It seems like most of the people that I know in the high income bracket believe that they are somehow part of this global community that exceeds even the connection they have with their own country. They relate more with the rich of other nations than with the middle and working class of their own countries. The world seems to be their playground and they live life as if it is an episode of s*x and the City. This is especially true of rich people from third world countries. Are we witnessing a slow return of social classes and wealth based on privilege? I mean the mass marketing of socialites like Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie is startling.

  1. I think that many are embracing the concept of One World, One Culture.  If we can somehow break down the cultural barriers which create an us against them mentality, we have a chance to achieve a worldcentric ethos.

    More of the ones with means have the resources to attempt to implement this change, and they are putting their dollars to work in this endeavor.

    To me, the concept of class and privilege is slowly transforming into an opportunity to initiate positive change.

    Or, maybe my rose colored glasses are skewing my perceptions.  I hope not.
