Social Classes

Tonight in class we discussed social class and cultural diversity. Our society has defined three social classes: upper, middle, and lower. We expressed that classes are defined by how much money an individual has, or seems to have, their possessions, appearance and actions, education, employment, and associations. Our culture is defined as a way of life or our traditions and a similar set of values and principles related within a certain group. We all seem to fall somewhere between the three classes and I think it's important to understand that one is not better or more superior than another. It may seem this way, but working hard and understanding the importance and value of money is crucial in every class because it impacts not only our individual lives, but our current and future families, and our society as a whole.
