i think that although we can make our own definitions of poverty i dont understand why they matter because we must use the definition that is provided to us by the federal government. i agree with everyone who says that poverty can be dehumanizing. i also think that it is impossible to come up with a univeral definition of poverty because being poor means different things for different people. just like if we were asked to define freedom. i think that if we can find a counterplan that includes revising the definition of poverty that would be pretty cool. also, i think that kritiques are going to be a big deal this year compared to last. last year the capitalism k was not big at all, but i think we are going to see it a lot more often.
