Do you think that there are still social classes? There are still social classes whether you like it or not. We can define class through careers, appearance, behaviors, locations and the stuff they own. Have you ever noticed how really rich people and really poor people have the similar issues? When I first heard this, I was shocked. But it totally makes sense now. Rich people want more and more so they get people to watch their kids. Poor people have the issue with not making enough money, so they have to work a lot, so they can’t stay home with their kids. In our class we watched some videos of people a who were in the lower spectrum who wanted their children to have a better life they did things like worked more hours. The mother plays a big role in teaching the children things like how to clean, behave, and be responsible. When the mother is not in the home it can have a big impact on the kids.
I want you to think what has your family done for you to have a better life? How have they suffered so you can have a better life? Mothers and fathers will do anything for their children. They don’t like to see their children be in pain or to be needing things they can’t afford. My parents both didn’t come from very rich families. My dad had nine other siblings raised in a father less home. So, they did not have much. He would tell us stories of his mom putting water in the ketchup bottle to make it last longer. My dad worked hard to come to where he is now. He went to work right after high school. He worked multiply jobs when my parents first were married for the first few years. He now has his own business. I would say that my dad’s hard work has paid off, he can now take my mom on a fun trip some place tropical. When people are struggling through life it can actually be a good thing because when you struggle that is when you grow the most. Most people don’t think of struggling that way. They think of if as a bad thing. When you work for things in life it is that much better. Let’s say you were not very good at baking so you go buy a cake for your mom’s birthday she would like it, but it can only be so good because its store bought. But if you struggled to bake your mom’s family recipe for cake from scratch she would enjoy it more to you and her. Working hard on something and seeing it pay of can be one of the most joyful things ever.
This last week we talked about immigration and why so many people do it illegally. I have never realized how difficult it is. How hard it is on the families. They do this, so the children can have a better life. There have been studies where Mexican families were happier in Mexico because they had enough money to get by and be happy and had their extended family. But once they come to the US they leave their extended family. They then go from mom not working to mom and dad working because it is more expensive to live in the US. And the jobs they do get are crummy because they can’t find a good job because they don’t speak English and are illegal. So now moms as dad’s lives aren’t the best because they both come home grumpy from a long day of work. But they do this all for their children, so they can get a good education learn English and have a better life. Most parents will literally do anything for their children.
