The Style of Culture and its Misconceptions
When talking about Culture, Structural Poverty, and Cultural Change you may ask yourself if I am attributing intentionality to the way we see the problem that’s growing in today’s society. First, I am going to briefly examine the arguments behind the cause of all three topics. So the outcome isn’t weather I agree or disagree it’s about the interpretation and understanding of the problems but how I can best show the relationships of these topics and truly understand that poverty may be the underlining cause of why there is still failure in our society.
