Being raised as a middle class child I took some things for granted. Always thinking I would have a roof over my head and food on my plate distorted my image of the rest of the world. I never really took the time to realize how our complex society works. Many factors have been said to affect our social standings, such as race, religion, class, and gender. But I believe that its not these things that affect us, at least not to their full extent. In fact religion, and gender don’t play a major role in our society anymore. We have evolved, and learned that we can become more united if we all strive for the same goal, success.
The key though to achieving this goal, this high rank in the social structure is wealth. Our society is based on how much money you have and how many people you control with that money.

Which gives you a boost into becoming more influential because no one is suppressing you by your beliefs. To be powerful people must listen to you and like what you have to offer, they must be willing to go against others in the fight to protect what you have to say. Our nations leaders may have more power then we as common people do, but that doesn’t me our voices cant be heard.
The only thing that can hinder my ability to achieve my goals is a lack of education. And sure enough I rounded up more friends this way and soon found myself in a state of having control over a group of people because they liked what I had to say. As I was growing up I also found out that if I voiced my opinions more often I would be listened to and admired for what I had to say. But it’s more complicated then that; you also need a voice.
I was brought up in a normal family.
