Does it Really Matter?

There are many things that categorize our social class. Which class we "belong" to can be dependent on how much money we have or make, status, socialization, behavior, how much money we spend, perceptions, attitudes, location, education, opportunities, advantages, and simply our lifestyle. Whether we realize it or not, we are each part of a social class. It's so interesting to see that so many things influence which social class we belong to. Our social class can affect us in many ways. Usually by simply looks and actions one can tell what social class one is a part of. Can you tell? Does it really matter what social class you belong to?

In this Youtube video below, you can recognize just how much this teenager does not like his social class, so he does what he can to act like he is part of a "higher class" by treating not only his mother poorly, but even his brother. While watching "Tammy's Story" it was really hard not to feel bad for her because of how her oldest son treats her, especially after hearing the life she came from. I'm sure she feels she has done really well for herself considering. She is living in a really low class, and you can just tell she is struggling trying to do the best she can. I also felt bad for the oldest son because he is trying to live as in he is in an "upper class," but apparently part of that is "behavior" treating other poorly.
