Hidden Rules Among Class

Today I saw an image on the internet that really resonated:

After a little research I discovered it is from A Framework for Understanding Poverty by Dr Ruby Payne.

I intend to add to the graph below which I’ve made HTML, links so that we can research each of these in more depth:

	Poverty	Middle Class	Wealthy
Money	To be spent	To be managed	To be invested
Personality	Sense of humour	Achievement	Connections
Social Emphasis	Inclusion	Self-sufficiency	Exclusion
Food	Quantity	Quality	Presentation
Time	In the moment	Against future	Tradition
Education	Abstract	Success and Money	Maintaining connections
Language	Casual Register	Formal – negotiation	Formal – networking
Family structure	Matriarchal	Patriarchal	Who has money
Driving Forces	Relationships	Achievement	Financial, social
Destiny	Fate, can’t	Choice	Expectations
