Living In A Developed Country

Throughout this course, in my perspective, I have learned that young adults in the lower class are viewed differently depending on the country that they live in. Moreover, the way they spend their time in a developed country like Canada is differently than in a developing country such as Bangladesh. Secondly, while living in a developed country these individuals suffer a heavy workload for motivational reasons; whereas an individual in a developing country suffers for survival. Therefore, in my perspective, there seems to be a distinguishing border between what it is like to suffer in a developed country versus a developing country in terms of lower class.

To begin, I seek a heavy workload for motivational reasons. Moreover, as an individual living in a developed country, I believe in a socioeconomic status perspective in which mobility of classes is possible. Furthermore, with the amount of potential in this country, this motivates me to continue pushing in order to move on the continuum of class. According to the Martin (2012), earning a college degree represents a chance at “a better life” and an opportunity for “getting out” from under the socioeconomic hardship in which the lower class are raised (pg.63). Even though I endure a heavy workload, it’s with optimism to succeed in the future. Despite taking on the risk of university debt and not succeeding, I still stay motivated with an end goal in mind. Therefore, using a social economic status perspective, the hard work I put in now will benefit me in the future allowing me to succeed. As a result, using a socioeconomic status, living in a developed country where opportunity is always present the average citizen has a better chance at improving their lifestyles compared to an individual struggling in a lower country. Contrastingly, factory workers living in a developing country maintain heavy workloads for survival reasons. To compare, Seabrook (2014) demonstrates that individuals in Bangladesh did not seek factory work for a motivated reason (pg. 37). Furthermore, these individuals are not as rich as a developed country in their resources, such as university or social services. As a result, factory workers living in the lower class have restriction in their mobility of class. Seabrook (2014) states those who have succeeded in Dhaka are those who begin with an advantage of capital or land (pg. 118). Therefore, if not born into the upper class there is a rare chance of succeeding; factory workers can
