Class

People all over want to be in a higher class so they do anything necessary to belong to a higher group. My self is a prime example , before I had gotten my job I would get my mother to buy me the most expensive things just do I could fit in with the kids that could afford it. So even if she had to punch and squeeze I felt I needed the finest things in life and she would always call me a rich minded poor girl. Also liked in the movie that I've just seen think like a man , one of the characters wanted to date this very rich business women and felt he had to lie to get with her , so he took some ones expensive car to show her he " had " money which was false and when he actually finally gotten his business started he told her he wined and dined her at the finest restaurants to impress her which I think people in lower and middle class try's to do. They try to impress a higher class do they can show them I can get money just as well as you , being that higher people more often judge lower classes on how they dress, talk, walk, and where they live also where they work. Anybody in society judges what they think are beneath them an have been doing it since birth because they've seen someone do it or what's the object of somebody's judgement. Such as web.a black person would tell another black who talks proper or dresses a certain way stop acting white or why do you talk like because they're probably use to people talking Ebonics. Society ad classes are nothing but judgment in my eyes that's why I'm ALWAYS Saying " DOT JUDGE ME " because nine times out of ten people wanna say what I have the guts to say but just are afraid of being judged so they stop themselves from doing and saying a lot which to me is stopping yourself from living how you TRULY wanna live .

Underclass In America

A part of this reading that stuck out to me is when they stated " It is not difficult to understand why people poor and more fortunate, are fearful of street crime committed by poor people" because it was kind of confusing but yet I believe where the author was coming from. I Interpreted from that is people who are like low class but not actually poor as like living on the streets and wealthy people are actually afraid of the people on the streets who could actually commit street crimes. But thats actually categorizing all hobos as bad people when in all actuality some of them have had a hard life to live and wasn't as fortunate as others to have help and or a good up bringing. Other Then That The Reading Really Mad Me THINK Heavy About The Problems Addressed In This Reading 

Deviance ..

The definition for deviance in the reading states " breaking a social rule, or refusing to follow one is called deviance." If that's the case I see deviance, happening on an everyday basis. Whether its young teens jumping turnstiles, fighting on the corners and or skipping school. Deviance in that case is probably an everyday thing for a lot of people whether they know it or not. As a teen growing up I guess i could be categorized as deviant because of the simple fact i did some of those things listed and not even know i was being deviant. I know i was doing wrong but besides it being wrong I had no clue it was another term for i. It's interesting what you learn on a day to day basis, and now that i know what deviance is i can kind of teach my niece of what not to do so she wont be categorized as a deviant child or a trouble maker.
