This week I was especially focused on the aspect of social class and families.  We talked a lot about of the upper class values money and structure and seems so fancy and perfect, while lower class is poor and has no values.  I personally think that class isn’t all about wealth and money.  The world views success as wealth.  I think that it’s about the way you present yourself with what you have.  I also believe that it has a lot to do with your actions especially towards others.  I think that you can have an upper class attitude and technically belong to the lower class due to financial situations.  I also believe in the opposite.  You can be upper class because of your money, but be considered lower class because of your way of life.  So what does this have to do with families?  Well the purpose of families are to bring to pass Heavenly Fathers plan to become like him.  Married couples bring children into the world to provide structure and support for their children.  How they interact with their family is the way they will interact in the world when they are out of the house. Families offer love and support, influence values, and provide finances.  I think that it is important to keep a balance between your social class and family life.  Usually people in the middle class have better family relationships because when you are at the two ends of the spectrum it is easier to not focus on the importance of your family.  If you are upper class you probably focus on money.  If you are lower class you are most likely focusing on working to sustain yourself.  There is a constant struggle between rich and poor.  Anyone can strive to be better.  You can also have a successful family no matter what social class you belong to.
