Social Class

There was a woman in the movie we just watched in class stating that she believes that social class is all in the mind. In a way I see where she is coming from because someone may think that they have everything they need to satisfy their needs and wants, but can be in the lower class. There happened to be a quiz online where you decorate your house how you normally would and they would rank what class you would be in; they put me in the middle middle class. There are certain aspects in my house at least where I believe resembles a more of a higher class. (Which is where I am according to the social class ladder). It's all an aspect of whether your needs are satisfied and you are happy. Many people feel the need to buy a $600 pair of Louis Vuitton shoes to be happy- as discussed that Oprah has. But, you can clearly tell that certain people like Oprah and Donald Trump have the money. Oprah wasn't always wealthy though, she grew up with little money and worked her way up the social class ladder. It's those families like the Hilton's that are old money since their foundations have been established a long time ago.
