The culture of poverty

thesis: Oscar Lewis' article is a description of the "Culture of Poverty"

Lewis tries to explain the different aspects of poverty he tells us that poverty is seen as evil and good. lewis also tells us that poverty is passed down from generation to generation, mostly because people who belong to the poverty class are illiterate, have a low level of education and have trust issues.

i believe that judith goode that is correct on going against Lewis , she has evidence that majority of the people that claim welfare and housing are not in need to extra help.
