A friend says to you “People are poor because they’re just lazy, get a job”. As a sociology student, how would you respond to this friend

DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A SOCIOLOGY STUDENT

Regardless of how hard people work, they simply cannot get to the top because of how the economical and social system is setup. Small businesses do not get enough funding or support from the community and majority of them actually end up failing immediately after they start. Also, minimum wage is extremely low and it is extremely hard to provide for a family with that much money. There are also people in higher pay jobs attempting to pay off student debts (because they went to college) while also surviving and living and accomplishing things they dreamed of when they were in college.

ngl tho if i was a real sociology student i'd pull up a chart bc, yes, those are the kind of stuff i have saved on my computer lol

The fight against corruption begins in the state apparatus.

Explanation:

The fight against corruption is an effort to create a fairer society and prevent the economy from collapsing. Corruption is an attack on democracy, freedom, human rights, and state institutions. The struggle primarily begins in the state apparatus. Seminars, lectures, and education of civil servants in this field are important because it is in these fields that corrupt practices most often occur. The fight against corruption is possible and necessary to involve in the education system. Students should be introduced to the harmful factors of corruption in society. Governments are also setting up anti-corruption courts to fight corruption. Laws are also an anti-corruption mechanism, providing severe penalties for such actions. Finally, raising general awareness in society about corruption's negative effects is a very good approach to combating this undesirable social phenomenon.
