classism discussion- social class questionnaire
I read a social questionnaire about one of my classmates, Kit, and the of the words she used most was lower middle class. She described that she feels she lives in a lower middle class but everything is okay with that. Her family has enough money to get by but not enough to feel secure and get other things that she wanted. She also felt that her family was hardworking and that what made was hard to hear about her class was hearing that they were worrying about money. However, she feels that she also still knows many people who may be lower in class than her and their lives are very different. She stated "their parents are divorced so the mom has to live on her welfare and also college is not something they care about as much as my family." They just have very different values and even though she is not in the highest class she is still happy with what she has.
