Why we are biased against the rich second generation?
我们为何对富二代存在偏见？
When comes to the rich second generation, numerous adjective words flood into our mind, such as wealthy, arrogant, pompous, spoiled, sybaritic, lavish, immature, irresponsible and so on. Apparently almost all the words are negative, which can easily reflect our dislike against them. But why we think of them who are just average people as we are except their richness as such a kind of unpopular men（exclude the thoughts of some girls who desperately want to marry a rich princeling for easier life）?
It's widely known that China's gap between the poor and the rich has been broadening as rapidly as the economic development during these years and this tangible fact is due to sharpen our social conflicts. When a worker who can hardly afford a small flat after 20 years of toil sees a young man without a job live in a superb villa given by his wealthy parents, he must feel psychologically unbalanced and think it's totally unfair. And naturally he will become angry and will hate rich people like the young man out of the very unbalance. Now most our Chinese have the same feelings as the worker, that is to say, there is a hatred for wealth people in China. That's one of the significant reasons why we are biased against the rich second generation.
Actually, the rich second generation do have some undesirable qualities which their parents partially give rise to. Those young people are often said that they were born with a gold spoon in their mouth, which means that they can enjoy the highest material life without hard work and they can easily get whatever they want. Thus, it's really hard for them to avoid being spoiled by their parents and they become arrogant as they grow up. So it's no wonder that they're keen on purchasing various luxuries and even showing them off on the Internet. However, it's this display of wealth that makes them more unpopular.
Last but not least, the Internet and the media are also to blame for widely spreading the inappropriate deeds of the rich second generation to make the rich
second generation become sensitive words in people's mind. They're always focusing too much on their daily life especially on their mistakes, then what we usually hear of is all about how a rich second generation recklessly hit someone with his brand car and rudely refused to apologize. We have been inadvertently implanted the idea that the rich second generation are evil-doers. Despite the fact that only a small part of them disturb the social order, we think subconsciously that they represent the whole rich second generation.
All of the above are the three main reasons why we are biased against the rich second generation in my opinion. Anyway, what we're supposed to do is not to judge all the rich second generation only by one-sided and negative media coverage and to take a more objective view towards them. In this light, our social contradictions will be released and we will live a more stable life.。
