Since young, we're made to believe that the rich are bad, stingy, evil etc and there's nothing wrong being poor, being pitiful. And perhaps that is why we r programmed to be poor, cos we dun wan to be what we dun like.

For example in the story of Robin hood, who rob the rich and give it to the poor. The story portrays the rich as evil and the poor are the good guys. Robbin Hood is a hero in the story, but however, in today's context, Robin Hood is nothing but a robber.

In Cinderella- Cinderella is a poor girl who is constantly bullied by her step mother and step sisters. It portrays the impression that all stepmothers and stepsisters r evil. And also portrays that we must be as pitiful as possible, so that one day fairy godmother will appear and u'll meet ur prince charming.

Even in shows, generally, the one who help the poor is the hero. The one that help to rich is the bad guy.
