#1 A working definition of poverty is the extent to which an individual does without resources. These resources are the ability to purchase goods and services, emotional resilience, mental ability, and spiritual belief.

#2 Support systems are resources. They are individuals who can help you when you need it, and they are not just about financial or emotional support. They are about knowledge bases as well.

#3 Hidden rules are the unspoken understandings that cue the members of a group about whether an individual fits in or not. To move from one class to the next, it is important to have a spouse or mentor from the class you want to move to model and teach you the hidden rules.

#4 John’s mother, Adele, is a 29-year-old female. She is a doctor’s wife who has quit college to support her husband while he goes through medical school. She is elated when John is born, but her husband divorces her one year later and announces he is in love with another woman.
