Social Class

The social class spectrum ranges from rich to poor all over the world. People divide themselves among the ideals that society has created throughout centuries. In reality these classes must exist despite the fact that many wish they did not. The wealthy are many times quickly judged and categorized as snobs. Meanwhile, the poor are given derogatory names such as "trash". It is the world in which we live in today that has evolved and let the difference of social classes become an issue in regards to treatment. The rich are treated different from the poor in the way that they are respected more, given more attention, and are overall treated much better.

Respect is craved by many. Essentially, respect should be earned through abilities, qualities, and or achievements. For the wealthy in society, respect is often very attainable because of their superiority to the poor. This reality can even be applied to scenarios in the workplace where the boss is always more respected than the workers. The example speaks for itself, one strives to admire and praise the person in charge because they have the money, they have the power, they sign their paycheck. In contrast, the poor are seen as useless and the level of respect people have for them is astonishing. As imperfect people we are quick judge, make assumptions, and jump to conclusions. Nonetheless, a poor person is not given the respect they deserve, just like the rich, they are a living human beings and the number of bills in a person's wallet should not make them any better of a person.

It is nothing out of the ordinary to hear someone speak the words "I wish I was rich". The truth is most people do have this desire. The population of the world has become a materialistic society, and have carved the idea in their heads that "money buys happiness". Whether the rich are more happy than the poor is debateable, what is not however, is the attention they receive in comparison. This is seen in a plethora of situations but the most prominent one is observed within the walls of hospital rooms. The rich, the ones with the better medical insurance receive much better attention that the ones without this advantage. Nurses are to your disposal, doctors attend you quicker, your overall service and stay is needless to say impressive. The poor are also treated of course, however, not with the many luxuries the person with more numbers in their bank account does.
