[quote=Anonymous]Ok, I'll bite - I think it's just developing a knowledge and empathy for how the other half lives - living in an uppermiddle class bubble MAY (and by no means am I saying it will) lead a child to believe that said child's socioeconomic status makes him "middle class" when in fact he's extremely fortunate and is in the top 1% for this country.   It MAY lead to an attitude or belief that there isn't really any poverty in the United States - and if there is - it's in ghettos in urban areas he never would go to, so he doesn't have to worry about - instead of next door or in the next neighborhood over. it MAY lead to a feeling of entitlement - he SHOULD get this he should get that because he is part of the ELITE, not because he's worked hard to get it or what not.  It MAY lead to a keeping up with the Jones' mentality - must have X, Y or Z (be it car, education, or vacation) instead of looking inside and figuring out what he really wants.  Plus, those rich kids have access and the means to buy all the drugs. :) [Joke].[/quote]
