So because i don't have money for new books, I won't make it?

According to Jean Anyon in 1980, someone of a low social class usually does not have the opportunity in becoming a doctor, or lawyer, etc. I feel as that view is highly dated, there are numerous of people who have come from nothing, that have the mindset that I will become whatever I set my mind to. The United States offers so many opportunities for citizens that are descend from poverty. There are millions of success stories of individuals that grew up in the city streets and are now millionaires.

Also it proves to be also vice versa for millionaires, there are plenty of people who come from very wealthy families, or are wealthy themselves that have ended up on local city streets. Your social class does not determine your future. Who you become is entirely up to you, although it is more difficult when you are switching into a higher social class it is definitely possible. That’s because in this day and age we are given immense chances to do whatever it is we desire.

In the 1980s opportunities where much slimmer, and society had different approaches to situations. We also dealt with more controversial and judgmental views. Views that are now not seen as frequently seen or used. We have a more motivational and accepting society, of course we still have our faults, but we are not subjected to the same category as the one we did fall into 35 years ago.
