Caste System

I am writing a reflection about caste systems in general. To me, these caste systems are an unfair way to group different people in different ranks. Lets take the ancient Indian Caste system for example, if you are born as a fisherman, you will forever be a fisherman which to me shows that the kings only thought about their family ruling but not giving anyone else a chance. I think, it would make alot of difference if the system was not so strict. In China and in the southeast asia, the caste system is much more flexible as it allowed people to move from one rank to another, giving people the chance to try out new things and gain more experence in other things like from fishing to carpenting. All in all, the caste systeem is a reliable way to stay in power but if not closely monitered, rebellions would occur. :)
