Tonight I did some English research: The causes, consequences and possible solutions for the dispossessed in literature. Gooood times. Self confessed English nerd. :)
Seriously though: I love stuff that makes you think. I love that this research feels like it has a purpose - I have DISCOVERED stuff in this research.
The texts overall offered four solutions to dispossession.
The Christian response - feed the hungry etc (Though short-term and dependant, not a bad idea from my point of view)
The Governmental responsibility response - Government has to lead initiatives otherwise all efforts fail.
The self-responsibility response - dispossessed must fight their way out of dispossession, especially if they did not cause their own dispossession
and lastly the blatant - there is no solution. A song I looked at was just like "mumble your pitiful prayers - If you're looking for a blanket, I'm no sort of fabric." Kinda like - who cares? I wrote about a thousand words on the song in the log phase of my research and my teacher wrote on the page, 'Sounds like a cop-out to me!" True, true.
Just give them a feed man.
