[QUOTE="faulkton, post: 2901279, member: 561910"] Because of the conditions of poverty, the poor are presented with unique problems in living (compared with the non-poor). In order to cope with these problems , the poor live a unique lifestyle. Through collective interaction and in the face of relative isolation from the non-poor, this unique lifestyle becomes a common characteristic of the poor, producing common values, attitude, and behavior. A commno culture, or more accurately a subculture, is developed. Once this common subculture of poverty has become, in a sense institutionalized, it is self perpetuating. In other words, it becomes relatively independent of the social conditions of poverty that helped produce the subculture. The values, attitude, and behavior, that are a part of this subculture are passed on to the children of the poor -- that is [I] the children are socialized into this subculture of poverty[/I]. Because this subculture shapes the basic character and personality of people raised in poverty, even if opportunities to become non-poor arise, the poor will retain the traits that they used to cope with poverty and will have great difficulty taking advantage of opportunities to become non-poor. Thus the only real solution to the problem of poverty is to kill the poor. [/QUOTE]
