Social Class

A couple weeks ago in sociology we talked about social class. A lot of us don't realize how good we really have it because we have been living this way all our lives. Our district exceeds the average wealth percentage of the United States yet we don't even realize it. We are divided into three social classes, upper, middle, and lower. The upper class holds about 90% of our wealth, even though they are the smallest in population. It's unfortunate that the larger, and more populated social classes don't have as much wealth. This lesson showed me how fortunate I truly am to be living where I do and to have the amount of opportunities that I do. This lesson really helped me to open my eyes and made me so grateful for what I have.
