Social Class

One of the things we covered this week that stood out to me was Social Class.  It was interesting to see the sad correlation between social class and the way people saw themselves.  Social class seems to be the key to feeling entitled or feeling worthless.  I didn't catch which general authority's talk Brother Williams showed us but I really enjoyed the message that was portrayed through it: It doesn't matter what you look like or how wealthy you are-we are all on this earth ot be tested.  Those poor-have a lack of self esteem-whereas the wealthy have a sense of pride.  Both of these are unfortunate spiritual diseases.  Who is to say which one is more favored? 

This ties into the second topic that stood out was culture and families.  I've always thought the differences between cultures and how families interact with each other.  I think that's one of the most beautiful things about this world- the different cultures.  I really liked looking into the actual meaning of culture. There is so much encompassed in the word.  Beliefs and values, the norms, customs, traditions and behaviors.  All of those things make a family what they are! What a beautiful thing to have so many different families and cultured represented in our world.
