Poverty cycle continues for generations

The three universal classifications of population social status (low, middle, high) have been fundamental to interpreting the underlying hierarchal aspect of our own American modified caste system.

In America – where productivity determines so much of personal value – falling under the poverty line is nothing to be proud of, yet disadvantages that work to make it impossible for individuals to break out of a poverty cycle seem to be passed down from generation to generation.

I have seen drug dealers teaching their kids how to run the family business, women with children at keg parties and pay check-to-pay check mentalities from all my friends. It is like nobody has the enthusiasm to change the outcome of our future generations.

It usually goes like this – communities that have a heavy population of illegally-inclined individuals indirectly fabricate generational recurrences of similar illegal activity.

This is mostly due to the underlying nature of influence within a society. Young people are most vulnerable to idolizing poor ideals with full justification based on temporary satisfaction and lack of self-restraint.

Self-restraint is the most influential sacrifice in religion and America is far from a traditional Hindu caste system. Though America has related recipients within the same class level, they are both aimed at two extremely different groups of people.

Willingly continuing the cycle of things such as poverty and crime within caste a system is what makes Americans one of the most ignorant populations of educated people.

With exceptions to predictable cases are the people who are expected to fail in developing the standards of behavior our society accepts due to race or economic status.
