Social Classes Documentary

We're watching a movie on the differences between people of different social classes and the differences between the lives that they lead. The gap between very rich and very poor is massive. While some people get by in shabby conditions paycheck to paycheck and without a dollar in the bank, others have anything that they want and will still leave millions to their children.

I feel that the old money rich people are very artificial and pretentious. If any one of them doesn't follow a certain norm that they're "supposed" to follow, they will be looked down upon and talked about behind their backs. Subtle details, such as shoulder level when speaking to someone, and what kind of fork you use, mean a lot to these people. They're really insignificant details. This just shows that they have so much time on their hands, all they can do is obsess over things like this. Had these people not been born into wealth, most of them would have been incapable of acquiring it on their own. I respect those who earn their money. It's unfair that some can do nothing and live lavishly while others work night and day and barely get by. But that's how life is and it's not changing soon. All that one can do is try their hardest to make it on their own.
