If I study child poverty at the micro, meso and macro levels. I would start with my community, which would be at the micro level. I went to downtown Los Angeles to look for groups of homeless children. I would observe different guys I find for a week. I would take notes on how they survive. I would observe where they eat, where and how they sleep. I would also observe their interaction with other people. After observing them for a week. I would choose 4 children to interview. I would choose two girls and two boys. I would interview an African American girl who is in poverty and living with her family who is almost 16 years old. I would also interview another Hispanic girl in her early teens, who does not live with her family. The boys I would interview would be similar to the girls except they were male. I would like to ask the group of subjects the following questions. How are you? , What do you want to be in life? And what does it take to get there? If you could be anywhere in the world, where would you be? And why? How did you get here? , What drives you? How do you keep a smile on your face? If you could change anything about your situation, what would you change first? , Last but not least, I would like to ask the question: do you think the changes start from you or from someone else? At the meso level. I would like to research several cities throughout California to find out the cause and effect of child poverty. I would add Northern California to my search. I would go to San Diego to do research on some topics and I would also go to Riverside and Orange County. I would like to study the similarities and differences to see how it varies. I would also like to see what different communities are doing... middle of paper... time has allowed the harsh treatment of African Americans to continue. This theory is critical because it cannot be measured at the micro level, but I believe this theory is very useful despite the criticism. History has proven this theory to be true time and time again, with all the different civil rights movements in history. This theory is at the meso and mark levels. It's hard to explain on a micro level. It is also difficult to verify this empirically. It is not effective in explaining cohesion and cooperation. It's too political or radical. Discrimination is normally seen on a broad level. Very rarely do we hear of a person being discriminated against. If Martin Luther King had marched alone in Washington DC there would have been no change. It took millions of people to march for change because millions of people have been affected by injustice for too long.
