Bellwrite #53: Draw a model that explains the causes of poverty.
We spent the first hour working on developing models. Each model includes assumptions about the nature of man (Are people naturally good and if they have the right resources and opportunities will work hard to excel? Or are people naturally lazy and look for the easiest way out?) and whether or not resources are scarce or abundant. A model is good if it is useful. We will test the usefulness of your models by asking you to use them to help you find a solution to poverty for your social entrepreneurship project.
During the second hour, I shared a presentation on the history of human population. We saw that human population, which grew dramatically following the Industrial Revolution, is now actually ebbing, particularly in developed countries.
Homework:
