I think his opinion is based on the fact that such mobility isn’t common and most people remain on the level of their families and ancestors. The documentary confirms this by doing a follow-up with the Crabtree family in 2013. Tammy and her sons continued living in the similar poor conditions. While there was a change to their material culture, the overall status remained as poverty. In my opinion, opportunities in the United Stated make it possible for anyone to advance their social class by setting successful goals and trying one’s best to reach them. It’s easy to sit back, relax and take it easy, but to me, hard work and dedication make social mobility
