The Frontline documentary, Poor Kids, provides a view into the lives of several families who are caught in the cycle of powerful stressors, including poverty and homelessness.

Write an essay comparing and analyzing the children and their families profiled in this documentary. Use Times New Roman, 12 point font. Write a minimum of 3 pages.

Address each of the following prompts in your essay:

Use the Ecological Systems Model to analyze each family featured in the film. Identify and discuss the events that occurred in their lives within the theory’s lens, Meso, Macro, and Chrono systems.
Explain how the events within the various systems had an impact on the family’s Microsystem. In other words, what occurred within the outside reaches of each of the families and how did it have a direct impact on their existence and their day to day lives.
How did the educational systems cope with the growing population of families in crisis, including homelessness and financial stressors?
how would the different challenges experiences by these families affect the socialization process and emotional development of the children?
Be sure to discuss the social, economic, community events and situations that played apart of the different family functions that were presented in the video.

Consider this: who is going to do the long-term research and investigative reporting that roots out corruption if all news is free and not done by professional journalists?

As you do the readings and watch the videos, think about what challenges and opportunities arise from the transformation in news gathering and reporting made possible by the internet and in the proliferation of easy access to information. After doing the readings and watching the videos, write a post about these transformations. You must reference at least 3 of the articles.

Some thoughts to get you started:

Do you and your friends and family fit the models of news consumption described in the Pew articles? You may want to refer to some of the charts and graphs and cite some statistics from the articles to make your case.
Can limiting your reading to what is posted by like-minded friends on social media make you narrow-minded? How? You may need to cite specific articles and passages to make your case.
What have you learned about the uses of Wikipedia and its credibility as a source? [If you viewed the optional video on the Metal Umlaut, you can discuss that in your answer, too.]
Think about everyday access to an important newspaper like the Washington Post. Would you pay for it, or do you think all news should be free? Consider this: who is going to do the long-term research and investigative reporting that roots out corruption if all news is free and not done by professional journalists? [Hint: read the optional reading on investigative journalism for more about this topic.]

Cite each source at the bottom of its panel

What should my Conclusion contain?

Identify the topic as science, proto-science, non-science or pseudo-science
Explain your choice using your Baloney Detection Kit
Discuss any relevant cognitive biases

Employees have little time between shifts and do not have the optimal amount of time to unwind before going to bed, leaving them feeling exhausted.

CON initial argument:

Increases the risk of compassion fatigue and exhaustion when working three or more consecutive 12-hour shifts in a row. Employees have little time between shifts and do not have the optimal amount of time to unwind before going to bed, leaving them feeling exhausted. (Cassandra Z.)
Strong evidence linked to 12-hour shifts and increased concern for quality care and safety of patients. When on the job for a long period of time, employees become tired and lack the appropriate judgment and thinking skills, resulting in errors and patient harm (Harris et. al, 2015). (Cassandra Z.)
Increased risk of ergonomics and workplace injuries due to the prolonged exposure to physical demands. Such injuries include neck and back pain, overall fatigue and malaise, and carpal tunnel syndrome (Gaille, 2019). (Cassandra Z.)
Evidence shows that working 12-hour shifts can lead to job dissatisfaction in nurses. A study revealed that job dissatisfaction was 1.5 times higher in nurses working 12-hour shifts, when compared to those working eight-hour shifts (More Data, 2017). (Morgan K.)
When nurses work longer shifts, they are more likely to leave care undone. The care they are providing has a higher risk of being poor quality. A study showed that care left undone was 1.13 times higher in nurses working 12-hour shifts when compared to those working eight-hour shifts. Poor quality of care was 1.64 times higher in 12-hour shifts (More Data, 2017). (Morgan K.)
Working 12-hour shifts can increase nurses risk for developing health problems, including anxiety, depression, and anxiety (Meinke, 2019). (Morgan K.)
Working long shifts can impact nurses social life (Meinke, 2019). A lot of times our days off are during the week when most of the world is working. We work holidays and weekends, which takes away time from family and friends. (Morgan K.)
