OK, I currently make a little under $100,000.00 a year.  I live in a 3000 sq ft home.  I have two cars, one of which is a Mercedes.  I have quite a bit of money in the bank and a rather tidy stock portfolio.  I have all the toys I could wish for and then some including a home theater projection system, high-speed internet access and a stereo system that can wake the dead.  If I lost my job today, I wouldn't have to worry for at least 2 years and could maintain my current lifestyle.  Or I could liquidate everyting and probably never have to work again at all though it would be of a necessarily lesser lifestyle.\n\nIt wasn't always that way.\n\nIn 1977, I earned less than $5,000.00 per year.  I supported a wife and son in a tiny garage apartment with nasty furniture.  We drove a 12 year old junker of a car that burned more oil than gas.  We had a tiny black & white TV that picked up two stations.  We didn't have a telephone or cable TV.  We ate lots of boxed mac & cheese (10 cents at Winn-Dixie) and cheap hot dogs.  If I lost my job back then, we would have been on the streets within 2 weeks, probably "living" in that old Dodge Dart.\n\nOwing to lots of hard work and sacrifice, I got from the "there and then" to the "here and now."\n\nI consider my reality to be much more valid than OJ's.  My guess is that he put on a bunch of weight and that the glove failed to fit as a result.  His money was a contributing factor, but not the primary one.

I did not quite understand your question but I get the impression you are a successful and rich man who is having trouble gaining the trust and respect of his peers and your "financial constraint" is having no time because you're working all the time, rather than having no money.\nGaining trust and respect depends where you are living.  In some countries, attempting to conceal your success and learning to relate to those who are less successful gains more respect.  In other countries, displaying your wealth gains respect.  While again, elsewhere, being generous can be a sign of kindness, or it can be a sign of wanting attention.\nFind a person you think gets a lot of respect from society - either someone you know personally or someone on TV - and observe how they act.  Have you ever noticed that one person can tell a joke and everyone will laugh and think they are so funny, yet another person can tell the same joke in the same way and no-one likes the joke and no-one thinks they are funny.  It's the same for different personalities.  Someone can be arrogant yet be popular, and another person could be arrogant yet hated.  But the latter could suddenly become modest and making fun out of himself and suddenly everyone loves him and respects him.\nBut don't feel the need to change for society.  The moment you stop worrying about what other people think will be the first step you take to being treated differently.  It does show.  Good luck, whatever you do!

- Having a job with high income\n- Having close family that are staying behind(i.e. spouse, dependent children) who are employed/go to school in the home country \n\nEven the first one might not be sufficient if you don't have the second or own any property.

You don't say what effect not having a job is having on your life.  Do you need the income to pay your bills and buy groceries?  Or is the income just because?  You also don't say what school you are in...high school or college.  Makes a difference.\n\nIf you are in school and do not need the income, then pull up your big girl panties and start cracking the books.  One day you'll find a decent job and possibly will be promoted and earn raises because you studied and learned how to apply yourself to the task at hand.

It is the "Gender-based hierarchic distribution of the society's economic and social resources" - This means that one gender is given more privilege, such as men vs. women in the job market.  Statistically, men make more money than women in the business world - they are receiving more economic resources (money) because of a gender hierarchy (men have 'higher' position than women in job market)

If you mean social influences affecting the perpetuation of the traditional nuclear family, then there would be negative effects.  Media representations of families support non-traditional family settings and rely on extended families and friendship kinships more often that a traditional family scape like those of the 50s and 60s.  We see more Will and Grace and Friends than Cosby and Family Ties.  I don't know if that is a reflection of society or if society is a reflection of the media's embrace of such situations.  At any rate, its up to the individual to decide whether or not that is a positive move.\n\nIn case you meant social learning in terms of child development and the conflicts which a young person may encounter concerning parental guidance and peer influence.  I've witnessed that be both positive and negative at work in my classroom.  I have seen kids that grew up on the street meet and learn things that will help them be more easily accepted into the world of middle class norms, and sadly I have seen those with everything in the world before them throw it all away by hooking up with drugs and alcohol, etc.\n\nIn short, social learning is important.  So is good decision making and that is what we should encourage, by consistently implementing consequences, both positive and negative.

