A new paradigm for understanding today’s poverty in the Moroccan society: toward a micro-sociological perspective

Résumé

Poverty is a very worrying phenomenon in all countries; the Moroccan society is no exception to this real problematic, where it tried to propose a set of programs and strategies in order to respond to the constraints posed by this problem in all levels. In fact, we find that these programs/solutions proposed by various actors’ lack realism aspects, in the sense that the focus was largely on the major levels, rather than the small levels. Based on this proposition, the problem in our vision is not related to the issue of poverty, but in how we think about it. So, the aim of this scientific article is to change the logic of thinking relatively, from macro-sociological perspective that focuses on ‘the external factors’, to micro-sociological one that focuses on the internal factors related to the individuals themselves. The problematic question in this paper is how to understand poverty, in terms of the sociology of action? The result of this theoretical attempt is that social phenomena such as poverty require all actor’s to change the logic of looking more than blaming the social reality.
