Class

I think that the movie in class about class was a little too particular. I think those who are super worried about what class they are in are those who pay attention to the details about who you date, what kind of bread you eat, and what kind of utensils you buy. There are many people, i think, who dont worry so much about that stuff. Around here everyone is pretty much the same class and we dont see the differences so dramatically. Besides, life isnt about how much money you make or who your friends are, its if your happy.

I agree that life is about being happy. In the meantime there are many other things that we do: work, go to school, have a family, and yes participate in our social class. So I don't want to make it sound like social class is what everyone is striving for - in fact I think it is the opposite, no one talks about social class. that is why it is so important to examine, because it plays a significant role in our lives, but we don't realize it. For example, we probably would never say I am looking to date someone who is middle class like me, but the reality is that most people do date someone of the same class. So to understand our lives better we must understand the dynamics of social class. make sense?

I agree with you also=). I don't think we really realize it at our school.
