OUTLOOK
For DEEP ANALYTICAL thinkers only, how does one original socioeconomic class ( i.e. the socioeconomic class you were born into) influences one's formative & adult outlook on life whether it is your educational, life choices, career opportunities or lack of, how you view society, etc.?I don't know - there are plenty of movie stars out there - probably the most common role model.
But you're right that a reasonable mental attitude is difficult for those that are surrounded by poverty. When parents, siblings, relatives and friends wallow in poverty, blaming others for all that is wrong, it's very easy to fit into the same mold.
