Chapter 53 Author's Essay - Pros and Cons of Class Solidification

Today's political science teacher is finally late, he is a famous lecturer who publishes his own book, and he flies back and forth to various tutoring classes, and during the class, he joked that he is working so hard to attend classes in order to give his daughter in the United States a more comfortable life, and her daughter is now attending a private elementary school in the United States, and the tuition fee is 800 US dollars a week, which is not counting anything else.

During the period, he also talked about the comfortable life in the United States, the high sense of happiness of the people, living and working in peace and contentment, and getting along with each other.

In fact, in my opinion, the happy life of the American people comes from their class solidification, and the solidification of American class is an indisputable fact, and there are very few channels for the people at the bottom to go up, and at the same time, education is extremely expensive, and high-quality educational resources are not affordable by ordinary people, but at the same time, the United States provides sufficient basic education resources, and the children of ordinary people should not think about higher education, learn some basic, and meet the needs of work.

There are other factors that have solidified the American class, but in fact, as long as you accept this solidification and begin to enjoy the life of the common people, do not blindly pursue the upper class, enjoy the present, enjoy the present, and add the blessing of religious beliefs, of course, you will live a comfortable and happy life.

However, China is different, China opposes class solidification, emphasizes that education is the foundation of the country, and China's class mobility channels are still unimpeded, the most common of which are the college entrance examination, postgraduate entrance examination and doctoral examination.

China's education is cheap, college tuition is less than 10,000 a year, and there are various poverty subsidies, while the United States tuition is tens of thousands of dollars a year, cheap education and a fair examination system give more people hope to change the class, at the same time everyone is generally aware of the trend of class solidification is getting bigger and bigger, this opportunity to change the class and the pressure of class solidification has prompted the Chinese people to generally maintain vigorous vitality, in order to change their own class, improve their own lives, everyone is working hard, because everyone knows very well, The opportunity to change classes is still considerable.

However, this kind of active competition will inevitably lead to the anxiety of the people, because infinite competition will inevitably produce a small number of winners and a large number of losers, these people who are originally the same class, bear their own failures, and watch a few people of the same class succeed in entering the upper class, this double psychological pressure is unbearable for human nature, so anxiety, hatred of the rich, resentment and other emotions will inevitably occur.

But this is also a kind of trade-off, the solidified class makes people extinguish the desire to struggle, have no contrast and psychological pressure, and begin to enjoy the happiness that belongs to their own class. Although active class changes will inevitably lead to some social contradictions and bad feelings, if such unstable factors can be well controlled, then active class changes will certainly give the country and the people a vigorous driving force.
