There are also others like Poor people with and poor mindset that even though you helped them get out of the pit of poverty in their lives, and even gave them a job, in the end, they still return to the mindset of a poor people. These are the lazy people who always want someone to give them help such as giving them money or relief goods.
The second is access to financial information/education, access to quality books, and again environmental factors that are less supportive for learning (perhaps economic factors, mindset about education, study habits/practical thinking.
There are a lot of factors that would, in my opinion greatly influence a persons mindset and environmental factors is a teeny tiny percentage. Your environment has a way out influencing your behaviors until they become habits. I think someone could also not be influenced by the environment in which he/she resides. Someone could not let the world around him influence and get to him.
While I think environmental and societal issues could greatly impact on someone’s mindset, I also think it’s not a cause for people to remain poor
