Annotated Bibliography

Posted by Tamatha Lancaster in English 3 - Pahomov on Sunday, February 17, 2013 at 2:29 pm

​Annotation 1:

Collins, Sarah, Karen Davis, Michelle Doty, Jennifer Kriss, and Alyssa Holmgren. "Gaps in Health Insurance: An All American Problem."
Commonwealth Fund. 16. n. page. Print. <http://www.commonwealthfund.org/Publications/Fund-Reports/2006/Apr/Gaps-in-Health-Insurance--An-All-American-Problem.asp&xgt;.

This article helps me because it talks about how people aren’t have health insurance because the cost of it is too much and that different class people are being affected by it, having low-income as those who are the ones with insurance. It include a chart that shows how many people who are insured and uninsured with different incomes. At the end it talks about how many people are having medical debts and bill problems because of the fact that they can’t pay for health care.

Annotation 2:

"Health Care." . N.p.. Web. 15 Feb 2013. <http://www.healthcare-now.org/wp-content/uploads/pdf/finalphilafactsheet2.pdf>.

This pdf  tell me about the amount of people who doesn’t have health care and how much it has went up over a certain amount of time. It also tells that the cost of healthcare is affecting many families and it ends with how the healthcare crisis can end.

Annotation 3:

"Health Care Statistics ." Health Care Problems.org. n. page. Web. 15 Feb. 2013. <http://www.healthcareproblems.org/health-care-statistics.htm>.

This website helps me because it gives facts about from other sources about health insurance and how much it went up. Also about where the money go to and health benefits. It also includes a graph for those who are uninsured. And it tells about how the insured and the uninsured are being affected by the cost of health insurance.

Annotation 4:

Jobbins, Cindy. "Report Finds Philadelphia’s Pension and Health Care Costs for Public Employees Growing at Unsupportable Rates." PEW Charitable Trusts . n. page. Web. 15 Feb. 2013. <http://www.pewtrusts.org/news_room_detail.aspx?id=34146>.

This websites tells me and goes into detail about how the amount of money the city pays for pension obligation and health care benefits are going to increase and how it has changed over time. At the end it gives fact about pensions and health care benefits. Then it goes to say some solutions that could be used.

Annotation 5:

John , Dodds. Telephone Interview. 13 Feb 2012.


This interview helps me because Mr. Dodds said that the reason health care (insurance) cost so much is because the companies in charge of health care make the prices so that they can pay for other things. The cost of health insurance and healthcare will go up every year and that it’s affecting those who have low income or don’t have a job. Kids are more insured than adults because there are a lot of affordable insurances out there for them. And the price of insurance would decrease if the government start paying for insurance for those who don’t have any.

Annotation 1:

Warner, Dave. "Philadelphia Homeless Feeding Ban Challenged By Charities." n. page. Web. 14 Feb. 2013. <http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/10/philadelphia-homeless-feeding-ban_n_1663058.html>.

This article on the huffington post is mainly about the law that mayor nutter tried to pass in order for homeless people to not be fed publically anymore. The reason this article is important to my topic is because it has a lot of helpful information about this law and why it was so problematic. Many churches in philadelphia feed the homeless often, and they will no longer be able to if this law is passed. Additionally this article states that on any given night there are approximately 6,000 homeless people sleeping outdoors in Philadelphia.

Annotation 2:
"Services." project home. N.p., n. d. Web. Web. 14 Feb. 2013. <http://www.projecthome.org/services/>.

This website is helpful because it introduces many of the resources that homeless people have, and which they don’t. This website also includes a description and different sections of how the shelters work and what the community is like there. Many of these shelters have programs for certain problems common among homeless people in philadelphia such as drug and alcohol problems.

Annotation 3:
BEELER, CAROLYN . "Laws That Target Homeless Imperil Programs That Feed Them Outdoors." (2012): n. page. Web. 14 Feb. 2013. <http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2012/07/30/156328035/philadelphia-bans-serving-food-to-the-homeless-in-public>.

