What causes poverty? Research on poverty can be clustered into four major areas. • Behaviors of the Individual • Human and Social Capital in the Community • Exploitation • Political/Economic Structures
Time • POVERTY • Present most important • Decisions made for the moment based on feelings or survival • MIDDLE CLASS • Future most important • Decisions made against future ramifications • WEALTH • Traditions and past history most important • Decisions made partially on basis of tradition/decorum
Possessions POVERTY People MIDDLE CLASS Things WEALTH One-of-a-kind objects, legacies, pedigrees
To survive in poverty, one must rely upon nonverbal, sensory, and reactive skills. To survive in school or at work, one must use verbal, abstract, and proactive skills.

Registers of Language Adapted from Martin Joos
Poverty is a concrete, sensory, reactive world. • School is verbal, abstract representational, and proactive. • Without language, one lacks the tools necessary to negotiate and manipulate his/her position in the world.
If an individual depends upon a random episodic story structure for memory patterns, lives in an unpredictable environment, and HAS NOT DEVELOPED THE ABILITY TO PLAN, then ... If an individual cannot plan, he/sheCANNOT PREDICT. If an individual cannot predict, he/she CANNOT IDENTIFY CAUSE AND EFFECT. If an individual cannot identify cause and effect, he/sheCANNOT IDENTIFY CONSEQUENCE. If an individual cannot identify consequence,he/sheCANNOT CONTROL IMPULSIVITY. If an individual cannot control impulsivity, he/she HAS AN INCLINATION TOWARD CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR.
