What is the problem sociologically with claiming poverty is a “state of mind” that can be overcome with hard work? How do sociologists address poverty as a social problem?
Please provide the best answer for the statement
1. The sociological mindset emphasizes grounding assertions in unbiased, representative
samples of evidence. Citing evidence of any particular individual overcoming an
obstacle does not qualify as unbiased, and it is not generalizable to the entire
population.
2. Sociologists are likely to assert that structural changes—to politics and the
economy—are central to changing economic and employment opportunities, as well
as macro-level changes in cultural values and expectations.
