The new upper class

Hi guys,

This week we are looking at an interesting article which defines and explores the "new upper class." http://time.chtah.com/a/hBPOUUWBASRffB7Wj6WNW56v9Fw/time76-63
Below are questions for discussion.

1. By the definition of the "new upper class", for what reasons do you think people in general resent this set of people? How about youself? Do you resent them also and why or why not?

2. Any public figures you think fit the profile of this new group? and why?

3. It mentioned in the article that the new upper class creates its own culture, segregating themselves from the mainstream culture. What does this new culture look like?

4. What are the upsides and downsides of this new class likely to influence the society as a whole?

5. Do you wish yourself or your children to join this new class? why or why not?
