Monopoly

Playing monopoly with the amended rules according to the U.S. class system really did open my eyes to a better understanding of the class structure in the U.S. The rich got richer and the poor got poorer. And although this may be sad, it is, on some levels, true. What we see is the rich getting more benefits and opportunities, which in turn allows them to become even richer, while the poor barely have any opportunities or help, therefore becoming even poorer. This is the unavoidable lack of manuverability in the class system of the United States. We see this in many statistics of real places such as big cities. Those who live in poverty, or are close to it, either stay in poverty or probably become a part of it. Those that have the money to get into a good pre school, then grade school, then high school, then college, make plenty of money because they started out with it. Sadly but truly, this is the inescapable class system of the United States.
