Well you're speaking about stereotypes and other nebulous crap. How about showing some data? There is lots of literature surrounding the correlation of IQ and socioeconomic status/income/etc. I suggest you look into it.
And by the way, regarding the stereotype in China that "people don't stay rich for more than 3 generations:" well, I think you're wrong. Again, there's been a lot of research into historical levels of social mobility and generally what we find is that these levels tend to stay very low, both throughout history and between cultures. Here's some relevant reading
Thanks!
I will look into finding a viable argument. The only concern is the activity log. You said you made it up? What is it anyway.
Also, sources. Do you have to find internet sources or sources by conducting interviews outside of school and those shenanigans?
Lastly, regarding the actual thing, I can write a dissertation pretty easily. I want to do something economics related. Perhaps about this?
The Son Also Rises by Gregory Clark
Wiki link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Son_Also_Rises_(book)
Publisher's Blurb: How much of our fate is tied to the status of our parents and grandparents? How much does it influence our children? More than we wish to believe. While it has been argued that rigid class structures have eroded in favor of greater social equality, The Son Also Rises proves that movement on the social ladder has changed little over eight centuries. Using a novel technique--tracking family names over generations to measure social mobility across countries and periods--renowned economic historian Gregory Clark reveals that mobility rates are lower than conventionally estimated, do not vary across societies, and are resistant to social policies.
Clark examines and compares surnames in such diverse cases as modern Sweden and Qing Dynasty China. He demonstrates how fate is determined by ancestry and that almost all societies have similarly low social mobility rates. Challenging popular assumptions about mobility and revealing the deeply entrenched force of inherited advantage, The Son Also Rises is sure to prompt intense debate for years to come.
There is the Son Also Rises which covers the subject.
The top review gave me a TLDR of the book
For me it was the book The Son Also Rises: Surnames and the History of Social Mobility where I first became acquainted with this.
