Answer to Question #240369 in Sociology for Nanno

Question

Recognizing the influences that shape us can help us figure out how to change our situation, including Increasing the equality or freedom of our society. But, even if we understand what effect our actions and attitudes, does this give us the ability to change them? Is it even possible for us to ever be truly free?

Answer 1

When society realizes the factors that make marginalized groups of people including the poor remain in their poor living conditions, will help them work harder to change their situation for the better ones. However, ensuring those at risk of poverty and social exclusion obtain the opportunity and necessary resources such as education to participate fully in community social-political, economic and cultural life will help them improve their living standards by eliminating social rules and norms that negatively affect their lives and therefore enjoy their fundamental rights and freedoms.
