Socioeconomic Culture in the United States
Wealth is a culture. Being middle class is a culture. Poverty is a culture. Poverty is a vastly different culture than that of the wealthy & middle class. In order to reduce poverty, one has to understand the culture of the poor. It is the culture of the poor which retains them in poverty. Oftentimes, the culture of poverty is opposite of the cultures of the wealthy & middle class. The wealthy & middle class are proactive regarding their life strategies while the poor are quite passive regarding their life strategies. They readily accept things which the wealthy & middle class won't. The poor also indulge in mindless, toxic instant gratification. They aren't concerned about future outcomes. Beside being socioeconomic, poverty is also sociocultural. Your thoughts?
