Summing Up
Hello everyone! Ok, so the assignment is due today in approximately 4 hours; as such, it seems we should all decide on our questions within this time frame. So just to sum up (correct me if I'm wrong), the following 4 are our FINAL questions?:
- Rawan, these are the questions submitted by you verbatim, along with Dalia's submission***:
1)How does poverty affect you and your family? A) Greatly B)Slightly C)Not at all
2)Do you believe poverty reduction is the responsibility of private charity or government action?'
3)Do you agree/disagree that increases in minimum wage is necessary for reducing poverty? A) yes B) No OR Do you believe increasing the minimum wage in BC [to $12 as proposed by the NDP} will help to reduce the poverty level?
4)Would you be in favor of a provincial wage increase? answer: a) yes b) no
5)Do you think that a provincial wage increase will reduce or increase the overall poverty rate in the province? answer: a) increase b) decrease c) not make an impact'
Is everone in agreement with this format?? If not, please make your contributions as needed.
Perfect! but for question 3 are we choosing one of them? if yes i prefer this one: Do you believe increasing the minimum wage in BC [to $12 as proposed by the NDP} will help to reduce the poverty level? because the 1st one is sort of answered in the 5th question
i also agree that 3 questions on wage is too much! question #3 is redundant if we're gonna stick with questions #4 and #5
Yes we'll choose one question for number 3. I prefer the first minimum wage question over the NDP question because the NDP is too specific and might be misleading to believe that $12 is the only option there is or that increasing the minimum wage will always reduce the poverty level.
I unfortunately disagree with the NDP question and prefer the first one.
also question 4 seems to be similar to question 3 so we should choose either or