This website also has to do with the attempted ban for feeding the homeless. The reason why this will help in my argument that homelessness is the biggest issue in philadelphia is because it has quotes that I can use from mayor Nutter about the issue, and why he wanted it passed. Unlike the other article i’m annotating for this topic, this article shows both sides of the argument, and also  gives more specific info about the churches that feed the homework and information about homeless men in philadelphia.

Annotation 4:
Yanoff, Shelly. "Havens and hope for homeless youth." n. page. Web. 14 Feb. 2013. <http://articles.philly.com/2012-11-18/news/35187591_1_homeless-youth-covenant-house-young-people>.


This article is lovely because it talks specifically about runaways and homeless teens in philadelphia and the support there is for them. In doing research on other places in the united states, Philadelphia not only has a higher rate of homeless teens, but they have less help for these teens. This article talks about the facilities that do help, and statistics that are helpful to my presentation.


Annotation 5:
"Facts on Homelessness."http://www.jefferson.edu/jeffhope/patientsvcs/HomelessnessFacts.cfm. N.p., n. d. Web. Web. 14 Feb. 2013. <http://www.jefferson.edu/jeffhope/patientsvcs/HomelessnessFacts.cfm>.

This link has all of the facts and statistics about homelessness I could have asked for. with this I have plenty of confirmed statistics that prove why homelessness is one of the biggest issues in philadelphia. This also talks about reasons why the homeless in philadelphia are homeless, and many other things such as ethnicity and age of those who are homeless. These statistics are great for my presentation.



Interview Annotation 6:

Residential Advisor at St. Johns Hospice, Front Desk, Rhonda . Telephone Interview. 14 Feb 2013.
Rhona was extremely helpful to me, and gave me a lot of important information for my project, as well as a personal and valid opinion. She told me the most common problems and causes for homelessness are “the economy, lack of work, cost of living going up, no affordable housing, and drug problems”. When I asked her about the law that Mayor Nutter was trying to pass about not feeding homeless people in public areas she said: “I didn’t agree with it, people that are homeless are hungry, don’t have no where to go, no where to sleep...if people want to be able to see them they should be able to see them”

Source 1: Religious Person:

My stakeholder decided to stay anonymous

 


  • Can we use your name to quote you or would you like to stay anonymous? If so what is your name?

  • Do you think the teens in philadelphia are safe?

  • Why is it that you have that opinion?

  • Do you think Mayor Nutter is doing a good job handling the safety of teenagers?

  • Can you name any events in Philadelphia that has threatened the safety of teenagers?

  • Do you like the curfew?

  • Do you think the curfew has helped?

  • Why do you think teenagers break the curfew?

  • What do you think the Leaders of Philadelphia have to do to make teenagers safe?


  1. stay anonymous.

  2. no

  3. too much free time

  4. the closing of schools, rec. centers, and no jobs.

  5. no

  6. no

  7. because it's a law, teens need adventure

  8. go back to # 4

This is what he emailed me the first time, however when I asked him to be more thorough on what he meant, he sent me this letter:

        Ms. Lee;

  I got my numbers wrong.To explain better,the questions you asked were based on the safety of teens and the city leaders actions toward their being.

  Safety is not only for teens but all the people should be the concept of your study because you cannot study one without the other. For example, let's talk about affordable housing and jobs. If one's parents work, they can live in a home and raise a family in a environment that can be considered a good area.

  With that in mind, everything will fall in place, as to the safety of the teens and everyone else. People care about themselves when they feel good, look good and got money. But,when things take a 180 degree turn, it's bad for everyone. Such as to the city's budget and the proposed cuts of jobs, schools, rec. centers, libraries and etc. to save money. Who will suffer.

  Actions like that will cause danger in the city because of the mental and physical state  people are in there is " No Money". Nothing and nobody is safe.


                   You see " everything is everything".


