Social Envrio
Social Environment and Its Effect On One's Life Social environment is influenced by one's power and wealth. This, in turn, determines success or failure in peoples' lives. If one were born with a "silver spoon" in his mouth, he would easily be able to attend a fancy school no matter how intelligent he is or have any luxury he wants just because of power and wealth. On the flip side, if one were born to a poor family in a bad neighborhood infested with violence and drugs, he would have a much smaller chance of succeeding in life, more especially, going to an upper-class school. It is hard for many poor to go to college because of such high tuition costs. Scholarships are available; but, even though one shows financial need, one still has to have a high grade point average and test scores. Even if one has a good mind, trying to study in a gang-ridden neighborhood with constant gunfire isn't easy. With both parents working two jobs, there isn't any parental guidance.

One may be smart enough to get grants but the family makes too much money. Also, if he sought admission into a prestigious school and it came down to the st! positive outlook on all situations and never stop trying. If one never gives up, one can achieve his goal no matter how unreal it may seem at the time. The most important thing is never to let society get in the way. One must not fall prey to society's evils and give up. If there were to be a solution, it would have to be bringing more jobs back into this great country of ours. Too many people are out of work because the greedy owners of companies are taking jobs away from American workers and giving them to foreigners who are paid next to nothing for intense labor. There is also a lack of good, well-educated teachers. Many of the bad neighborhoods, where the above-mentioned lower class live, are uneduca
