Figures for instance, President Donald Trump have been vilified by the media to the extent that they’ve been labeled has greedy and selfish because of his wealth and successful businesses. Reality television shows such as “Keeping Up With The
During the Victorian Era, the upper class would lounge in luxury and bask in glory while the lower class suffered and endured hardships throughout their lives. Charles Dickens reveals the power and the effects of Victorian social hierarchy in his writing. These privileges the upper class possessed, such as better living conditions and much more opulence, caused them to behave arrogantly with members of the lower class. Throughout his lifetime, members of the upper class demeaned and degraded Charles
the lower class has repeatedly been placed at a disadvantage. This group has been suppressed to their superior counterparts since the beginning of time. Society may try to ignore the gap, but it is dangerously prominent and constantly growing. The economical difference is only one part of many in the differences of the rich and the poor.

For example, I was completely lost by the question about the free medical clinics, I had no idea where any would be and that could be life or death information for someone else. Or even the question about your favorite restaurants in different countries, I’ve barely left the U.S let alone know any of my favorite restaurants.

extremely harsh treatment of the lower class. It went out of its way to create any possible divide between the two social classes, middle and lower classes, to suppress and even eliminate the poor. It was not done in a way that would improve living conditions of the lower class but in the way that would physically and morally destroy the people that belonged to it.
