue that poverty often leads to poor health outcomes, as low-income individuals are less likely to receive preventive care and are more likely to suffer from chronic diseases. To address these issues, the researchers suggest policies that improve access to healthcare services, expand health insurance coverage, and support community-based health programs for low-income individuals. Luke 10:33-35 tells the parable of the Good Samaritan, who provided care for a man who was beaten and left on the road (King James Bible, 2017). Habibov, Auchynnikava and Luo's (2019) recommendations to improve access to healthcare services, expand health insurance coverage, and support community-based health programs for low-income individuals support the Scriptural view of providing care and compassion for those in need. Slide 8: Knifton, L., & Inglis, G. (2020). Poverty and mental health: Policy, practice and research implications. BJPsych Bulletin, 44(5), 193–196. Knifton and Inglis (2020) examine the impact of poverty on mental health and well-being. The researchers analyze the challenges faced by low-income individuals in accessing mental health services and recommends policies and programs to increase access to mental health services for the poor. Knifton and Inglis (2020) argue that poverty often leads to increased stress and anxiety, which can lead to mental health issues. To address these issues, the researchers suggest policies that increase access to mental health services, provide support for mental health treatment, and reduce the stigma associated with mental illness. Luke 10:27 says, "Love your neighbor as yourself (King James Bible, 2017)." The researchers' recommendation to increase access to mental health services, provide support for mental health treatment, and reduce the stigma associated with mental illness follow the Scriptural perspective of caring for one's neighbor and providing support for those who are struggling. Slide 9: Sleet, D. A., & Francescutti, L. H. (2021). Homelessness and public health: A focus on strategies and solutions. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 18(21), 11660 Sleet and Francescutti (2021) offer an overview of the impact of poverty on housing and homelessness. The researchers analyze the challenges faced by low-income individuals in

accessing affordable and safe housing and recommends policies and programs to improve housing affordability and reduce homelessness among the poor. Sleet and Francescutti (2021) argue that poverty often leads to housing insecurity and homelessness, as low-income individuals struggle to afford adequate housing. To address these issues, the authors recommend policies that increase access to affordable housing, provide rental assistance to low-income individuals, and support community-based housing programs for the poor. Luke 14:13-14 states, "But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous (King James Bible, 2017)." Sleet and Francescutti's (2021) view to increase access to affordable housing, provide rental assistance to low-income individuals, and support community-based housing programs for the poor aligns with the Scriptural perspective of caring for those who are in need and providing for the vulnerable. Slide 10: King James Bible. (2017). King James Bible. King James Bible Online. <https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/> In Luke's Gospel, Jesus teaches his followers about the importance of helping the poor and needy. Luke 14:13-14 states, "But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed (King James Bible, 2017)." This passage highlights the importance of being kind and generous towards those in need without expecting anything in return. Throughout Luke's Gospel, there are numerous examples of acts of charity towards the poor and needy. In Luke 10:29-37, Jesus tells the parable of the Good Samaritan, in which a Samaritan man stops to help a stranger who has been beaten and left for dead, while others pass him by (King James Bible, 2017). This parable teaches us to show compassion and help those in need, regardless of their social status or background. Furthermore, in Luke 12:33-34, Jesus encourages his followers to sell their possessions and give to the poor, stating that "where your treasure is, there your heart will be also (King James Bible, 2017)." This passage highlights the idea that true generosity comes from a selfless desire to help those in need, rather than a desire for recognition or reward. Overall, Luke's Gospel emphasizes the importance of helping the poor and needy, and highlights the value of acts of charity towards those in need. These teachings remain relevant today, and serve as a reminder that true generosity comes from compassion and love for our fellow human beings. Slide 11: Conclusion In summary, the sources reviewed in this paper have highlighted the multifaceted nature of poverty and the various ways in which it impacts the lives of individuals and society as a whole. The authors have emphasized the importance of addressing the root causes of poverty, such as lack of access to education, healthcare, and employment opportunities, in order to effectively reduce poverty and improve the well-being of the poor and needy.

Moving forward, there is a need for continued research and policy development in this area, with a focus on evidence-based interventions that address the complex interplay of economic, social, and environmental factors that contribute to poverty. This includes policies and programs that prioritize education and job training, healthcare access, and affordable housing for the poor. Ultimately, there is a moral imperative to address the needs of the poor and needy, as poverty not only affects individuals but also has negative consequences for society as a whole. It is time for increased attention and investment in addressing poverty, with a call to action for governments, NGOs, and individuals to work together to create a more just and equitable society for all. By integrating the Scriptural perspective from the Book of Luke with the supporting sources, we can gain a better understanding of the moral imperative to help those in need and work towards building a more just and equitable society.
