When I compared the articles, I noticed that both really highlight how social class shapes our identities and how we view ourselves and others. They both also talk about important factors like income and education. However, they approach the topic in different ways. In the article “What Determines How Americans Perceive Their Social Class?” they take a broader look at how social class is perceived across the whole U.S. using survey data. On the other hand, the subway reading focuses on New York City, showing how access to transportation impacts social inequalities. This specific focus makes it feel more relatable and highlights how our location can shape our experiences with social class.
