Reflecting Class (Chapter 5)


(Photo Taken by:Ashley Dyce)


In this picture I choose to take a snap shot of my car steering wheel, it shows my class in the type of car I drive.

“Class is the great unspoken word on most campuses in America.“ Any were in the world you go everyone and everything is divided into some type of class. Wither it is low class, mid class, or high class. In America people who live in big houses and have lots of money are high class citizens. They all dress in the most expensive clothes, drive the nicest cars and wear the finest jewelry. They are able to travel were ever they want when ever they want. On the other side you have the lower class citizen who usually live in more dangerous and wither cheap housing or no housing at all. They usually don’t have a lot of clothes or get to eat everyday. They usually walk or take public transportation to were they need to go, and may never travel out side the city they live in. But there are those who mover in between class, some people who were poor growing up become millionaires, or people who are rich go bankrupt.

A lot of people are easily judged by there financial class or class of race, which is never a good thing just because you are a certain color, or grew up in a certain location doesn’t determine the outcome of your life. Were I have grown up I’ve seen lots of people come and go, a lot of people like me in this country have grown up middle class citizens. And many of the people I know have either moved on to buy bigger and better houses, or gone down the wrong path were they had to move somewhere cheaper. my parents growing up were both poor in the country of Jamaica and when they came here they made sure that there children would grow up in a better home then they did. And for me I feel the same way when I have kids I want them to live in a better place then I do now.
