This photo depicts the possibility of the American Dream and demonstrates the change of social class, but is it actually possible to truly achieve change in social class? I for one do not think so. Social classes are defined as economic or cultural arrangements of groups in society.(http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/social+class)
How ever i believe social class to be more based upon ones personality. Your personality it what defines you as a person and has a great impact on the decisions you make in life. Personality is what enables social cliques, people with similar interests associating together. For example, at my school, "Almonte District High School", there are many different social cliques. You have the jocks who all hang out together because they all enjoy sports and dress similar. Then there is the smokers, they all hang out together because of their similarities in personality, they all tend to dress similar as well, but lack personal high gene and smoke because they enjoy it.
It is my personal opinion that because social class revolves around personality, you can not change your social class. no matter how rich you become or where you live, you will still be the same person. You will still enjoy the same activities and have the same interests. Social class doesn't resemble the rich and the poor, it merely shows the variety of people with different interests views and concepts in the world.
