Richard Rorty and Globalization, the poetics of identity and social hope

I also disagree with Rorty’s standardization of behavior for the poor or the rich. I don’t think it is fair to say that a certain class have behaved a certain way to get where they are. It is probably a combination of things like family connections, luck, in some cases hard work and I am sure some are where they are because of greed. To me saying the two go hand in hand is like saying that I have blonde hair because I speak English. It just doesn’t go hand in hand. Take for example family connections. Many people are born into money and haven’t done anything wrong to be in the social class that they are. Say Rorty is right about that family and they robed and cheated someone to be rich. The child will see this behavior but they don’t have to model it. Everyone gets to make a decision for themselves how they will behave. I almost see his statement as a form of discrimination. I may be misinterpreting his meaning, but I am pretty sure this is what he has said. Members of this blog have also commented on his opinion and I feel that they have the same feelings.
