【总结】
I interviewed 50 parents with children of different economic backgrounds.They have their own problems. First of all, they worry about the inequity between people. Second, they are bound by moral codes and social standards Third, people in the financial industry are worried about money though they are rich. Most of the people I interviewed had the right values, and they criticized the values that other rich people flaunt and work hard to consume rationally.At the same time,they want their children to be good and accept good education.The ambivalence of the rich acknowledging privilege suggests that the central tension of the American dream is very strong.As for egalitarianism, it is very difficult for the rich as individuals to make any changes,They can only try to be normal. these wealthy people deflect the stigma of wealth.For ordinary people, we should not discuss individual morality but the morality of particular social arrangements.Through correct social morality, promote social development.
