I share the discoveries I made and the emotions I felt when I arrived in Paris and met bourgeois people. I was first very struck by the luxurious housing, then little by little by details of consumption, lifestyle, relationship to money, relationship to culture, care given to the network, etc. The objective here is not to claim to be scientific: I did not seek to define the bourgeoisie, I deliberately did not distinguish the sub-environments encountered, etc. It is rather a question of touching on the subjects through experience, as I did at the time: without an analytical grid. I will subsequently offer videos that summarize sociology works on this theme. I also specify that I do not address the question of my own evolution in this video. Now this is a big topic: how, as a transclass, we absorb (voluntarily or not) the habits and codes of the new environment we are integrating. It is a complex and delicate subject, which I prefer to keep for an ad hoc video.
