Also, bad habits or laziness as well as lack of cooperation and cohesiveness in the community could attribute to poverty.

material and better analyze the point that Boccaccio wanted to get across. He wanted to provide a forum into the study of culture during his time.
As a society, we have learned to deem different types of behavior either acceptable or unacceptable.
