In context, the phrase "On the other hand" (paragraph 4,sentence 3) tells those ordinary people also have some expectations and ideas about their life.
Step-by-step explanation:
- In this phrase, the author tells that even those ordinary people will have expectations about some things in their life. But he is telling they will not exceed their level of expectations. They will live within the level of their expectations.
- So the author is rejecting that point in the phrase. They will not expect at a higher level.