                                                                        Hope I helped



I decided to interview a religious person for my stakeholder, because I felt as though they would have a lot to say about the community that the church is in. This interview is influential because him spoke about not only the teenagers but the parents. You could really tell that he cared because he also wrote a letter that would help explain where he was coming from. I also think it’s important because people of the church works with the community to try and make it better. They go around the community trying to help people and make sure teens are on the right path. This is a reliable source because because it comes from a person who’s involved in the community.



Source 2: Article: Officials in Phila. Plan Curfews to Curb Teenage Violence

http://www.npr.org/2011/08/11/139507252/officials-in-phila-plan-curfews-to-curb-teen-violence

In this article it talked about how Mayor Nutter planned on setting the curfew time to 9pm on Fridays and Saturdays because he thinks it’ll prevent teenagers from being able to mob up on people. In the article it also talked about how Mayor Nutter planned on punishing not only the mob participates but their parents also. It states that the parent will be punished also if the teenager is picked up. The first time will be a warning, but the second time they will have to pay a $500 file. It also states that police patrols will also be increased to help prevent the mobs from happening. This is an influential article because Mayor Nutter speaks on the actions and shows that he isn’t playing around, that he means business.


Source 3: Organization Website: Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention

http://www.ojjdp.gov/mpg/Philadelphia%20Youth%20Violence%20Reduction-MPGProgramDetail-603.aspx

This is a website about a organization called Philadelphia Youth Violence Reduction Program  (PYVP) which is a multi- agency that involved with many youth organizations and criminal justice agencies, that work together to help reduce the homicide rate of teenagers and put youth offenders on a positive path. The organization cooperated with the 24th/25th Police District to collect data about the homicide rate. In the data they collected it showed that since the opening of PYVP homicides rates are significantly lower. The organization is involves more than 10 public and private organizations with consist of 50 police officers, probation officers, and street workers. They go out to the houses of participants about 25 times a month to check in with them and make sure they are on the right track. I think this is a good website because can go to it to learn more about the program and how to get their children involved in it. If more police district get involved with the program it means that they’ll be able to prevent flash mobs from happening.


Source 4: Article: 9 Shot at Teen Party in Suburban Philadelphia

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/04/09/shot-teen-party-suburban-philly-1-dead/

In this article it talks about a shooting that took place at a teenage party in Chester, PA. In the shooting there were 9 teenagers shot and 2 dead, they were attending a party in a social hall that had been rented out for them when the shooting took place. Mayor Wendell Butler was disheartened at the scene as he told the Associated Press, he was also surprised to find 13- year olds from Philadelphia at the party. When he asked them how did they find out about the party, they told him, “It was on Facebook.” Since then Mayor Butler had declared a state of emergency and set the curfew time to 9 pm. Butler pilot a project to install new surveillance cameras in the areas of high rate crimes. I think that this in an influential article because it talks about how the Mayor of the Chester Pa. planned on being stricter with the kids by having surveillance cameras where teenagers hang out, with will allow them to see the activity that occurs.


Source 5: Nutter Fumes After 3 Philadelphia Teens Killed in Apparent Reprisal Shooting

http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2012/01/12/nutter-fumes-after-3-philadelphia-teens-killed-in-apparent-reprisal-shooting/

In this article Mayor Nutter spoke on a shooting that took place on a Tuesday night, he called the shooter a “dog.” The Mayor also told the parents of of the youth that they must teach them to “not to act like idiots and a-holes”, he was very furious in the article and it showed. Which is why I think this is a good source because it shows the reader that he actually cares. He also speaks about what the adult needs to do in order to control their kids. This is a credible source because it comes from a reliable news source, which is CBS Philly.

Herr, Susan. “Google Finds Rich Don’t Help Give to Poor” 10 Oct, 2007. 13 Feb 2013


There were two points found from a study on Patterns of /Household Charitable Giving. It was discovered that less than a third of  American’s donations given to charities actually help and benefit those in poverty. Also wealthier families are less likely to give back and help the needy. Those who make $200.000 - $1 million give back about. 29%, those who make $1 million and up give back about 22% and those who make less than $200,000 give back about 36%.

