How are education and employment tied together

Reference no: EM133241499

Case: "J.T. once asked me what sociologists had to say about gangs and inner-city poverty. I told him that some sociologists believed in a "culture of poverty"-that is, poor blacks didn't work because they didn't value employment as highly as other ethnic groups did, and they transmitted this attitude across generations," (Venkatesh, 2008, p. 28).

Question 1: Address the quote above from Gang Leader-do you agree or disagree with this notion of a "culture of poverty?" Why or why not?

Question 2: Regardless of your specific view of the quote, what factors ("pushes" and "pulls") contribute to high poverty levels in the inner-city? What can communities do to combat those factors? What can individuals do?

Question 3: How are education and employment tied together (be specific)?
