Social Class

      In class we discussed how social class can affect how things work in the family and how families grow. I think that social class can either completely tear a family apart or bring them together and make them very strong.

    As far as I have seen, I think that when you are high in the social class, you become greedy and a lot of what you do is based on getting more for yourself. Now this isn't the case for everyone. There are plenty of good wealthy people out there who love to give what they have. But things can't buy you happiness and some people think they do. This causes them to never be happy and always wanting the next big thing and the best cars or boats or other toys.

     On the flip side, I have seen many humble families who are not wealthy who all they have is each other and they are completely happy. They have learned to rely on each other and to trust each other. It makes it easier for us to appreciate what we have when we don't have much at all. We realize that we are blessed to be with our families and that is enough for us.
