Economic Crisis

Today somehow the topic of 'economic crisis' came up during the lunch hour in my office.Topics like how so many peoples have lost their jobs,so many peoples are committing suicides, salaries have been cut to half, people are heading back home, recruitment have slowed down etc etc etc.
Every one had their own point of views and a story of their relative or friend or an acquaintance who had suffered badly due to the crisis.There was a kind of sorrowful atmosphere.
As I'm not very good with these thing so I kept quite.
Back home I started analyzing, I looked around and hardly found anyone who has suffered for bread and butter due to recession!!! May be, I have a small social circle or may be, Bhubaneswar is a small place or may be the reason is that I belong to the Middle class society.............
then a question arises which section of the society is really affected and how & why???
To understand properly I went by the division of the society as Upper class, middle class and lower class even though there are many sub divisions but for now lets go with the major ones. Which section is affected more, how and why.Lets start with,
Lower class, people who sleep empty stomach or half filled stomach, with or without basic needs, compromising with life for everything might be food or roof or anything.They either die out of hunger or diseases. As such price of everything is rising every day do you think they are really affected by economic crisis?
Middle class,people with basic needs trying, hard for a better future to cope up with the race with the upper class, this section try to maintain status.
If at all this section is affected I think it is not with their basic need, some degree of compromise is imaginable but the actual challenge is with future savings, statue etc........
Upper class,this section is truly affected by economic crisis not with their needs but badly with status.They live such a materialistic life that a small compromise is unbearable.
On the second thought if at all I'm wrong......lets think that due to economic crisis they were forced to die out of...........hunger?illness?natural calamities?
