The Vicious Circle

The Vicious Circle refers to a situation where a problem leads to consequences that worsen the original issue, creating a cycle that is hard to break. For example, poverty may lead to lack of education, which in turn leads to limited job opportunities. This lack of employment keeps people in poverty, perpetuating the cycle. Each factor reinforces the others, making it difficult to find a solution. The concept highlights how interconnected problems can require comprehensive strategies to address underlying issues rather than merely treating symptoms.
