Social Classes

Social classes have dictated this world ever since man has stepped foot on this earth. Even when humans weren't even considered fully civilized there was some form of leader to peasant relationship. It is unfortunate that even to this day, when one is born, people are somewhat characterized, labeled, and processed into a certain group based soulfully off of their parent's income and status. When dealing with issues on social class, it is important to realize that this has nothing to do with a person's personality or interests, only the superficial is visible. In America we like to consider ourselves good deserving and prideful people, yet how can we define ourselves as that if we judge others on the price tag of their clothing and car?   

Social class is in a way a necessity in order for a society to fully function. But the question is why do these invisible boarding lines of class have to be so strong and grounding to its inhabitants? Why do they have to define who we are? There will always be the rich and the poor, but why do we have to have an unseeable label fallow us around wherever we go? This is because fate originally defines our class. No one has the will to be born into a rich or poor house hold. One is just simply handed this, and in no way are we to alter it. Fortunately, in America, people have a greater ability of succeeding and surpassing their original class into a higher one in hopes of living a better life. But is this fair to some, while others are already born into a higher class and can show no work ethic at all and still given a high amount of opportunities? No it is not fair and unfortunately social class will always be defined by income and appearances and not work ethic and social likability.