Well, a feudal society is very regulated - every one is kept in their place. The poor peasants have no money, they're all using the bartering system to get what they want, the only way for people to make money is to be a merchant (ie sell on products made by other people), but you can't buy any good to sell if you don't have any money! Also they all live in very small towns - every one knows that you are a peasant and you can't pretend to be someone else. There is no transport so you can't get away from your village and even if you walked away, you'd turn up in the next village looking shabby and everyone would be suspicious of you because you're an outsider.\n\nSo -\nlack of physical currency \nlack of possessions\nlack of control over personal circumstances\nlack of transport\nsmall population\nlack of control over means of production (ie they don't own the things that are making money)\nattitudes (peasants deserve to be poor)\n\nIt wasn't until people started to become merchants that any social mobility was possible. It all comes down to money in the end!

In my experience the Best people do not think about being better than anyone else. They just do the best they can. Whilst money can help in many situations it is not a measure of the quality of a person. Many people overcome poverty to be great achievers.

every time a tax is reduced or elimenated, EVERYONE benifits.  \n\nFor example.  IF a tax for lets say Bill Gates is reduced, and lets say he gets to keep 1 million.  He buys a speedboat, or buys a corvette or two..   The people who made those products have more product to make increasing thier workload and gurenteeing them a job.  They make money.  Maybe not as much as Bill gates did, but they get something out of it.\nStop the social bickering.  Bill gates was snot nosed brat who didnt get a full education.  He made a product and developed it.  Got rich.  Gives lots of people jobs and has done more for the computer market them most people have for anything....\n\nPoint is that the economy is always worked as a trickle down effect.  It is not static at all!

People pays you when you provide something useful to the society. That can be providing processed goods or  something based on your talent or any physical work useful for society or when you provide something that belong to you temperorily for them(renting). In the above mentioned some require Capital and some require physical work along with necessary skills. Think of what useful thing you can do to the society, for which they will pay you the most. Then stick to it and work hard, you can be a rich man if you have sufficient talent in you.\n\nAlso, Always remember richness of mind is being happy with what you get.

A rapidly changing environment, mostly due to the effects of globalisation. Society (particuarly in the western world) is controlled by fear, a very powerful propaganda tool. We work too hard, we don't get paid enough and we aren't given enough time to enjoy the things we earn money for. Life is dominated by work, work for most people centres around a driving force to exceed targets on the previous year, to increase profit margin and generally to appease the great Gods "The Shareholders".\n\nAll in all, not the society I would have chosen to be born into.\n\nNot that it's all bad, just that I'm a synic.

People who have very little often do not get enough nourishment, have health problems that don't get treated due to lack of money. They can't afford to travel and go to school so they tend to have less education.\n\nSome people who come by money are affected by the power of money. They learn they can do things they could not before. They sometimes get careless with their morals or take risks and get into trouble that might not have happened before.\n\nThen there are others who are so grateful for their new found fortune they work hard at finding ways to make their money count for the good of others. They start foundations that pay tuition for students to go to higher education. They begin or fund charities. They donate to expand hospitals.\n\nSo, there are two sides of the coin and the deciding factor is the character of the individual....

When my circumstances and needs prevent me from excelling to my full potential--- such as: being poor,black and from a single parent home (my circumstances) lessen my chances of success --- this is determined by a majority of people who study social trends. I never knew I was at risk until the schools said I was --- they failed to factor in my own drive and potential.

Education is a component of socioeconomic status (SES), which in turn is a large predictor of health behavior choices.  \n\nSome models posit that the stress associated with low SES leads to behaviors to reduce that stress: namely, smoking, drinking, and overeating.  Thus, the poor are doubly cursed: they have few resources, and they engage in behaviors that lead to poorer health.\n\nOther observers believe that low SES has a direct impact on health (the so-called 'relative deprivation' theory).  \n\nMost health researchers believe that smoking cessation promotion, while worthwhile, is not likely to improve the health of the less well educated.  This is an aspect of the 'fundamental cause' theory that suggests that the poor will always be less healthy than the affluent, because the affluent will always be better able to translate resources into health.

a rich person can be a drug addict and it won't have any detrimental effect economically. a similar addiction in a poorer person can have a devistating effect on him/her and family
