Getting Rich the Ninja Way

From rags to riches. Okay, so I struggled with myself, wondering who I could write about. After some intense... thinking (or Google-searching and picking the first link), I found Steven Spielberg. 
Yes, the film director!
 In my opinion, Spielberg is a total ninja. You'll understand after I explain his story.
 He was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, brought into his world by his mother Leah Adler and Arnold Spielberg. He saw his first film in Haddon Township, New Jersey. Eventually, Spielberg made his own amateur films with his friends. The films were shot at a restaurant, and the admission was only 25 cents.
  Unfortunately (or fortunately?), Spielberg didn't make the cut for filmaking school. Instead, he went to the California State College in Long Beach. 
 Luckily for him, during one casual visit to the Universal Studios, Spielberg met with Shuck Silvers. Silvers was an executive in the editorial department, who liked Spielberg enough to invite him back sometime. 
 Spielberg came back the very next day, without a previous appointment (officially). He wore a dark suit and carried a suitcase to look professional, while the suitcase only had sandwiches and candy. However, with his confident walk, he was able to get in without the security guard asking who he was. 
 (See? How ninja is that? Sandwiches and candy... that's the only reason why I chose to write about him.)
Spielberg continued to show up for the entire summer, becoming friends with all of the directors and writers, learning from them. He found an abandoned office within the place, and made it his own, even putting his name in the building directory. Steven Spielberg, Room 23C.
  After 10 years, Spielberg directed Jaws. The movie was a huge hit, becoming the highest-grossing movie of all time (back then). Then, he made more movies and became even richer. The end!

Social Stratification

Stratification is defined as the "act or process or arranging of persons into classes or social strata" by dictionary definition. Stratification is actually a pretty wide concept. Thus, we break it up into different elements, including: inequality. Yeah, you hear inequality talk everywhere but... you're gonna hear it again.
  Inequality is the act of people being better placed in society over others, and signals which group these people belong to. You'll find that people in the same group often share similar characteristics (culture, interests, life chances).
  The first division is class. The UK's statistics show that the higher a class one is born into, the higher chances they have of surviving in their first year of birth, perform in school, live longer, and retain their natural teeth (woah, weird). The more wealth one has, the more they can afford. They can afford better schooling, health care, etc.
   The next division is gender. Gender's only recently considered a part of stratification, but it's been an issue for quite a long time. Despite there being more women than men within the US, they still have generally a less successful life and less power than the men. Also, they tend to earn less than men, and are outnumbered in important positions.
  Ethnicity is another dimension of stratification. There are obvious differences in the economic and social standing between ethnic groups. Prejudice is still quite strong today, and many people do not get the positions they deserve or the same exact chances due to their ethnicity.
   Age is the final one (at least that I'll bring up). The youngest and the oldest hold the least power within our society (though in other parts of the world, the elderly are well respected). No matter your age, there is someone who considers your wisdom not wisdom-y enough because you're either too young or too old. Certain buildings and organizations do not allow children, as well (as another example of the age factor).
 That's really all I have to say. Social divisions may suck, but I don't really see how there's any other way.
