It forces people to conform to a certain way of life, and it often changes their perceptions for the worse. The drive to possess great amounts of money has survived throughout the centuries, only to become even more disastrous in contemporary culture. There appears to be no end to what people will do to acquire a lot of money, often sacrificing their families, their health and their morality. How can something that fits in the palm of one’s hand evoke such cultural tension and strife? To be sure, the more money one possesses in most cultures equates to a better life, inasmuch as it allows people to rise out of poverty. What are the major causes of poverty in today's society? How is this related to racism, if at all? When considering such concepts as poverty, welfare, racism, social fact, social structure, social stratification, social inequality, functional theory and conflict theory, one gains a significantly better perspective of how greed and lack of social conscience reflect poverty's primary causes. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
