Social Monopoly Class

Playing Monopoly in class would be a tad boring, the idea of purchasing properties and witnessing others misfortune as they pay you. But, Sal always has a twist to everything. We all had different amounts of money and income to represent different social classes in the United States. This created a way for us middle class Stevenson goers to understand how it feels to have a limited amount of money. Whilst playing the game, the people on the high ends of the spectrum the wealthy and upper middle class were more willy-nilly with their money. While the lower classes were more causes and couldn't really splurge on certain properties.

On the tops of the ladder, normal everyday expenses seem small and like they aren't a big deal. A trip to the doctor, health insurance, a meal, a movie, simple activities taken for granted. Those things are really expensive for those living on a fixed income. Sure they are trying the best they can to support their families, but going out to dinner isn't in their budget, nor is health insurance, or health care. To people on the bottom rung of the social class these are all set backs. There is more flexibility, budget wise and moving up in social class towards the middle and top of the ladder, but there aren't many options for those on the bottom. How can we change society to make it more equal, or fair for those living in such poor conditions?
