Social Science - Sociology Assignment

SOCIAL CLASS

Social class extends beyond wealth and other financial indicators. Class also includes details like the amount of free time enjoyed, quality of life, educational attainment, and others’ perceptions of social status. The language and experience of class is woven into everyday communications and judgments. For example, we might describe the actions of someone as “classy” if we perceive their behavior as sophisticated and appropriate or “classless” if the behavior is rude. Picture, also, someone stepping into a high-end store who does not have the right “look” to be shopping there. The shopkeeper may exhibit classism by dismissing or confronting them.

How often do you reflect upon the influence social class has had on your life? In this Discussion, you revisit personal experiences of social class and the role class plays in your life and future social work practice.
