how class works?
Over the weekend, try to take a look at this little graphic from the New York Times on class, and put in your information. Peruse the series of articles, if you like; it miht help you prepare for discussion on Wednesday, or write your speaking notes.
I believe that in our society class is a very important factor. we all strive to attain wealth, education and basic material comfort. We value ourselves and our upkeep. We must look at how we value our lives to then determine why doctors and lawyers can be seen as more important. what do you value and what do you need to maintain it or who do you need? think about it and you'll realize why we value these people more.
