This quote has many different and deeper meanings about class in our society. This quote is saying that, a person could have good character and could have great intentions, but we might not think so highly of him because of what his life might be like. Shaw is trying to show how People in our society are quickly to judge and character sometimes doesnt matter to them. All that matters is the income a person is making and the way they choose to live their life. before the movie that we watched in class I didnt really understand the differences in class as well as I do now. The lower class is so far away from the upper class that a lower class person couldnt even pretend to be of upper class importance. Middle class on the other hand, has such a large range, that it might not be that far away from upper class. The example of work that is considered virtue in one class and vise in another is to compare the idea of an aggressive real estate developer with an
aggressive sanitation worker. Both are in business, but their qualities may be
judged differently. In one class a real estate developer is a job that someone had to work hard for and appreciates because they are making a steady income from it. On the other hand, in a different class a sanitation worker is something that is also valued because its the best that they can get. Sometimes people are happy with their low income jobs because it is better then nothing.