Fall 2012, 13 Feb, 2013.

One area described as the badlands, an area of poverty, has 42% of the students reading at a level that is lower material. Early teenagers read books like Dr. Seuss when they should be reading something more challenging. To find the answer why is this? They turned to an earlier child, pre-schoolers.

Philadelhpia. School District of Philadelphia. School District of Philadelphia. Print. <http://www.phila.k12.pa.us/>.
This is the school district of Philadephia’s website.  On the website, if you search “science” you will find out about how many amazing science based schools are located in Philadelphia, but they completely fail to mention any data about their graduation rates or their graduates success rate in the descriptions.

"Obama: 'We Don't Have Enough Engineers'" Computerworld. N.p., n.d. Web. 14 Feb. 2013.
This is an article that talks about how Obama recognizes the need for more American engineers.  He isn’t even focusing on engineers with an especially high degree, just a bachelors degree.  This article points out  how just a few changes would increase the number of American engineers by a large percentile, but he fails to mention how the American youth might be left behind by poor high school education.

Gearon, Christopher J. "You're an Engineer? You're Hired." US News. U.S.News & World Report, 22 Mar. 2012. Web. 14 Feb. 2013. <http://www.usnews.com/education/best-graduate-schools/articles/2012/03/22/youre-an-engineer-youre-hired>.
This article talks about the need for electrical engineers and other highly skilled working engineers.  It touches on the fact that finding a job as an engineer is extremely easy to accomplish because of the fact that America simply doesn’t have enough of them.

Lehman, Chris. Personal Interview. 14 2 13.
Mr. Lehman discussed how science learning in Philadelphia was good in some areas, but lacked in others.  He talked about the fact that some schools were very successful, but some weren’t.  He also discussed his lack of faith in standardized science tests and their effectiveness.

​Shah, Anup. "Causes Of Poverty." , 07 Jan. 2013. Web. 13 Feb. 2013.

This source explains the background and reasons for why many people are in poverty. This source shows statistics of children living in poverty, and how many is being spent on useless things other than things that are badly needed. This makes a broad understanding to why many people are in poverty due to bad decision making. People have different opinions and thoughts to why people are in poverty but everyone has a different reason for that, therefore no one really knows the reason why poverty was led in this way.

http://www.globalissues.org/issue/2/causes-of-poverty

. "Income, Poverty and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2010." , 13 Sep 2011. Web. 14 Feb. 2013.

The Census Bureau stated the amount of people in poverty by race and origin, and the difference between between 2009 and 2010. This may show how people were wealthy and over a year end up in poverty. The reason why this issue may have become this way may be because of different reasons, mainly because of decisions. The main influence on this problem and it's future would be to help these people in poverty to get back on their feet and make the right choices that aren't going to lead them back into poverty, but to have a better outcome for their lives.

http://www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/income_wealth/cb11-157.html

Gamble, I. "World Neighbors Finds Solutions to the Root Causes of Poverty." , Web. 14 Feb 2013.

This source explains what poverty is, and how poverty affects people and their daily lives. People who are living in poverty can't afford food which makes them lack from nutrition in their system. The reason why this source helps out the reasons of poverty is because it explains thoroughly what people go through when in poverty and how they can't make decisions that others have opportunities of, they have to live and sacrifice with what they have. People in working neighbors work to find solutions to help improve the causes of the people in poverty.

Holmes, Jamie. "Why Can’t More Poor People Escape Poverty?." , 06 Jun 2011. Web. 13 Feb 2013.

This source explains how poverty is described to be a decision making control of people. People have a hard time deciding what choices that they'd rather choose which leads them in the wrong paths leaving most of them in poverty if they have no support. Statistics and evidence prove that poverty makes it even harder for people to escape it. Many people in poverty have a hard time dealing with money, making wrong decisions because they don't have the same wealth as others do.

http://www.newrepublic.com/article/environment-energy/89377/poverty-escape-psychology-self-control#


Cartagena, Amanda. "Interviewed Chelsea Dawn." , 13 Feb 2013. Web. 13 Feb 2013.

