¶ … video was the working poor and food insecurity and how this group is being excluded from access to the food they need to live healthy lives.
Explain which conceptual framework applies to the major issue you selected.
Food insecurity tends to exclude some demographic group from the same level that exists for other groups which can be conceptualized as existing along a continuum ranging from transitory insecurity to chronic food insecurity (Concepts of food security, 2016). This continuum is comprised of four main dimensions as follows: (a) physical availability of food; (b) economic and physical access to food; (c) food utilization; and (d) stability of these dimensions over time (Concepts of food security, 2016). Therefore, the issue of the working poor and food insecurity can be evaluated in terms of these four dimensions and how they operate to exclude the working poor from these four dimensions compared to mainstream society. For example, Wurwarg (2014) reports that in the United States, "Many people in low-income neighborhoods have less money and less time to spend searching for and preparing...
76). This constraint is further exacerbated by the long hours that are frequently involved in the jobs held by the working poor (Wurwarg, 2014).
Explain one leadership style that corresponds to the framework(s).
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) reports that reducing food insecurity cannot be achieved by addressing the economic aspects alone but rather requires a multifaceted strategy that includes strategies for income growth as well direct nutrition interventions and increased investments in educational initiatives to improve food utilization practices (Concepts of food security, 2016). In this regard, the FAO emphasizes that, "Simply put, all hungry people are food insecure, but not all food insecure people are hungry, as there are other causes of food insecurity, including those due to poor intake of micro-nutrients" (Concepts of food security, 2016, p. 3). One leadership style that closely corresponds to this conceptual framework is the transformational leadership style described by Patti (2009) which has proven efficacy in effecting meaningful change in complex situations. Applying a transformational leadership style to the issue of the working poor and food insecurity is also consistent with Salamon's (2015) observation that the nonprofit sector has become more professionalized since the 1960s by implementing proven leadership strategies as well as Gill and Mathur's (2011) findings that transformational leadership can help empower the working poor.

A boss who preaches burning the midnight oil but goes home at 5pm, leaving everyone else to labor long hours on a hectic Friday night, will garner little respect. Employees are just as mindful of what their boss is doing as he or she is of what employees are doing. It is essential to 'walk the walk' as well as 'talk the talk.' Showing care and concern cannot be underestimated,
Leadership Style Application The leadership style adopted by different companies and how these companies motivate their employees should be that which can work in multicultural context.

As a result, economic development was redefined in terms of reduction or elimination of poverty, inequality, and unemployment within the perspective of a growing economy (Mamede & Davidsson, 2003). Research indicates that entreprenuership can be both the cause and effect of economic development in the sense of wealth distribution. Countries in which wealth is concentrated in the hands of a small fraction of the population face greater difficulties in coordinating
