Question

when a teacher asked a class of grade 4 and 5 students in north bay, ontario, what poverty meant to them, some of the childrens answers were:
ot having a tv at home, like my friend, mya\, \when my mom uses candles to warm up when we have no heat\, \when we run out of food and need to use the food bank\ what are these experiences examples of? relative poverty absolute poverty unstable poverty cultural poverty

Explanation:

Relative poverty is measured in relation to the economic status of others in a society. The examples given (not having a TV compared to a friend, using candles for heat, relying on a food bank) are based on comparisons within the local context (like the student's friend having a TV). Absolute poverty is a more extreme lack of basic necessities (like not having enough to eat to survive, which isn't fully indicated here as the food bank is a resource). Unstable poverty refers to fluctuations in poverty status over time (not shown here). Cultural poverty is a discredited concept that wrongly blames culture for poverty.

Answer:

Relative poverty