I interviewed Mrs. Dawn from the W.I.C office over the phone and I asked her questions about people in poverty. The main question I had for her was "Why do you think people in poverty have a hard time making decisions?", she replied "People in poverty have a hard time making decisions because they don't exactly know what they want, almost as if they don't set goals out for themselves which is why they have a hard time leaving poverty." As she explained thoroughly it helped me have a better understanding to why so many people are in poverty because of decisions that they make.

amerritt@bizjournals.com, . "SEPTA plots to stem crime." (2008): n. page. Print. <http://www.bizjournals.com/philadelphia/stories/2008/05/05/story2.html?page=all>.

This is a journal article and I think its a good source because it tells us what SEPTA plans to do to keep a hold on the crimes. It also gives statistics about the crimes that have been committed compared to how many were committed in 2004. It doesn’t just say SEPTA is trying to fix all the problems. It tells the reader every single thing they are going to try to do in order for passengers to feel safe.


Graphic Video of Sixers Fan Shooting Bulls Fan on SEPTA El. 2012. Video. NBC10Web. 14 Feb 2013. <http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/Video-SEPTA-Shooting-Sixers-Bulls-Fans-183408621.html>.

This video will be helpful because it shows the whole attack. Even though it may be hard for people to watch it shows how well the surveillance cameras work, and also how clear they are. The surveillance cameras definitely helped the boys get caught. This can tie into the future of the problem because if SEPTA were to put more surveillance cameras everywhere maybe the crime rate would go down.  

Nussbaum, Paul. "SEPTA attacker has record of transit terror." Philly.com. N.p., 19 January 2013. Web. 14 Feb 2013. <http://articles.philly.com/2013-01-19/news/36417700_1_septa-police-surveillance-cameras-subway-line>.

This article is about the man who recently threw a woman in the railroad tracks. He was also arrested and his bail was set at 2 million dollars. However, as I continued reading it mentioned that he has a record of robbing women and flashing a gun. The article also says that he was arrested in 1996 and was sentenced to 7 ½ - 15 years. You would think someone would learn their lesson but he came out and did the same thing again. I want to use this for future because in this case it seems he did not learn his lesson nor did he care that he spent that long in jail.

Roman, Alex. "SEPTA delves into drivers’ past to improve customer service." Metro. N.p., n.d. Web. 14 Feb 2013. <http://www.metro-magazine.com/article/story/2012/01/septa-delves-into-drivers-past-to-improve-customer-service.asp&xgt;.

This article is useful because this mentions how the SEPTA drivers have a lot to deal with and how much the violence has gone up from 2010 to 2011. It also mentions how the drivers are all taking a new training method to help protect themselves and the people on the bus. That part of the article has to do with the future of this issue because its how they’re improving and also the current issue, because this is what we’re dealing with.

Hur, Elizabeth. "SEPTA Officials Install Surveillance Video To Crack Down On Injury Frauds." CBS Philly. N.p., 13 Oct 2011. Web. 14 Feb 2013. <http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2011/10/13/septa-officials-install-surveillance-video-to-crack-down-on-injury-frauds/>.
Even though this article doesn’t mention anything about violence I still think that it can be useful. I think this article will be useful because it talks about SEPTA installing more surveillance cameras on the buses to stop the injury frauds. However, I think what people don’t realize is that by them installing more cameras maybe people will stop and think about committing a crime. It also says all the different places the cameras are going to get installed.

Jones, Officer. Interview by Drue Boccuti. 12 Feb 2013. Feb . Print.

I spoke to Officer Jones who works in the non-emergency SEPTA department. He told me a lot of ways SEPTA is trying to improve and get all the protection they can. He also told me why he thinks it got this way and he shared some facts about SEPTA that I had no idea about.
