...difficulty. There were nobles who had a more sustainable life because to their food choices, clothing options and shelter availability. However, on the other end of the feudal system were the peasants. These people had an extremely harsh life, because of the things that were available to them. They had less food availability, bad clothing options and poor shelter. These three factors impacted on everyone’s lives in the middle ages. One of the main things that affects someone’s life is the food that they have access to. Peasants in the middle ages did not have good access to food. A contributing factor to this is that they weren’t allowed to go to the markets; however, that did not have an impact on them because they could not purchase anything due to their lack of money. They did not have enough money to buy any good quality food and the food that they did have was not...

...If I became homeless, I would have to find a way to survive. I could either complain and do the bare minimum and live terribly, or I could tough it out and do everything I can to raise the quality of living. Since I’m homeless, the need for me to do my utmost best to raise my standards of living is very high. This leads me to the question, what exactly do I need to survive and where can I find these things? The items themselves are many and will be discussed in detail shortly. But I would get them in Fremont. This is because I am familiar with this city and that can greatly help me, as I know where everything is located. Fremont is an upper-middle class city with both rich and poor areas. It has no tall buildings but a lot of houses, shopping centers, and parks. First thing I would need is water. Water can be easily found anywhere. A Lot of public places have water fountains. Public bathrooms have running water and usually have a water fountain somewhere nearby. To prevent fom going to a water fountain or bathroom for water, I’d get a plastic container and fill it up with water for future use. Plastic Containers can be found in any recycling bin of either houses or apartment complexes. People usually don't store their containers such as water bottles and gallon containers in their house, so it usually ends up in the recycling bin. If going to an apartment complex, It’ll be found in one big center recycling dumpster, which is good because those kind of bigger dumpsters aren’t...

...the Social Security Administration and had already been working on projects that measured poverty according to the article “Mollie Orshansky: Author of the Poverty Thresholds” written by Gordon M. Fisher (15). Mollie Orshansky determined that poverty meant “insufficient income to provide the food, shelter, and clothing needed to preserve health” (Kimmel and Aronson 198). Orshansky determined that the minimal necessity of shelter and cloths was hard to measure, but that food was not. Therefore, she used a cost of providing food for a family as the sole factor to determine the numeric value necessary to preserve health. The Department of Agriculture had provided several different meal plan guidelines that met the least nutritional requirements. According to “Poverty Line Problems: The History of an Outdated Measurement” written by Matthew Green the department of agriculture these guidelines were called “The Economy Plan”. In order for Mollie to create the measurement, she used the meal plan that was the cheapest food cost as one third of the minimum income needed to provide for a family. This value then created the measurement she used for food, clothing and shelter because she tripled the food value. If your income is less than this amount, then you are below the poverty line (Kimmel and Aronson 198). The poverty line, that was created by Mollie Orshansky and used by the United States government,...

For some individuals the situations that they may need assistance with include coping with the loss of a job or income, meeting basic needs including the need for food, shelter or clothing or help out of a dangerous situation. For other individuals the challenges that they may be facing may be internal such as depression, a physical illness or disability or some other mental or physical health crisis.

...for humans to live there without technological help of some sort. Technological Support: Surviving Antarctica Everyone has basic survival requirements to survive for a suited habitat. But when placed in extreme weather conditions suffer its consequences if not supported with adequate technological support. These are shelter from the elements, clothing, food, and water. In the Antarctic, most of the food people eat goes directly to generating heat. For example, even when a person feels comfortably warm, they are using over half their total caloric intake just to maintain their body temperature. The colder it gets outside the body, the more food people need. So delivering high energy foods to humans in Antarctica benefit them so they are able to maintain a stable body temperature. Water is also obtained by melting the snow and separating the salt water into clean drinking water to prevent dehydration. Special insulation clothing is also essential for survival in extreme weather conditions such as in Antarctica. The clothing that traps the most heat is made from new fabrics that trap heat, but let perspiration evaporate. To contain the most heat the clothing...

...There are Not Enough Shelters for the Homeless Jacob Hogue Sean Smith English 111-61f April 13, 2016(2206) Abstract Department of Housing and Urban Development should allocate enough money to The Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority to build enough shelters for homeless people in Indiana to get off the streets. There are all kinds of costs that come along with arresting a homeless person like court costs, booking costs and even paperwork. If enough shelters were built for the homeless people, they would be less likely to be committing crimes and therefor would be costing the state less money to book them. Working and keeping up homeless support administrations projects, for example, homeless safe houses, day focuses, homeless therapeutic administrations etcetera are exorbitant endeavors. The public does because these stores then have to raise the prices of the clothing and food to pay for the food and clothes that were stolen by the homeless people. Department of Housing and Urban Development the death rate of homeless people with be dramatically reduced. If the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority gets the funding from the U. If not things like homeless starvation, drug overdose, public urination, and stealing from stores will never stop happening. S. Guess who pays for that. There are many shelter homes for homeless people in Indianapolis. Although there are many shelters there are still many people that are homeless. One of the many...

...My personal engagement project consisted of me working with the homeless community. I was a case manager at a family shelter in framingham, and we had a woman named Laurie Laba sponsor the shelter. I later began to help assist Laurie in her community work with the homeless. Laurie and I are both very civically engaged with the homeless community in many ways. Laurie’s husband, Neale, is a music producer. Her produces folk music and they hold concerts at their house in Sudbury, Ma. Typically three or two months prior to the concert Laurie and I type up a detailed flyer regarding information about the concert. On the left side of the flyer is a section that is named homeless community. Underneath that section we give a brief description about the family shelter is framingham and list what the needs are for the house. We don't just come up with a random list of what we think the shelter might need. Prior to making the flyer we call or sometimes show up in person and speak with the program supervisor about what are the most important things that the families living in the shelter and the shelter itself is in need for. Depending on the season, we would typically be told that the shelter is in need of winter, or summer clothes. We would get a lot of toiletries request, such as paper towels, toilet papers, and cleaning supplies. The children living in the shelter vary from newborn to 17 years old, so we often like to get a list of the children's sizes, and favorite colors, so we could...
