Social exclusion causes individuals to become disadvantaged; this is not just within the economy but through other extents such as
The concept of social exclusion is complex. It is understood as a multidimensional and dynamic process.

Jonathan Kozol's Amazing Grace is a book that describes the everyday horrors and struggles for survival, for a group of elementary girls and boys who are growing up in the South Bronx, the poorest congressional district in the United States.
