Social class has an outsized yet insidious impact on organizational life. Studies have shown, for example, that candidates with resumés that contain cues of an upper social class background have significant advantages when applying for entry-level and management positions.

Michelle Lee, an assistant professor of strategy and organization at Smith School of Business, Queen’s University, reviews what the research says about the impact of social class on organizations. She offers insights on what organizations can do to improve their recruitment practices, in particular avoiding network-based hiring. Organizations can also break down social class barriers by instituting formal mentorship programs.

Prof. Lee says the benefits of hiring candidates from lower-class backgrounds is that these candidates tend to be more focused on others and value community and teamwork. CEOs from lower social backgrounds have also been shown to be more entrepreneurial and willing to engage in social responsibility initiatives.

The world’s largest survey on sexual health has just established that around 20% of men between 15-89 years old watch more porn than they want to. Most of us, to some degree, repeat some behaviors that we know are harmful to ourselves – but why do some people let their lives be ruined by addiction? In this talk from TEDxAarhus, 2019, Casper Schmidt shares how the brain changes when watching porn becomes an addiction.
The idea for his work within the field of addiction originated from his interest in neuroscience, as well as a TED talk a few years back. Casper’s fascination with the brain fuelled his studies on this topic, which has led to remarkable results. Based on his neuroscientific research, Casper Schmidt established some of the earliest neurobiological markers of porn addiction – which in June 2018 helped lead to its inclusion in the World Health Organization’s list of diseases, opening new doors for treatment of this group of individuals.
Casper has a background as a PhD in clinical neuroscience and is a psychologist – he now works as an Assistant Professor in Clinical Psychology at Aalborg University.

In America, the concept of social class deviates starkly from the centuries — or even millennia-long genetic lineages of European aristocracy.

There are no familial hierarchies dictated by the grandeur of ancestral castles here, no echoes of monarchs or tribal chiefs.

Instead, the United States, this colossal experiment in meritocracy, has fashioned its own version of the social pecking order.

Born Poor, Stay Poor: The Silent Caste System of America

Watch the newest video from Big Think: https://bigth.ink/NewVideo
Join Big Think Edge for exclusive videos: https://bigth.ink/Edge
———————————————————————————-
There’s a lot missing from debates and policy surrounding poverty but the biggest deficit, according to Dr C. Nicole Mason, is in honesty. Impoverished people aren’t poor because they’re lazy, they’re poor because social mobility is institutionally suppressed.Dr C. Nicole Mason was born in Los Angeles, raised by a beautiful but volatile 16-year-old single mother. Early on, she learned to navigate between an unpredictable home life and school where she excelled. Having figured out the college application process by eavesdropping on the few white kids in her predominantly Black and Latino school, and along with the help of a high school counselor, Mason eventually boarded a plane for Howard University, alone and with 0 in her pocket.

Mason found a path out of poverty – something that only 4% of America’s impoverished population are able to do. An alarming majority will never rise into the middle class, and so it seems that in the US, if you’re born poor, you stay poor. And no one is being very honest about this invisible caste system.

Mason is a vocal advocate against the presumption that the poor are poor simply because they don’t help themselves enough. “[In college] we heard a lot of things about welfare queens, people living off the system, not wanting to work, women being lazy, having multiple children. And that really wasn’t the reality for the women who were actually impoverished.” Mason found that the policies were detached from reality, and in fact the barriers built into the system (some intended to motivate people) – such as time limits, additional child penalties, and few provisions for childcare – were ineffective and suppressed social mobility. “What was excluded from that policy was a clear pathway out of poverty, like education,” she says.

When people think of poverty they think in terms of money and material resources, but a large part of being poor is suffering from a lack of social connections and networks, and living in a low-income area with no infrastructure that enables the leap up to the middle class.

If institutions and leaders want to support and elevate poor communities, Mason argues that they need to provide better infrastructure (like libraries, parks, good grocery stores, and hospitals) as well as bridging programs both within the community and, very importantly, outside of it, so people can get in contact with people outside of their normal social network. “We just need to be honest about what it really takes for everybody to have a fair shot at the American Dream,” she says.
