People like us
Watching this video of "People like us" have made me see this social class thing so differently. I've always thought about social class but never really thought about it as something so big or that even really mattered. But watching this have made me see the big picture. Social class is something major and there is more to it then saying your just middle class or upper class. Social class depends on your race, occupation, who your parents are, and maybe even the car you drive and the house you live in. They've made some great points. The critics and the people that judge others because of the way they dress, talk, the school you go to, and the education your parents have gave you is like he said is like still living in high school all your life. I think that no matter what class you come from you should be able to do as you please because social class shouldn't tell you who you are. We are living in the same world living up to some big dreams that we have for our selves. The video "people like us" is a video that all these upper class and middle class should take a look at because then they could see how hard some people have it or how some don't put themselves in the situation they are. Some work very hard to make it up and some work very hard to stay up. Mostly everyone in America see them selves as middle class people while really really we all really have this specific class in which we are from that we don't see. Race is also something that has a lot to do with because if your black your automatically from some other class you could be in a nice house and have nice car and those will see you as nothing.

i agree with you. people judge us for what they see witout knowing what's going on with our lives. I can have a nice car and people tell me "oh you might have a lot of money" I could be broke just because I bought this car. I'm also hispanic, people think that im a dropout, i dont know english and my parents have no jobs. which is totally wrong.
