Hardship surely has an influence on mentallity.

When we talk of economic hardship, people relate it mostly with its effect on the accounts and pockets of persons, but hardship does more than that, it does a lot of damage to the mentality of victims of economic hardship.

You know what they say, life & circumstances either break you or make you stronger. With that said, we all have our own battles to fight... day by day. And it's hard to talk about it in general... not all fights are visible, not everyone handles pressure the same way... life tests all of us.

I guess we can say it's an important thing to keep moving forward... and sometimes just surviving another day is already a victory.

It depends on who is the one to be chosen as their leader, some could be really having a good intention but not given an opportunity. I guess most of the African nations are democracies so people still got the power to pick their leader and hope they learn their lesson and vote for a change.

It's quite problematic to vote for change in a country where a brutal dictatorship has been established, and power has been usurped for years by crazy old men who will never relinquish it until they are kicked out of their comfortable seats, feet first.

If everything were that simple, the world would change beyond recognition. More rights and freedoms, strictly observed and not questioned. Every person is an individual whose opinion is respected.

In life, requesting or wishing to have one thing and when it finally comes it leads to asking another and life continues, this is how humans are wired which is being unsatisfied and in a general settings all fingers can never be equal no matter the level of struggling and all of that if it were to easy since the existence of man things would have been equal in various kind of ways maybe the fight against hardship would have been here any more, life has it's ups and downs and every has their own shares of battle they are facing just as you said and one thing for is that we keep pushing and not giving up regardless of the circumstances we found ourselvesm.

I guess we can say it's an important thing to keep moving forward... and sometimes just surviving another day is already a victory.

Essentially, we need to realize how important it is not to lose hope. we must maintain a clear goal that will keepp us motivated to keep moving forward, even though the steps we take will certainly not be easy at all.
and while everyone does have their own problems and their own challenges to face, everyone also has their own way of dealing with them. But one thing is clear, every time we successfully face and resolve a problem, we become stronger. Whether we realize it or not, our mental resilience grows. And this holds true when we’re dealing with our own personal financial issues as well.

Not just about mentality, but it changes everything—the way you do things and also the way you relate to people. Economic hardship can even make one look down on oneself by giving up, thinking you can't be elevated beyond your current state because it makes one feel there are no opportunities out there, no matter how hardworking one can be. In economic hardship, one just needs to be positive because this can even drive you farther than you ever thought you could go.

In real life, there is no end from having economic hardships. One has been solved, now the new one has arise. So its a never ending life's challenge. If you take it too seriously, without the presence of your support system, that's mostly the time where depression and anxiety attack. And the more you let your hardship affect you, the more you get weak, lost control, and the more you lost your direction in life.

Stay calm instead and always focus on positivity. Economic hardship is never easy, but that does not mean that you won't find solution from it and move forward.  Of course, you can, but you have to be positive and open-minded.

You are right hardship has an influence on ones mentality, when you are suffering and you are so hungry you won't think about any other thing apart from getting food to eat this is the reason why a lot of countries in Africa are suffering because the citizens are facing hardship and the citizens don't think about what the government is doing all to find a way to stop the government all what they think about is how to eat and survive and this is the reason why the government in some countries in Africa are doing the way they like because they know how to get the citizens which is by giving them little food and then behave the way they wish and suffer the citizens more, when you are facing hardship your mentality will focus in some certain way it is only few people that hardship cannot influence their mentality.

Hardship has caused a lot of damage on people's mentality. When hardship hits a person, it can make you take a reckless decisions that can forever hut you for life. Because of hardship the up coming generations now, has decided to risk their lives by selling drugs, kidnapping, arm robbery, selling of human parts and involving on prostitution in order for them to earn a living or just to meet up.

Hunger is a serious thing that no one should experience for just an hour, because if anyone do anything can happen because of it. When hunger comes your mental health becomes challenged. So, hardship indeed has a great influence on our mental health.

Because of hardship the up coming generations now, has decided to risk their lives by selling drugs, kidnapping, arm robbery, selling of human parts and involving on prostitution in order for them to earn a living or just to meet up.

I want to believe that it is not only hardship that make people turn to prostitution some people are there due to peer pressure while some are there for exploration of such lifestyle. I’ve seen interviews where some of those prostitutes give their account and they don’t seem to be those who were pushed to the wall. Of course hardship can be a strong enabler to prostitution but some people are not practicing prostitution because of abject poverty, some it is as a result of their upbringing or press group influence.

Hunger is a serious thing that no one should experience for just an hour, because if anyone do anything can happen because of it. When hunger comes your mental health becomes challenged. So, hardship indeed has a great influence on our mental health.

we all should not pray for hunger because there is nothing hunger cannot lead you to including all the things you mentioned above. Sometimes you are faced with a situation that looks like your success is a nightmare to you but once you are optimistic of your condition and your abilities and you also decide not to stay completely jobless, you will definitely have one thing or the other to fall back on if not the government doesn’t help us at all.

Risk requires a prerequisite of safety. This is something we are forgetting all the time.

You brought up the inability to try out new ideas without certainty of returns. We have developed an entire global culture around the entrepreneur who takes the risk to invest their capital. But there is a risk of losing the money and if that happens, you must have a second source of money to cover the loss.

If there is no financial cushion, it may mean the difference between life and death if a new idea is attempted, so that conservatism is the only sensible biological choice.

This labor-saving mechanism is noted by the economy. Then classifies the impacted populations as unmotivated. Hardship also undermines the sense of community. I can see this everywhere.

Compassion demands energy. Empathy demands time. If someone has already spent 12 hours dealing with basic survival problems, he or she cannot afford to pay the biological price for sustaining deep human relationships. Other people just get in the way. Or assets.

