Maybe they don't know how to!!!tek-monkey said:Maybe they haven't tried to raise their own level?Lunar Scorpion said:Maybe because no one has tried to bring them up to their level?
There is a theory called 'Learned Helplessness', funnily enough it is based on an experiment with non-human animals. I suggest you read into it.tek-monkey said:Again, you're making them out as victims. Why don't they teach themselves, learn from the situation they are in and notice what the people who have left did to better themselves. Many animals are capable of learning from the actions of others, right down to the common stickleback.Lunar Scorpion said:Teach them to have regard for others (try having regard for them for a start - people usually act on how you approach them) then you might find that these problems start disappearing.
Aren't you given money to sustain yourself in the form of wages? Would you like to tell me where all your money goes? No?tek-monkey said:It is other peoples business when they are given money to sustain themselvesLunar Scorpion said:I'm not sure what you are referring to here, but it's no one's business how they spend their money unless it is affecting someone else in a negative way. Again, I recommend some kind of educational solution (or rehab?) - it's no good criticising people if you don't try to show them a better way of doing things (that they agree to - people don't generally respond to being told what to do, even if it is "for their own good!").
Maybe they're used to having nothing, and act as such - especially when compared to images that we are constantly being bombarded with through the media and society in general (peer pressure and keeping up with the Jones' attitudes). I agree, it is poor money management - but if they don't have a good idea of what the priorities should be or what is important to start with, then what hope have they got?tek-monkey said:Its poor money management, yet those with the least would surely grow up being the most careful with what they have.
