"Let's go piping"

In class last week we watched a movie about social class. It focused on the wealthy and the poor. I thought the movie was funny because in one section of the movie, there was a woman who was giving lessons on how to act and talk like the wealthy. Also, there was one particular guy who was talking about being rich and the things that "rich" people can do over the poor people. It's sad to think that the wealthy people are going to be stuck up while the poor people are timid and nice. The poor people in the movie don't have really anything. In our society, we judge people based on their social class. We assume that if you're poor, you don't shower and your a bad person; but if your wealthy, you can afford wine and dine service and people look up to you. In my opinion that's stupid. People shouldn't judge you based on your social class, you should judge them based on what their personality is. But in our society, that will never happen. We as a whole are so focused on getting the next best thing. We need to figure out a way to make our society a better place.
