We are not born equal.

Is it really possible to beat the system? Ever since I’ve studied society I’ve come to see some of the limits and restrictions placed on us.

If you’re born into a rich privileged family, most likely, you will receive an above standard education. With your better education you get a better job and get married to a girl with a similar socioeconomic status. Now you’re probably thinking, no thats not necessarily true, a rich guy can marry a poor girl or vice versa.

Yes that is true, but it doesn’t often happen, because the people you are exposed to if you’re economically privileged are different to the people you’d be exposed to if you’re less wealthy. Just through simple selective exposure, you’re much more likely to marry someone with a similar economic background. 

What I was trying to say in that tangent was, it’s a cycle, rich people have kids who become rich because of their paid education and marry other rich people. Poor people stay poor because they have kids who have are disadvantaged in terms of education and possibly health (food available on the table etc). 

I just got up and I’m halfway through my coffee, this is the worst worded thing I’ve ever written.
