Social Class -

Rarely do we own up to our true social class. We see it as something that was "per-revolution" and therefore think that it is outdated. But whether we want to admit it or not, we are the product of social class. We walk the way we do, eat the things we eat, and talk to the people that we do, because of the way we were raised, and because of the social class that we were born into. Now, we can change that social class, but we will never be able to fully integrate ourselves into that world. That's the difference between old money and new money, in the upper classes. Its why some people are called "rich" and others "wealthy". Its all about they way we are perceived. We may be able to dress the way another group does. We might even be able to talk like them. But you can never be one of them. Its like taking a Paris Hilton, and trying to make her fit into the projects of Chicago. It would never work. No matter how much you trained her to change her voice or her dress or the way she walked, she could never be like lower class people. I also think its interesting, that no two lower class groups are the same. If you look at the lower class of South Carolina, and than look at the lower class of California, you would see drastic differences in the way they dress, the way they treat each other, and the things they find important.
