Sociologists explain poverty in a number of different ways. Some sociological explanations of poverty say that the problem is with the attitudes and values of the poor, while other explanations say that the problem is with society and the economy. One explanation of poverty is the culture of poverty, which refers to the attitudes and values that people in poverty have.

They also live for the moment (present gratification).

As with many of the other theories based on the health and well-being of a society, the notion of social cohesion has a circular nature that when functioning properly multiplies the positive effects and, inversely, when functioning incorrectly it compounds the negative. Putnam(2000) posits that “Frequent interaction
As John Verdant introduces two families with similar economic conditions but completely different values, it is not difficult to find out that the family believes having more actually harms themselves (Verdant, 152-155).
