Chapter 188: A Classy Society

“Japan is not a class society, but a gekkei society. Gridlock society refers to the formation of a strict class division between the people in society, and the gap in economic, educational, and social status between different classes is very large.

It is also a phenomenon in which class areas are fixed and immobile, and it is extremely difficult to change one’s social status. After the 1980s, along with the liberalization and globalization of the world economy, the gap between the rich and the poor has widened in most of the countries in the world, and the social atmosphere has become unstable.

In addition to the gap between each individual, the grubby society also includes the gap between various regions.” Masayoshi Kishimoto is not at all credulous.

The term “ghetto society” is of Japanese origin, and was one of the top 10 words in the 2006 “New Words? It was one of the top 10 words in the 2006 “New Words?

Although the current is still in 1999, but does not affect a what. The reason why he knew it was all from his previous life.

The term was coined by Masahiro Yamada, a professor at Tokyo Gakugei University in Japan. Prof. Yamada is a well-known sociologist in Japan, specializing in the sociology of the family, the sociology of adolescence and the sociology of class, and he has also proposed the phenomenon of “single parasites”.

In Japanese, the word “g” means “rank” or “class” (which was also used in ancient Chinese, but has been lost in modern times). “The “gekkei society” divided Japan into two classes, the “war group” and the “defeated group.

The “War Group” refers to the “Roppongi people” who work in Tokyo and are “hopeful and competitive winners” in a capitalist society that emphasizes free competition;

The losers, on the other hand, were young people who worked part-time jobs and lacked family support, education, and professional skills. Not only were their incomes vastly different from those of the winners, but the difference in competitiveness caused by their lack of knowledge and education became more and more significant as they grew older.

It was the first time Rie Sakai had heard the term “Gap Society” and his explanation. She was stunned.

Without saying a word, she held a red wine glass in her left hand, and her right index finger was pressed against the rim of the glass, making a clockwise rotating motion in a circle.

“Among modern societies, the grunge society is not the most terrifying social structure. The most frightening social structure is the class social structure that is still maintained in a number of countries.

That is to say, human society, due to the emergence of surplus products, has gradually put an end to the primitive social form of co-production and equal distribution, giving rise to the relationship between the dominant and the dominated.

In a privileged class society, there exists a privileged class that is economically and politically dominant, and the class relationship between the privileged and the ruled is relatively stable, closed and immobile.

The governed are unable to move upwards. They either resort to indulgence in religion or revolt against the rule of the privileged class. The resistance of the ruled often touches or even subverts the social structure and thus has radical attributes.

In such privileged class societies, social revolutions are the means of social class mobility. In a class society, a person’s origin can completely determine a person’s future. Hereditary succession becomes inevitable in the social structure.

As a little story goes, the grandson of a CEO asked his grandfather if he could be a CEO in the future, and the CEO smiled and said, “Of course.

The grandson then asked if he could be the chairman of the board of directors, and the CEO smiled and said, “No. Because the chairman of the board of directors has his own grandson. Because the chairman has his own grandson.” Masayoshi Kishimoto told her know-it-all and said.

“After hearing you say that, I feel like my future is bleak and lost.” Rie Sakai sighed deeply.

Masayoshi Kishimoto suddenly became playful and said, “How could that be? Don’t we still have that marriage contract between us?”

Sakai Rie stopped moving her hands, tilted her head back and drank all the remaining red wine in the glass into her stomach and said, “According to you, if I leave you, I won’t be able to live?”

“It’s not true that you won’t be able to live. You won’t be able to enjoy everything you have now, as well as a better dream life in the future.

In the future, not only will you have a big house to live in, but you will also have a private yacht, a private airplane, and all kinds of super sports cars, so it can be said that you will have everything by land, sea, and air.

Of course, if you’re willing, you can also take a rocket and fly to space, stroll around the earth a few times, and then return to the ground.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said without joking.

Sakai Rie bowed towards the front, placing the empty cup in her hand on top of the glass coffee table before she threw her body weight back and leaned directly against the back of the long sofa.

It wasn’t as if she didn’t have a number in her heart. In the past, she hadn’t tasted the goodness of the upper class, so she wouldn’t have the most intuitive feeling, and didn’t really think it would be good in any way.

Nowadays, she actually enjoyed it all, and naturally understood that its benefits were just like a drug addiction, and it was difficult to quit the addictive nature.

Even if you quit physically, you will fall into a permanent dependence on a spiritual level. At this time, of course, she didn’t know that next year, at the turn of the century in the year 2000, there would be a classic Japanese drama by Nanako Matsushima called “Yamato Kimura” that would be staged.

It was also remade in South Korea, with Kim Hee-sun as the female lead in My Fair Lady.

In “Yamato Gold Digger”, Nanako Matsushima plays the role of Sakurako Kanno, a poor stewardess who wants to marry into a wealthy family at all costs and sees the marriage as a business deal.

When she falls in love with a rich young man and proposes to him, she can’t make up her mind even though she’s about to succeed in everything she’s planning, but she meets the man who was forced to marry her by her physician friends at a sorority meeting by mistake.

She saw the gold badge on the top of his jacket that only members of the Pony Club were worthy of having. It represented his annual income of no less than 50 million yen and a net worth of at least a billion yen.

The reason for her obsession is that she met one of these old, single men before, and couldn’t get over the fact that he died in the middle of the movie. The Korean version is the heroine’s obsession with a private yacht. It’s the usual idol drama trope, but one of the good things about it is that it responds to the female heart.

Sakurako Kanno, in one of the classic lines inside Yamato Gold Worshippers, asks her fellow stewardesses, a man who looks like a fat pig but has money, while the other is a handsome man with no money, do you think a woman who marries one of them will be happier in the future?

She doesn’t spend enough of her monthly salary to be able to climb into the upper class and maxes out her various credit cards, and would rather eat instant noodles at home than buy designer clothes and other things to dress up.

She knows that her most powerful weapon is her beauty. On top of that, she pretends that she lives in a high-class elevator apartment and concocts the idea that her parents are also people of a certain status in society.

What makes “The Great and the Goldbergs” a classic and not cerebral is the fact that it has a close-to-life authenticity to it. If you want to marry a rich man, then the woman herself must be from at least a middle-class family.

In the minds of the rich, the daughters of poor families are born with too many inherent deficiencies and shortcomings, which are caused and brought about by their families of origin.

The Cinderella Story is a fairy tale written for children, and even the author himself did not write that Cinderella was a poor girl. Cinderella herself was a golden girl with a successful businessman for a father, but instead was mistreated by her stepmother and sisters.
