Social status or Mental status

Many people believe that the world revolves around money. If you are a wall street usual or a financial advisor, then I can see how that may seem true. However, I need to remind you the world revolves around an unseen axis that is relatively close to the North pole and South pole, end to end. With that reality check for the upper class comes my reality check for the lower class. Even though your wallet doesn't cost more than the amount of money in it, the world still revolves around a scientific axis. This is good news though, you see. This puts the lower class on the same dimensional playing field as everyone else. As for me, I grew up watching prosperity unfold from hard work, positive attitude and love. As cheesy as it sounds, it is the truth. My family got to where they are today because of each of those factors. As for my perception and impact of the world around me, I tend to be an optimistic realist. I see things as they are but place them side by side to what they can become with a positive mentality. After living in towns close to triple the national poverty level and pulling through to the city receiving the smallest blow from the most recent US recession, I can honestly say I am only allowed a realistic view on life because I can't remove the memories to create visual masks. All in all, my varying position in the world, geographically and financially, allow my perception of culture, identity and society to vary as well. My view of a society is that of a unit. They realize problems as a whole and solve them as a whole. As for identity on a microscopic level, I believe identity is influenced by the people around us on a daily basis. A person of true individualistic character is one that can take each of these influences, sort them out, find a moral stand point on how to use the experiences they have lived through and create a person that no one else can mentally become. Finally, I view culture as a comfort. Culture derives primarily from tradition and tradition is nothing more than an extra, sentimental sticker placed on a comfortable action to explain its place in an area.
