The System


Today's system it is set up to keep people in the same social class in which they are born into. It is difficult if not impossible to move up the social ladder. Kahn also believes that the system is trained to destroy the environment. "A threat to either the organism or its environment is a movement towards the ecology of death: the life process requires both and any process that so binds the one or the other so as to threaten “both” is in some sense courting death and moving away from the love of life" (Kahn). In order to fix this system there would have to be an equality throughout all schools. There could not be any different levels in schooling or special treatments for any students in anyway. Simply, there is really no true way to eliminate differences in social class. People who are wealthier will always be able to pay for their children to go to the better schools and those who aren't will go to the ones that are provided for everyone. There will always be different social classes and one will always begin where they are born into. In order to get into a higher social class someone will have to work twice as hard as someone who was born into that higher class. That is how it is and always has been. Something like this is not easily changed.
