Answer and Explanation:
Sociology studies the interactions between individuals and societies, as well as the processes that maintain or change such societies. To do so, it takes different aspects and institutions into consideration, since they may all affect those interactions to some extent: religion, education, race, gender, age, etc. Having that in mind, we can easily think of three topics a sociologist might investigate when studying poverty:
1. Why different racial groups are more or less poor than others;
2. If religion is connected to seeking or not material wealth;
3. Why uneducated people have a harder time getting out of poverty.
