What factors are most like to aid/hinder mobility?
2.Generally speaking, university and college students in Canada have low incomes. Can they uniformly be said to be members of the “lower class”? Why or why not?
I WILL BE APPRECIATE IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME WITH THIS
1) social mobility is about a person being able to come to canada and be able to make millions of dollars…the truth is its really hard to do with the system we have set in western culture…stats can show you that canada is getting richer but they also show the gap between rich and poor increasing at the same rate…in other words it is a myth, the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and those in the middle class are stuck treading water
2) im gonna leave number 2 for u to do, because im prolly doing all ur homework then..i’ll help explain it though..its asking if a person person attending post secondary has low income, and low income people are generally considered low class, can post secondary students be considered low class…think about the real definition of lower class..is it just about income? or does it apply level of education, level of health, etc?
You need to turn the saying around because it is obviously not true. It isn’t quite wrong either, but it implies that anyone who tries WILL suceed, and there’s the rub. You can’t even say “Only those who try make it” either because some are born on top, and some, in effect, win the lottery. I subscribe to the wisdom of the great baseball pitcher from the Negro League who went on to the majors later in life, Satchel Paige. He said,”You can’t help being born average, but you don’t have to be common.” Celebrate striving, not success. By the way, university students may not earn much, but university graduates do.
