For this discussion board, you are required to discuss the issues that cause poverty and/or the impact of poverty. Ideally, students will either reference the poverty articles directly or draw ideas from them. In addition, given that this is a film class and we will be dealing with the ways in which poverty is represented in film, please feel free to include either personal observations or insights you might have about the ways in which poverty is presented/discussed in the media, television, and film.
