Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I think you can find overlapping similarities, but overall i think that ones environment has a large influence over the way they see/perceive life.

I think education and life experience adjust our perception. To this extent, our social class has a HUGE influence over our education. As a middle class citizen, my class is most likely to have the highest education (despite what many will believe would be the upper class).
The upper class would be the most privileged and would have an entirely different perspective in regards to life then even the most well to do middle class citizen because they are numb to harsh realities. They don't see the differences, necessarily, because they are blinded by their consumption of "things."
The lower class are used to harsh realities but are perhaps numb to the idea of how harsh their reality is... or perhaps are so used to it, they find no hope in trying... therefore being a polar opposite to the higher class in circumstances, but similar in thinking pattern.

The middle class are more adept to understanding either side because their are more possibilities of having both aspects of life influence their thinking... so they can be part of any philosophy...
In the end, we are all a product of our life experience.
