People are always complaining about chavs, and how the new underclass (as opposed to the working class of years gone past), are doing this, that and the other.
\nThere’s a few things we should all consider before judging:<\/p>\n
– If I was brought up in the same area, with the same parents, with the same lack of opportunities, amongst the same friends, in the same school, I would probably have turned out exactly the same. People aren’t inherently bad, they’re not born to be on the dole; they’re shaped by their surroundings.
\n– If you shove programmes like TOWIE and Made in Chelsea down people’s throats, and have marketing messages, tell us we need the latest phone, clothes and trainers to be cool. People are going to desire material wealth and possessions. Next take away people’s opportunities to better themselves through education by making it 8k a year to go to university, and what do you get? \u00a0Angry, disillusioned people, who may or may not break the law and steal to get the things they’re told they need.
\nIf you see untalented people, who don’t appear to work particularly hard – like those on TOWIE; having more money and more ‘things’ than sense; it’s only natural that you’ll desire the same. When you’re not able to get the same wealth for minimal effort, you either give up, or get angry:<\/p>\n
