Ideas For Final Paper

One of the topics I am interested in writing about is how people view cars in society. I want to see if people view your car and automatically put in in a certain social class or if they view the car as part of your personality. I want to learn if the car is a major part of how people view wealth and to see if people with wealth own nicer cars, as well as if people with less wealth own nice or none nice cars as people view. I want to see if people judge a book by its cover or if they see the person before they judge the class they are in.

This website gives all views of this topic and I think it is a great start for me to get started on my paper.
Another topic I am interested in writing about is whether people think wealth is given to you or if you have to work hard for it. There are two different sides to this topic, the one where people grow up in a wealthy family and the second one is where people grow up and earn every bit of wealth they have. I think it would be a great thing to learn that if people that grow up in wealth have to work as hard as people that start out with lesser wealth. This will be interesting because people always view people with wealth as being handed everything, so I am curious if this is really true or if they really work as hard as people do that start with much less than they do.

This website gives the views of every part of the wealth spectrum, so if I do this paper it will be a great place to start.
