This week in class, we watched a film that talked about Social Class. This film really showed how people interact with one another based off of their social class. It showed how the lower class interact with one another and how the upper class interact with one another. It was sad seeing all of the differences between the two classes and that people within those classes do not associate themselves with the other class.

Going to SHS, we are not really exposed to many different social classes. There are a few people who have less money and there are few people that have a lot of money, but the majority of the population at the school is upper-middle class. It is easy to spot different social classes, however, at sporting events. For example, at a baseball game, you can see different classes by just looking up. In the "nose-bleed" seats, you can see lower class and in the sky boxes, you can see upper class.

Even the type of food that people eat is determined by social class. For example, upper class people tend to enjoy wheat bread over white bread and lower class is the opposite. If only people were not as worried about social class and money and were more worried about spending time with one another.
Can't we be concerned with both spending time with one another and money?
ReplyDeleteBut anyways, it's amusing how people try to blur the class lines but in many places, such as the baseball game that you mentioned, it's blatantly obvious that there are major differences between classes.
