Reflection Paper On Social And Economic Status

797 Words4 Pages

Reflection paper: What differences exist in social and economic status among the different people, and how can socio-economic status affect people interaction.

As a species, we are social creatures who live out our lives in the company of other humans. Each individual is born into social and cultural setting-family, country, social class, religion and eventually develops many social connections that would shape his interaction with others. Now going back to the person A, the 88 year lady, I believe she has lived a good live since the has been a CEO of large company and she had the opportunity to live in different country and experience different cultures, so her social life has expanded enough and enriched with many experiences, also as a lady in the management field so I would say that she is from the high class in the community and I think she is financially stable or wealthy.
For the person B, the 23 year lady, I got the feeling that she is from the middle class people and she is working hard to support her children, so financially she is struggling and has to do the night shift at a casino to provide money for her family, in regards to her social status I think a lady with two children would be busy enough and her social circle would be limited to the relative and few friends or coworkers around.
For the person C, the 43 year man, I think he has a decent life doing a job related to his religion so his social life is wide and expanded since he works as a pastor

    Social status is defined as a person's standing or importance in relation to other people within a society. Social status has affected the world for hundreds of years, from where you were allowed to go to the bathroom, to if you were allowed to vote. The way a person is viewed and treated is all caused by what is believed to be their rank in society and in the short story, “A&P”, John Updike uses irony, symbolism, and characterization to show this. Sometimes people dissatisfied with their opportunities get caught up with what others represent, causing rash decisions that lead to disappointment.

For the Disability IAT I was surprised to find out that have a slight preference for abled persons over disabled persons. Based on the results of this IAT test, I would say that I am in the acceptance phase of the DMIS because I have the ability to recognize and appreciate the cultural difference between abled persons and disabled persons in my own terms, yet with a subtle preference for abled persons. I disagree with the results because I feel like I have subtle preference for disabled persons when it comes to helping them over the abled persons. I feel like disable

I had a good understanding of who I would see and my perceptions of them based on this experience, as well as other cultural norms. For example, I mentioned the couples as likely being romantically involved if heterosexual, and same sex couples to be friends/ acquaintances/ work partners, due to my experience with heteronormativity, as well as the prominence of coffee shop dates and work meetings in my cultural understanding. I also assumed adult and child pairs to be parent and child due to my own experience (as well as the words “mom” or “dad” on occasion) as opposed to any actual knowledge of their relationship.

Based on wealth and various occupations, social classes determine the population’s status in society. Social classes today define individuals and influence their actions. Although people born in a certain class may choose to stay there, they also have the choice of leaving.

    Therefore, in a stratified society, the individual’s opportunities are always determined by his or her social class. In this essay, I will be arguing that even though mobility exists in the social class system, the opportunity to change status is relatively open for everyone but the distribution of opportunities among the members of a social class is not relatively equal to all. I will demonstrate this point by showing how participation of an individual in a specific social class will decide the opportunities in terms of attaining education and achieving a well-paid job. Education has a significant role in promoting social mobility; it enables people to acquire knowledge and certain skills in order to promote their social status. Nowadays, people believe that societies are based on meritocratic
