The Possible

For our class we had to watch a few videos regarding social and economical class. I watched how people in different classes acted differently and had certain unspoken social rules that they followed. A man explained in one of the videos that it is pretty much impossible to change from one class to another. Why he said it was hard was because of the unspoken rules. They had to change the person they were and their personal habits. I do not entirely agree with him. Although, it may be hard, it is more possible than he said it was. It is only hard, in my opinion, if the person truly does not want to change who they are, but just want the lifestyle. There is a movie that I watched, that gives a good example of this called, "The Unsinkable Molly Brown". In this movie Molly was was raised in a little cabin that had a father and some rowdy boys. Molly dreamed of a different life though. She dreamed of the fancy life with bright colors and expensive furniture. Because of her dream she learned to read, write, and act like a lady. Although this example is not a true story, her ambition to have a better life lead her to completely changed how she acted and even looked. Ambition and faith in one's self, is ultimately what can make the change very possible and successful.
