The issue why gamblers are perceived as irresponsible individuals is because of what the society has always known, and the views that they have had to adopt because that is what is common around them. When most people begin to think that all gamblers are irresponsible, anybody new into their environment will have the same thinking if the person is someone who cannot think for themselves. On what can change people's thinking concerning gambling and their views and opinions, I think a massive orientation would do the job, people need to understand that gambling is only an irresponsible behavior when it is abused just like every other thing.
