Overwhelm your audience with text

One of the criteria of social class is the wealth, property and income. Since then, materials things were used as a parameter of wealth and power. Because of money, people go places and manipulate things and other people. Wealth multiplies living choices, life chances and opportunities. Since wealth, property and income could do so many things which a person can’t imagine, it became the most tangible criteria on how to classify people. People with more wealth, property and income serve as the most powerful people. Thus, when a person can make things possible through wealth, they might earn prestige and power. This prestige and power given by owning most properties were passed from generation to generation that is why the wealth of other people is just circling around the family member.
