Social Class

August 30, 2016

Question: "Does social class cause the differences or do the differences help determine the social
class to which we will belong? "

It goes both ways. Social class causes the differences sometimes because one may be a child, who has no control of the situation. One could have possibly been brought up in poverty, therefore be predisposed to poverty themselves because it's a cycle. One may have to work instead of going to school because of the need to help out financially. On the other hand you could have been born to a family with a stable income. A family who is educated, who has saved to offer the same opportunity they had. However, our differences, also help determine the social class to which we will belong.
One could possibly want to better themselves and succeed to get out of the social class they find themselves in. One may see the difference between one another. You may tell yourself "I want what she has". You will then strive to be in that social class, whatever that social class may be.
