Wanted to offer an excerpt of a paper for a final thesis for my courses.
It came to the conclusion that those in power had a much higher rate for narcissistic behavior and a lack of interpersonal skills, resulting in high rates of anger and entitlement. Where those in subjective roles, either directly under those in power of [Be it under Monarchical rule or Democratic rule; with the slight exception for socialistic democratic systems, or those further down under 'the ones in charge' showed higher rates of outward emotional displays of compassion and desire to aide their fellow men, but sadly increased rates of depression and mental trauma by way of excessive work to simply survive.
A further study showed that those in subjective roles did not wish to become in power over anyone but their own life, displaying feelings of not belonging to themselves; rather belonging to the state or those seemingly above them. That there was a strong lack in promising support for the dominating class after only 3 years in strict ruling. Those in dominating roles were quickly turned to more self absorbed matters within the first three months of ruling, choices displaying not for the benefit of others, but the sole benefit of themselves or those in close relation to them.
A study of class systems done in the late '10s deemed those who began in lower class systems and rose to power, held slightly less of the same behaviors as those born into privilege, while still displaying rulings that benefited only their own personal beliefs. A recent study analyzed that many of the lower class wished to be in direct contact with those the law makers and government runners, but were fearful for simply making their decisions more self absorbed. Again, displaying submissive behaviors and lowered self-esteem and ambition.
It's not the entire paper, but I still have a ways to work on it, and proofread. Oh the joys of university.
