SoHum Woman Wanted for Multiple Misdemeanor Warrants

i dont think the first commenter wants to see this lady live this way. But i think the appearance that law enforcement is focusing on finding an addict instead of missing people and/or their killers is galling to ‘Anon.’

for those of you who are just annoyed, it is distressing to watch our community members fall into this pit of hopelessness when alternatives seem so blatantly obvious to us.

but studies have shown that english and american culture tends to create ‘generational poverty’ in some communities. And those families often respond with abundant statistical rates of hopelessness. https://www.jrf.org.uk/report/psychological-perspectives-poverty
“Negative [judgement from others] affect how people see themselves. Those experiencing poverty show significantly lower levels of confidence in their own ability to succeed. This has negative physical and psychological health consequences, along with reduced educational and professional attainment.”

In Britain, “A recent Institute of Education study found that teachers also attribute negative characteristics to children in poverty and perceive them to be less able. If children internalise the stereotypes projected on to them while so young, it does nothing to boost their life chances.”

And Givers by Design observe, “Extreme poverty sets in motion a chain of cause and effect that ends in hopelessness. It is important to note that the hopelessness that is the defining characteristic of extreme poverty is not a character flaw in the poor. On the contrary, it is the dehumanizing end result of this chain of cause and effect.”

and further studies have shown immigrant families tend to stay stronger and have more optimism.
The Pew Research Center Observes, “This relative optimism among Hispanics is even more notable because as a group they express less satisfaction with the quality of their own lives today (64% say it’s good or excellent) than do either whites (86% good or excellent) or blacks (76% good or excellent). One reason for the disparity in current satisfaction may be the relatively low weekly earnings of Hispanics in the U.S., which average only about two-thirds of weekly earnings among non-Hispanic Americans. Another might be their relative lack of education; 40% of Hispanics ages 25 and older have less than a high school degree compared with 16% of whites and 21% of blacks.”

but Pew’s paper only guess at the reasons, “One possible explanation is that they filter their expectations through the prism of their current, difficult circumstances. The future may look up for Hispanics, in short, because from where they sit, just about everything looks up.

“Another contributing factor might be the immigrant experience itself. Leaving one country in search of a life elsewhere is a self-selective process—the immigrant often takes on the challenge where others don’t because he or she believes that in doing so life will get better. And, even if going to a new land involves hardships, immigrants tend to believe fervently that it will make life better for their kids.”
