week 16

playing monopoly this week was a really good way to get across the point that people really don't move up in social classes, while sometimes they can move down. i was the upper upper class, and the game was boring for me i started with about 4000 and all the railroads and last 2 places i more than doubled my total wealth by the end of the game, for the upper class i think the game was more average they made some wealth but not enough to make it to my position, middle class ended up making about the same amount of wealth that they came into the game with, lower middle class went on welfare b/c he kept landing on my spots, and working poor was in jail for 3/4 of the game. i think the main part of monopoly that showed the class diference was the jail, i was able to use a get out of jail free card while other people like the working poor never where able to leave b/c it was nearly impossibul to get out. i really seams like playing through this game people kept their positions they started out with and the rich got richer, much like the world we live in.
