Poverty Effects on People

After reading parts of Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment, I came to realize that poverty is a major part to a person’s development. With the economy being so bad today, poverty has taken a toll; it affected hundreds of millions of people throughout the world.

Let say a person has been born into the lower working class family. He/she will then have to work twice as hard as anyone else just to get by. They would have to eat from hand to mouth, with little to no savings. But, in my theory, a person who has experience poverty, if desired, and work hard enough, will make it big someday. A person who had experience a life of stricken poverty will learn to cherish what they have and work for a bigger and higher goals. They know what it is like to be poor and will not take anything for granted.

That is to say that that person have “luck” on their side. If a chance wasn't offer or given to them, than you might ask, “What’s the point in trying”? To make it big you have to be given a chance. It isn't easy to go from a lower working class family to a middle class or even an upper class. You first have to be given a chance and make it happen afterward. And when I say to make it “big, “big” is in the eye of the beholder.
