[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I watched Dead Poets Society in the '80s and '90s and thought, 'Wow, the upper class in the US is intense.' It’s just that the US has a much wider social spectrum, which provides more flexibility and options. Countries like Japan and Korea have a narrower and more compact social spectrum, hence higher expectations and more competition. There are pros and cons in each, of course, just like anything else. The pros of a more compact social spectrum include lower crime rates, common social ground, and so on. [/quote] The US is quickly losing that wider social spectrum. It’s turning into every other place, where some people are ridiculously wealthy while most others are deeply in debt.[/quote]
