Features: With the development of human society, disparities in wealth, social classes, and strata have emerged. These social factors have widened the distance between people. The distance caused by human social nature is easily subject to change. A person is born into a certain class or stratum—either the wealthy or the impoverished—and this condition can change, either due to social transformation or through individual effort. The author of this book strongly dislikes the arrogance that arises from differences in birth status and social standing caused by social factors.
