Monopoly ...

This week in class one day we played monopoly. Whoever rolled the highest number was in the highest class and whoever rolled the lowest was in the lowest class. Luckily i rolled highest and got to make bank. The game was very easy for me, since i owned all four railroads i got paid every time someone landed on them. The lower classes didn't own anything so they never really had any opportunities to be able to make the money that they needed in order to survive. I thought that this really helped me put the classes into perspective. It is very true that people at the bottom have a hard time coming up because they mainly know others that are stuck at the bottom as well and don't have enough money in order to pay for a higher education. Those with money had it easy. They could have money passed down to them by their rich family and had the way to pay for a good education and find jobs that would want them. I noticed that i made a lot more money and the lowest class just went way into debt. Like Sal said, "it costs more to be poor", i completely agree with that. They need to pay for for down payments on a house or apartment or pay earlier and more for electric of other expenses because the companies think that they either wont pay up or will just leave when they get the chance. It sucks to be stuck at this point when there is nothing that you can do about it. Society needs to give everyone an equal chance for a good education, they always say that they want children to have a better education and get farther but where are they doing that? Were stuck in or around the social class that we are born into and there really isnt much we can do about it.
