Abstract Less than 2% of middle-class families use a financial aid service compared to 60% of lower-income households. Due to these statistics, this difference is a result of middle class’s belief that financial aid is not beneficial to the wealthy nor the middle-income families. Middle-class America is extremely hard working due to the fact they could work every single day of their life and not qualify for any financial aid towards a higher education, as opposed to a low-income house hold that…
In spite of the fact that we were a fairly “typical middle class white family”, my parents were careful to make sure we had ample exposure to culture and ethnic diversity. I was never raised to see people of any different ethnic origin to be any different than the rest of us, aside from a difference in customs…
to decrease this financial gap, we are reinforcing the ideology of the 1% and making it even harder for the middle class to grow. A strong middle class is extremely important to any country that wishes to develop and continue to grow in population. Without a strong middle class, it is incredibly hard in this day and age for the lower financial classes to break through the barriers of the class to which they are confined. The…

Republicans do better when discussing family values and cultural issues. Culture has to do with values, morality, and…

natural that the common people would support an idea that gives them power. This idea is so immensely popular and powerful that people were able to manipulate others into doing what they want with it.

In the end, however, the ones who the…
ABSTRACT Gentrification is the continuous cycle of generations in which higher income households displace lower income residents of a city neighborhood.
