If poor people???Successful??

Question

If poor people had opportunities do you think they would be more successful?

Answer 1

poor people have opportunities, but don't see them because, they are not taught to see them!

Answer 2

Possibly one of the most complicated questions I've seen here. Poverty involves not only no funds, but also a poverty of mind, often it also involves life habits and a lifestyle that not only supports the poverty but also pervades the thinking that does not allow a poor person to see opportunity. There is also a certain culture that emerges from being poor that can be debilitating and blinding. There are dissertations and a huge library of published literature/research on this very question-- and yet there is no clear answer.

Keep in mind that there are both systemic/structural barriers to success, cultural factors within one's community that limit opportunity and one's self psychology. There is also a poverty consciousness involved-- altogether these things converge to keep the poor poor. Finally, there is often much mental illness that emerges as a result of poverty (or many mentally ill people who end in poverty b/c they can't hold jobs) since poverty can exacerbate a predisposition to a mental health issue.

Excellent question by the way!
