1. What does the documentary say
about the possibilities of social climbing in the US today?
The
opportunities to climb in the social groups are not as good as they have been
in the past, because the rich people are controlling the society with their
money.
2. How does professor Paul Piff
explain his comparison of American society to a fixed game of Monopoly?
What he is trying to explain is that there is always a
loser in the game, in this case the loser is the poor people and the greedy
winner is the rich people.
but there is a way to prevent that the poor people always would lose and it would be to give them a head start and not only give them half of what they deserve and not only let them play with one dice but two like the rich people

3. Compare the points in the
documentary to Our America and Adam.
Adam could
easily end up as one of the rich people in this documentary, because he wants
to get richer and have success, and he really don’t care about the poor people,
only that they should not cost the society(himself) a lot of money. The poor
people or the lower class in the US could be the African American people in
“Our America” they are fighting to get enough money to keep their house, car
and so on, even to have a job.
