social class
I do believe that everyone is treated differently because of their social class. As seen in the video we watched in class, higher social classes don't like to acknowledge people below them, only the ones just like them. To be honest I really don't understand why we do this, it's just a part of our culture. Whether you realize it or not, you judge people by their class. It would be like getting lost in the city and ending up in a really poor area. Most people would want to get out of there immediately becuase it's more dangerous and the people look "scarier" than they do in an area like we live in. People in our class, higher middle class, tend to want to try and move up into a higher ranking since they're almost there anyway, but that doesn't always work out. People who grow up middle class can end up living their life in poverty as an adult, or can end up very wealthy and successful, it all depends on what you do with your life. The one thing I wouldn't want is to be in a class that doesn't accept me for who I am just because I didn't grow up the same way that they did.
