People in higher social class have an exaggerated belief that they are better than others:https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190520093452.htm

I chose this article morally because it relates a lot to our theme of social class. A huge problem in the United States is how careless those of higher class are. Most of them believe that they are better than everybody else and that the problems in the corrupt environment of the United States doesn’t really matter to them morally because it doesn't affect them. For example, those who are Trump supporters are mostly those of wealth who accuse immigrants to be stealing all of their money and work when in reality those of wealth spend their time not doing much due to their success. My favorite part of this article is how they clearly state that those who are in a higher class believe that they are the prime citizens of the U.S. 

It is also extremely common for those who are born into a higher class family, to remain in a higher class family when those who are traveling to the U.S for better living conditions usually strive to work their way up to the higher class. They believe their higher class determines they capability of everything when in reality, it does. However, for a country that stresses their equality, this isn’t fair to those who are depending on connections (such as education or a successful job) to work their way up to a higher class.
