Although all four dimensions have profound impacts on the self, in my experiences socioeconomic class has been the dominant factor. None of us have a choice in any of these areas at birth, economic status is the one area that as we grow into adults we have some control of. We cannot conrtrol our race or who we are atracted to; we can change our gender physically, but only if you have the right amount of money. There are poor and rich people in every walk of life. I agree with the aruments that race and gender cannot be hidden, but thats my point. We can hide our socioeconomic class; some people are better than others at it, but usually that consists of people trying to life a champagne life on a beer budget, resulting in more debt. I believe economic status is dominant in our self because our choices directly affect it. It has never been easy to move up in class (down is easier) but it is possible; if you make the right decisions.
Nothing is Ever Easy
