Week 5 Discussion Simulation Activity: Poverty Decision How did you feel trying to get through the 30 days give the highly constraining circumstances of Spent? Did you notice anger, frustration, disbelief and cynicism? Frustration and relatable. I thankfully am in a better place financially now, but I struggled for most of my life. In that struggle, I went without health insurance and ignored any symptoms I may have had. I made payment plans on utility bills. I could not afford car insurance, so I was always driving at risk of getting pulled over and ticketed. Thankfully, I have always had my families support. We all lean on each other through rough time. Although, most of the time we were all in rough times. Either we lived together in small houses/apartments with all of our kids or we borrowed each other money when needed. Share some situations you faced, decisions you made, and the results of those decisions. Do you find the decisions and consequences to be accurate? My first job was an office temp as it’s similar to what I do now. I made choices based off my current situation. My income was depleted on day 7. My second try I choose the second shift warehouse job, as that is where I started working as an adult. I made choices as I did in those days: Said no to car insurance and registration, no to personal needs or wants, only the necessities, and asked family and friends for help. I got through day 30 with $15 but no money with rent sue the next day. This made me cry as I remembered the struggles I went through to provide for my kiddos. More so, because the results were right on with what I experienced. My last try I choose the last option, server. I compromised my choices just to see how far I would get. I made it through day 30 with $65 left but rent is due tomorrow. As I mentioned earlier, I know what it is to struggle. Growing up in a migrant family and then in low-income neighborhood in Grand Rapids. Taking the simulator brought back some sad memories but also reminded me of what pushed me to better my situation. It was not easy; it was actually pretty hard and took a lot of work and support from my family. I am so thankful that I am in a better place now but sad to know there are so many people that do struggle. US Census Which of these circumstances within the control of individuals? I don’t believe individuals can control the circumstances. The little bit they can, they do by the processes, resources and options they have avaible to them now. However, options are inadequate as historical systematic oppression palsy a huge role.

Which of them are examples of institutionalized barriers to success? 1. Slavery 2. Jim Crow Laws 3. Political Disempowerment 4. Segregation 5. Environmental Injustice 6. Criminal Justice System All impact education, health, geography and family structure. Examples: 1. Removal of Japanese Americans from general population and puts into concentration camps during World War II 2. The removal of American Indian children from their families and put in boarding homes far from home  Systematic efforts of assimilation removed many Native children from their tribal communities and placed in non-Indian-run residential schools. 3. Black Wall street – Tulsa Oklahoma:  Tulsa was affluent for its African American community known as the Greenwood District also referred as “Black Wall Street”  On June 1, 1921Greenwood was looted, burned and massacred by white rioters.  Historians belive that as many as 300 people may have died. On June 1, 1921
