There's a version of class that has nothing to do with education or wealth - it belongs to people who grew up with very little but treat everyone like they matter, from the CEO to the person cleaning the bathroom - Silicon Canals

"A series of studies by Paul Piff and Dacher Keltner at UC Berkeley found that people from lower socioeconomic backgrounds were consistently more generous, more charitable, more trusting, and more helpful than their wealthier counterparts."

"The researchers found that people who grew up with less acted more prosocially because they held stronger egalitarian values and felt deeper compassion for others."

"Research by Michael Kraus, Stéphane Côté, and Dacher Keltner found that people from lower social classes were significantly better at reading other people's emotions."

Individuals from lower socioeconomic backgrounds tend to treat everyone with respect, regardless of their status. Research indicates that these individuals are more generous, charitable, and trusting than wealthier people. This behavior stems from stronger egalitarian values and deeper compassion, not from guilt or obligation. Additionally, those who have faced struggles are better at reading emotions, which enhances their ability to connect with others and understand their needs.
