A Touchy Subject: Seminar Response

Starter 12:  Stories About Poverty
IF ABSENT, TED TALK IS LINKED ON THE DOCUMENTS PAGE!
Before we watch this:

1. What story do you tell yourself about poverty?  Why do you think people are in poverty in the US?  What keeps them there?

After we watch:

1. What is her critique of the typical story that is told about poor people?
2. How did the story you tell yourself differ from the story this speaker told?  What do you think accounts for the difference (or similarity, if your story was very similar)?
