The U.S. economy has suffered significant job loss, especially among lower-income and middle-income workers. Globalization puts increased pressure on natural resources around the world, and it creates a greater amount of environmental damage. Economic growth has resulted in the depletion of tropical rainforests, ocean fisheries, and mineral and fuel reserves. Globalization has increased the flow of trade and investment to countries that often abuse human rights — places where worker abuse is common and where attempts to speak out
Entire populations of people are displaced, the strong community support system relied upon heavily by the urban residents is removed, and the infrastructure that the poorer residents rely on for their specific needs is taken away. An ethical issue is a problem, situation, or opportunity that requires an individual or group of individuals to choose among actions.

Aside from attempting to compensate for their financial shortcomings, there are many other reasons people may resort to crime.

Crime in poor neighborhoods is often perpetuated by the neighborhood itself.
However, the degree that industrialization affected people varied in rather contrasting ways, with the destitute becoming poorer and the wealthy becoming even more affected, creating two different spheres within society that were difficult to converge despite the various efforts attempted. While industrialization led to a growth in population of major cities, the social aspects of society resulted in degradation amongst the laborers, which constituted a majority of the population. Dramatic growth meant that living spaces were scarce, with several people living in one room of the various tenements. Those that could not afford to pay rent slept outside on the streets (Document F). The high population density created squalid living conditions that were ideal places for diseases that resulted in illnesses and death.

Because this is a race-centered issue that affects certain economic demographics more than others, racism, ethnocentrisms, and classism become an important part of the issue. According to Ken Barger, “ethnocentrism can be defined as: making false assumptions about others' ways based on our own limited experience” (2004). People assume that black families choose to live in poor neighborhoods because they are uneducated and lazy. When in actuality they are doing the best they can for their families, but it comes at a price. Classim comes into play when we are talking about the “class” being affect by the poisoning.
Changes in family structure have increased the level of poverty in America. For instance, families that are headed by single women in America have increased by a double number (Malanga, 2007).
