This month we are discussing economics and how it plays out it in the world around us. I am asking you if this a question of limited resources? a values decision? or a reflection of society? Does government need to play a role in creating rules around this?
Please make a claim and defend your reasoning. :) (This is women's history month)

The issues of economics are rooted in the decision of "who gets what". Below are 4 different models. Choose 2 you want to read about.

Watch the video and answer the following questions:

Read the article (highlight the changes to Bangladesh). Think about: should the government care about poverty in their country? Why is poverty bad for a country (and not just the individual)? How would you connect what you read to US policy? Instructions: find a passage in the reading to highlight (evidence, connections or questions)
