Even though some people think this problem can easily be solved. It's a terrible thing our country faces each year. Because Peer pressure is a problem many young kids face. The impact of drugs in the communities and poverty and how it changes lives. There are numerous elements that play a hand in the increased number of violent acts. I had to say poverty is the worst of them all.
There are multiple factors that play in the crime wave we see. I feel a major problem that contributes to the problem is poverty. For year’s people though that poverty just caused because of the stereotypic mindset that this is America and anything is possible here. But that’s not the case for others (Cause and Effects p.2).

New Orleans, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York just to name a few. People are talking about the Black Ghettos. Poverty rates in the African American community are one of the highest of the ethnic groups. Percentage wise 27% of the fifty-four million people live in poverty. It’s a sad reality for my brothers and sisters are dealing with. Another group who is rising in population number is the Hispanics. Over the past three decades or so growth has increased with the migration to the United States. With that growth comes poverty because everyone isn’t facing the same struggles as each other. 26.6 % of the fifty-five million Hispanics live in poverty. Of the four ethnic group the Asians make a very small population. 12% of Asian people live poverty. But I strongly think that is due to the work ethics and how important educate is to them. Just look at the top ten countries in education. You got Asian countries and European makeup majority of them. Caucasian is the largest group in America. So it’s just common sense that it’s going to be more living in poverty than any other race. With the number of companies leaving the United States to move its operation overseas to pay the people ten cents on a dollar is just sad to me. All these multi-billion not million billion corporations don’t want to pay the minimum ($7.25) working a nine to five job.

How to be successful in life? That puzzled me because I don’t know the answer to the answer. I responded, “I have no clue, Mrs. Davis.” She looked at me crazy for about three long seconds and said, “As a black man you how can you be successful in life. One you get your high school diploma. Even if you don’t go to college you got that piece of paper saying you completed school. Two was having both parents in your life. Mom and dad living under the roof and not co-parenting the child. Statistically speaking child rested in a two parents household chances are greater to be a successful person in life than a single household home. Was mom most likely is the head working multiple jobs to provide for her children? Three was opinion to me because I knew some kids who were the atheist and still lived a good life. But she said having a spiritual connection with your Lord and Savior gets you morality. You knowing right from wrong. Fourth and last was kids should be resting kids! It’s just common sense if you can’t even rest yourself and mommy and daddy does everything for you, kids, not a good idea. I do feel bad for some young men. Who are condemned by the public as the deadbeat parent for not taking care of their kids? Forced to sell their soul
