Once your at the top you stay there..

This week in sociology, we continued learning about social classes. We watched a movie in class that basically talked about how the rich stay at the top while the poor continue to be poor. We played a game in class that determined the different social classes. It was an altered version of monopoly that made us realize how divided each social class is. The poor were digging themselves in a bigger hole during the game because there just wasn't enough money to pay for anything while the rich and mediocoure civilians were in decent positions. I personally am thankful for the things I have and seeing the different struggles people less fortunate than I have to go through everyday is upsetting. It may not be fair that the rich get by because of the amount of money they have but that's life and not everyone is going to be well off. You should appreciate the little things because that's what makes up some of the bigger things in our lives.
