The Social Class Ladder!!

In class we talked about the social class and how the rich are getting richer; yet the poor are getting poorer. The gap between the high and the low classes have increased phenomenally. In class we each were given six pennies and we were coin tossing to see how many pennies everyone in the class would end up with. In the beginning the class all guessed that the amount of pennies  people would be half and half(half would have way more and half would have very little). The game rules are that there is a 50, 50 chance, yet in the end it always turns out the same way. At the end there were very few on top, a couple in the middle, and a ton on the bottom.We are put into our classes based on how much money we make. When in a social class it is hard to change it because that is what we grew up knowing. Yes we say that the people in lower classes could change it if they really wanted to have a better life, but the fact is it is hard to change it once you are there because yes they are given opportunities to get an education. If they are in poverty or lower class then it is harder because they aren't able to pay for as good of schooling. Also if they are starting of in working class they are probably helping support the family so they don't have time to go get more schooling. I don't come from a super wealthy family, but I would say that I am middle class. I have seen the differences in classes throughout High school. One of my friends gets whatever she wants using daddy's credit card, while one of my other friends have to work consistently because they don't have as much and are trying to get money so they are able to get the chance to go to college and get a good education. Social class gap is increasing by a large amount from top to bottom.
