Granted it's that whole phrase, "Don't judge a person until you walk a mile in their shoes", as in all classes must have their ups and downs. But it's fascinating how just by the way you dress, people can assume what class your in. It's a crazy Thought.

It was like a huge contradiction I was living in. But I think we are all a little bit like that. Which is sad because we all want equality but we judge those who aren't as privileged. This class kind of helps fix that.Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16041597772346650916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6347849077906104807.post-78888383285317279662012-01-16T10:35:15.979-08:002012-01-16T10:35:15.979-08:00You made some very poignant observations regarding...You made some very poignant observations regarding class and how it is an intangible social construct, yet we try an describe it via tangible means (clothing, haircut, car, school, etc.). In doing this we are creating misguided connections between social class and the physical world.

Let's look at how the rich are more likely to finish college, and more likely to get into Ivy League schools, hence the legacies.This thought always fascinated me because in my high school only one person got into Brown University( she was not wealthy), but I assume that in wealthier neighborhoods(parts in Lincoln, Bristol, and East Providence) there were more people who got accepted into Brown, but Why? Yes they are all smart, but the people from the wealthier families had the resources, the right eduction, and the right upbringing to prepare them for ivy league schools that the working class or poor simply cannot afford.

(3). I liked that you talked about the different categories about how people are judged and what they mean. Because someone has a gnome in their front lawn doesn't give you the right to look down on them!! I've seen some snazzy "upper class" people, and let me tell ya, they're not all the best dressers! lol! I want to go back to that site and watch that video, but every time i tried to watch something my computer wouldn't let me :(.

I can totally relate to that idea because I automatically judge people by what they're wearing all the time, and I have definitely assumed that someone was either rich or poor based on what they were wearing. It's interesting because class is supposed to be one of the least visible of all these identity categories (race, gender, etc.) and yet we still make assumptions about it from just looking at someone.
