Unlike other places around the world, it is actually getting more difficult to move across class boundaries in the England I think this is at the root of some of the most serious social problems today in England.
Take for instance the ASBO. Just imagine you are 17, white, living on a council estate. You know what the researchers already know, you will have less than a 1% chance of improving your lot in life. It’s no wonder you might increasingly choose to be anti-social.
The research just in from some folks in Sheffield. A breakdown of the atlas is found here.
Without easy movement across socio-economic boundaries, a state in turmoil is inevitable. How about creating a social enterprise that acts as a drill to penetrate and connect these layers of society. A virtual slurry for integration of disparate layers.
That’s we are on to at Shine in Harehills and the Catalysts in Leeds and the Grids in Bradford. Opportunity, Support, Expansion of Options.
Think about it. Give everyone a chance and you can’t help but improve society.
