The issue I am interesting in researching and doing my service learning project with is poverty. Poverty is not only a issue in Arizona but an increasing issue around the world. The social issue I decided to address is Poverty. Poverty is an ongoing problem in our society. Poverty is a social issue that is clearly defined by the four characteristics. Poverty impacts people all over the world on every continent and in every country. You can find poverty in a local setting, a societal setting, and even a global one. There are many factors that cause poverty for example, little to no education or lack of resources, and these affects run down communities, cause broken households, and the list can go on. Poverty can be documented by the use of data or even be observed in the field. So it is clear to see that poverty is a social issue. The social action I have decided to take to help reduce poverty is by volunteering at St. Vincent de Paul family dinner program. This directly relates to my social issue, which is poverty, because St. Vincent de Paul only feeds low income families, or families who live in poverty. Now of course there are different levels of poverty, but our state and city defines it as lower income families.
