It’s true; social status has certain advantages. Because a person has more than others, he or she may regularly experience preferential treatment in the world. An influential politician enters a restaurant and is immediately recognized and escorted to the best seat in the house. A wealthy attorney is given tickets to box seats at the home-field on the fifty years line. The successful businesswoman is given privileged information concerning a property deal that will bring her much profit when she resales. Unfortunately, there is a flip side to this treatment. The humble factory worker is told to sit in the corner of the restaurant, or worse, is turned away with nothing but a flimsy excuse for his stomach. The weathered farmer must pay top dollar for legal services from an attorney. And the single mom can’t get a realtor to call her back because her housing budget is too meager to bring any profit.
