(22nd Apr 10 at 12:16pm BST) | | Hmm, I know what Im gonna say might be a bit mean but.... Yeh there is difference, even in my 'village' of West Horsley. But people close to me have said that its generational lack of learning (meaning that its pointless educating the children as the parents will drag them down again) and also of aspirations. Poorer people NEED to show off what little they have (jewellery, designer labels, customised cares etc) and that leads to jelousy, theft and a connection to the fashion/bling and current fads of the day.
Im not saying that well off peopel dont show off - in my village you can see it - but its alot more understated and subtle. My parents are ok I guess and we have a nice house but they dont have to compete with anyone else. Traditionally poorer people feel they do have to compete.
Putting people in an area without changing their makeup wont work - they will just mess that place up. I guess restricting what they have acces to might work as educating them in being nice hasnt worked either.
OMG this sounds horrible but I really dont mean it to be! I dont know what the best way is! | |
