INTRODUCTION
The case study discusses a very important issue prevailing in these economically tough conditions. The United Arab Emirates, UAE, nowadays faces a very severe situation of poverty due to the rapid development in the region. The gap between the rich and poor is increasing rapidly which is mainly due to an overall poor socio-economic status.
Several ideologists have proposed ways in order to eradicate poverty and have proposed theories as how to eradicate and eliminate the increasing poverty line, especially among children, who should be exposed to a cleaner environment, and be educated, well fed and provided good facilities.
The poor class tend to over stay their visa tenure in search for greener pastures, and in turn, leave their children unattended (A.Krenawi 2004). This multi cultural and multi racial society faces a greater difficulty due to a vast communication gap and lack of access to basic facilities. Children in the poverty line, who are also exposed to severe malnutrition are vulnerable to a myriad of disease and viruses. They tend to develop a sense of inferiority and lose confidence in themselves. This is detrimental for the overall development of the progress of the UAE, as children have to be well trained and cherished for and be given the basic provisions for a healthier lifestyle.
OPINION
This is a very optimistic approach conducted by the ideologists mentioned in the article, especially that by Payne. Poverty prevails due to an overall socio-economic deteriorating condition that is further heightened by a bad family structure which should also be considered. Poverty often leads to high levels of frustration and aggression, and thus domestic violence is not uncommon in the UAE, which have a high level of child abuse cases (C. Lauber, 2006). Children should be encouraged and lured to attend the shelter homes provided by agencies. These agencies should be very well equipped and trainers should be fully aware as how to attend to these children who have been victims of criminal negligence and need to treated with utmost love and care. This is especially important in the UAE, as the children need to cross the language barriers and the cultural barriers.
I think the white collar childrens theme proposed by the Havens is logical and proposes a doable mode of action in the eradication of poverty, as children do tend to watch other kids and imitate them. Thus, they can develop their etiquettes and change their lifestyles accordingly.
ADVANTAGES
Payne has offered a realistic approach of dividing the society into three classes, lower, middle and upper. However, he needs to further look into the family structure and adopt a more realistic approach that family plays a vital role in eliminating poverty. Payne focuses on the individual child and proposes themes to groom the child and provide the necessities so that the child can himself be equipped to face the world appropriately and play his constructive role in the development of the nation. A positive approach adopted by the various agencies is the adoption to cross cultures and crossing the language barriers and becoming more accommodating to the needs of various social circles and respecting the criteria set by various ethnic groups. In this way the child develops a stronger sense of security and confidence and will be deeply involved in the shelter homes and tend to change them.
Public awareness campaigns launched tend to educate the masses on how to develop equality among the society and not to laugh and mock at the poor. This culture is important in the UAE, as now people tend to distribute their wealth and philanthropists have started shelter homes to help the under privileged (UAE business etiquettes).
DISADVANTAGES
Payne fails to include the family structure, which is severely lacking in his theme and ideology. He needs to feel the importance of the inclusion of fathers in a family structure and the important role they play in the development of his child. In the UAE, workers tend to give over-time duties and work in shifts rotation duties, by which their children tend to be ignored and resort to malpractices which in turn leads to a higher poverty level. Moreover, with the multi racial society prevalent in the UAE, children tend to look up to the economically advantaged westerners and tend to imitate them, and develop a stronger sense of complex and insecurity. Thus, the manner by which shelter homes try to eradicate poverty should be modified, and newer remedies should be proposed.
This is a very mind boggling issue, especially in the UAE with the numerous ethnic and cultural groups that play their vital roles in the society. Ideologies proposed to eradicate poverty and bridge the widening gap should be realistic and should be implemented in shelter homes. Children should be the prime focus of these agencies, as it will be a good investment to groom the younger generation, who can play their respective roles in the development and progress of the society. This is especially essential in the current economic crunch faced by the UAE.
