In the reading and in class we discuss the various levels of class and equalities. From the video and class we see class formed from various forms of race, culture, age and where one stems from. Class has many stages from the lower class , middle class and upper class.
Lower class are the social status of those who live more of a check to check life or poorer.
middle class more social and economically living decent tend to be more of the blue collar wokers and make reasonable income.
Upper class the wealthy people of a society the ones with more most of the power as far as dominat culture and political pull.
Growing up i lived more of middle class live my grandparents were immigrants who had a good amount of income owned businesses and lived a large family house with a pool and multiple jobs"What many call the american dreasm". But when my mother decided to move to New york because we were in the south i felt we become more of the lower class leaning towards working or middle. Because we worked and struggle to pay bills even though they were always payed we didn't take many vactions so it was work and school all the time.
The class system within our society i feel is kind of been set up to benefit a certain people or group more than others. For example whites dominanted the upper class and middle class status for a long time it wasn't until recently more into the late 20th century were minorities began to experience some social and economic advantages. Whites still hold the advantage because of better educational, health and evirnamental chances. Mean while for blacks and latinos the main group of minorities in this country its still a daily struggle for social and economic advantages.
