week 14

This week in sociology we continued talking about social class.This week we are watching a movie called "People Like Us".It goes though the details of different social static.Like how it showed a party in the Hamptions and shows charteristics of what people think is class.The video also shows the life of people in poverty and how many struggles they must live with.So this movie decribes different factors that effect are social norms and how these details very differ from our norms as well.Poeple are born into these classes and don't undergo the problems that others of lower classes that shape those people.So for people on opposite sides of social class have different set of norms then what we think.

I was born into middle class so my norms were set differently when  I was little.I was not a child with a silver or plastic spoon in my mouth.The spoon I had was more stainless steel then other materiales.My family is very good at providing but it is not like I am having caviar every night or opossum.So norms are set a lot by the way you live.
