Social Class

This week in class we talked about social class and how we judge others based on the way we live and our appearances. For example, if I were a cut off shirt, old pants and dirty shoes, then people would think that I am poor because they think you cannot afford good clothes. Another example is if you live in a very old moldy run down house then people would think that you are also poor. Or if I live in a big mansion, then people would think that you are very rich. People might take these judgments and choose who they want to hang out with. This could prevent you from meeting new people, hiring the right people for a job, or making friends.
