Poverty

By looking at the graphs it showed that kids did better when they received lunch. I could just imagine why kid do better when they aren't hungry because they are not worrying about where there next meal is going to come from. The world is a hard place for a lot of unfortunate people, and I wish that people that are very unfortunate just didn't have kids because it puts their kids through such a hard life. People that hadn't grown up poor and they don't understand how hard it is to not eat for days on end. Some countries don't even have enough money to have programs for these kids and families but I don't think that the kids should be punished for being born into a poor family/society it just proves that life is not fair.

I believe that you can do whatever you want but it takes money or a lot of hard work! I think that people are given different opportunities so I think that it is just what you do with the opportunities that you are given. Her son wants to be an architect or a lawyer, I believe that people can do whatever they want but I will either take a lot of money which he is poor and can get federal funding but he would of had to put a lot of work in to become either a lawyer or an architect. I think a factor that will hold them back is just living in an area where people just aren't successful and if you aren't successful than you aren't looked at differently. Honestly I don't think they will because they weren't set up for success they don't have that person to tell them they can do it! There were so many people in their community that were (failures) or people that didn't complete high school or college that it doesn't make them look that bad. I think that by succeeding you meet successful people and it is all about knowing one person or another because one day you might need a favor and you remember that person you met and give them a call and they could possibly help you with a job, or help you need.

I believe that social class affects the way you are completely! If you are poor and cannot afford good clothes you get teased if you cannot afford to play sports you will probably get teased. But some people do very well in high school and it transfers through

to college and to their job. I think that moving down would be hard for someone that was rich because they are used to having nice things and used to going out but when you don't have a lot of money you have to save money just to get by. People in different classes act way different! If you were someone that was poor and became rich you would most likely be humble about it and act the same because that's the way you grew up but you might not act preppy or classy enough to hang with the rich kids. It would cause a lot of problem with your family and friends because if you were rich your poor friends would probably treat you different because now your rich and they think that would change you. I also think that people that were rich might not accept you because you were once poor. I would end up with the kids that play sports or the working kids either one.

  

My family owns nothing that shows social class because we are poor! I think that people are treated differently because of the things they have such as: a house, a car, and a job you get treated differently because of everything. Adults teach there children to treat everyone as you want to be treated but treat someone horrible because they are rich or poor. I don't really think that your taste in bread affects your social class because there is no price difference between white and wheat bread one is just healthier. I prefer white bread but haven't really given wheat bread a chance.
