"Low class" is insulting - its not a question of political correctness.
And when people don't have any confidence, don't have any education,
don't have any skills to market themselves with, they are truly trapped
in a cycle of lack. They are simply without life tools to economically
survive. When you start out like that, in a blatantly corrupt society
which keeps the poor down, life is quite impossible. Its not like in
the western world where scholarships can open doors. |