We express economic policy as a tool to change inflation. And seldom acknowledging that the choices in question actively shape human action, withholding their remaining resources and rendering their subjects utterly powerless by the fear of losing them.

When we talk of economic hardship, people relate it mostly with its effect on the accounts and pockets of persons, but hardship does more than that, it does a lot of damage to the mentality of victims of economic hardship.

When people experience pressure under economic hardship, their thinking is surely short term, instead of thinking of the next investment, the attention is fixed in the next meal; capital expenditure is surely eliminated.

Economic hardship also affects the ability to take calculated risks, and try out new ideas, because there's little or no room to risk resources without certainty of returns, totally avoiding the ability to earn potential rewards from risks.

Mental stress from economic hardship also affects the productivity of persons.

Economic policies in any economy is important, when economic hardship is created, it doesn't just affect the financial situations, it also affects the mentality of individuals and households.

The environment a person's grows has a big impact on the mentality of that has being seen in our every day lifestyle. Most people who grow up in the streets tend to have a very low mindset based on the environment they grow in and their mindset are limited to just that environment. This is a major problem that many people who grow in the ghetto have, not like it was planned but a issue that arised based on certain circumstances.

What you say is certainly true, as the influence of the environment also plays a role in changing and shaping each person's way of thinking. Therefore, the differences in thinking among individuals are clearly very different when they live in different environments. However, there are also one or two individuals who are capable of genius thinking despite living in slums, unlike what many people imagine. Because intelligent people can be born from any environment and are not limited by any particular place, although this is not the case for most.

Furthermore, we can see examples of some intelligent people who are successful today who also came from very ordinary environments. So all of that is just a general benchmark, while the rest depends on yourself in terms of whether or not you want to struggle and think more critically and very differently from most other people in the same environment.

Environmental factors certainly have a big influence, no one can deny that, but it cannot be denied either that the mind depends on oneself, and when we experience economic difficulties, of course it will affect mentality and many other things.

I will not blame the environment or anything because in my opinion, oneself can be controlled as we want, and if we really can strive to change ourselves for the better, then of course it can be done regardless of any obstacles.

I agree that the environment in which a person is raised can have a significant impact on their mindset few people can resist the influence of their environment. For example, if the surrounding environment is negative only a few of them can resist it by not being swayed by the negative environment but instead doing the opposite. And someone who tends to face difficulties in life may actually have a stronger mindset than someone who was pampered by their parents.

[Canves]

When we are under financial pressure, our plans also go awry. That is why if you observe, you will understand that those who already have a significant amount of money are taking more risks and building wealth. However, those who are under financial pressure are afraid to take risks to meet the needs of their family. Because they think that if their risk does not work out, they may become destitute.

[Crypto_Timothy]

The worst of all i think is the adaptability that comes with economic hardship, you see alot of person now adjusted to a way of life that can only be explained as a result of severe economic hardship. These person will wake up and do the best they can just to survive for that day but when you speak to these persons sometimes, they use words like "na normal something na", "make we just manage am like that" I hear these things and i keep thinking, what happens one day if one person decides to say enough, it just breeds curiosity with me sha, becuase all it takes it for one person to say enough.

[jcojci]

They will search for the way to solve their problem that happens in front of them. If that is not cover, they will not thinks the next but will focus to solve it first. If they get finances hardship, they will figure out the way how to earn more and gives them safety then they will thinks the next.

They need to calm down and not feels stress as that will not helps them to get the way. If they are in rush, that will makes them make a mistake and affect to the others. So try to calm down and relax your minds for a while to thinks what you can do.

Economic hardship is the most critical of all to experience because it's placed one's mentality on a different perspective, that is why some will often settle down for the less, because they have already given up of making it despite their relentless efforts, in life, we should prepare for challenges ahead, because they are going to come, but you must be able to overcome them by embracing every situation with the determination that we are going to get out of it successfully.

Sometime economic hardship completely changes the thinking way of an individual. Many individuals works hard and putting there hundred percent efforts but they don't receive that outputs which they deserving then people start accepting less outputs.  And no doubt financial instability not put effects on lifestyle but it also affects the mental peace and hope for future. But its very rational that life is full of challenges even for financially stable persons. But the successful person are those who continue moving in this time so we should prepare mentally to face these challenges so we focoused on solutions of problems instead of giving up. Every problem is an opportunity for successful people to learn and improve there personalities. And success comes with time and its requires patience and discipline so people should not loss there hopes and remains confident to shape there future for growth

Hardship is really bad. Economic hardship is one amongst the worst things that should happen to anyone. Some are in the state that they can feed themselves. There standard for of living is too poor that they can think like normal humans.

It is no lie that a man who had money and can completely take care of his economics of financial needs thinks and reasons differently from a man who cannot afford to live a normal life like others. There thoughts are quite different. There way of doing things, there manarism and speech is different. So those leaving in underdeveloped countries, where citizens are finding it difficult to survive, it's just best that they get a skill which will help them fend for themselves. People should be able to live a life that you can provide for yourself and afford some basic and economic needs

Many people may face economic difficulties. To overcome these difficulties, individuals strive and begin searching for a way. Making wise decisions, creating a sound plan, researching, and self-improvement are behaviors a person will adopt to progress. Economic difficulties can also teach a person many things, and learning from them can lead to better future actions.

Self-improvement enables individuals to make sound plans in many ways. Difficulties will certainly exist, but it is necessary to learn from them and make the right moves.

That's right. You are a function of the environment you come from and the way you reason and relate with people will depend on the place you are raised some way you think and do things in your life. A person who grew up in the ghetto is not expected to behave or think like someone who grew up in a well to do environment there has to be the ghetto life style in the person and his mindset will be limited to the things he sees or does where he grew up same ay with people who grew up in a good environment.
