Many Americans can't see behind the scenes. They don't see the hard work and motivation of the lower classes ending up in the trash. The lower classes are stuck in their lower class. They see certain people they cannot accept. The American dream is easy for some, but difficult to achieve for many others. When lots of people are walking down the street and a homeless person is sitting there, what do they do? They move on and mutter something like get a job or try harder. Most poor people cannot do much more to improve their social class. It's like they're stuck there. In Tammy Crabtree's story, her family suggests this idea: “I grew up poor, my father worked hard. He's worked 27 years... and it's not easy." (People Like Us: Social Class in America) Tammy and her family have nothing else to do. They've worked all their lives and they've been smart with their money. nothing else to do to improve their life. Even poor and not the best looking people can't get a good job. They are stuck in that one job because no other place wants to hire them in a social class. You cannot choose your social class the lessons. When the poor are born into the lowest social class they cannot move. No member of a high social class wants a person who cannot afford a dress. These people do not have enough money to do anything except buy food we comment on this topic: “I come from the middle class because that's where I was born and that's where I live.” (People Like Us: Social Class In America) This suggests that because you were born into a class, that's where you will stay. If you are born in a low class you cannot rise to a high class. The high class won't even accept you because... half of paper... the same education or any practice in socializing with the rich. They can't even look at these brats. No wonder they don't like rich people. Many people see the negative side of the lower classes, but do people ever see the positive side? They work harder than most people in the United States. They value family time over money. They want equality for them and they want to be seen as normal human beings. If equality is in our Constitution, then why aren't people treated equally? Let's start looking behind the scenes and see what's really happening. Works Cited Ehrenreich, Barbara.
