1. Reading 4.1 explains social class by looking at things like income, education, occupation, and how people see their own position in society. It helped me understand that social class is not only about how much money a person makes. Other things in a person’s life can also affect the class they identify with.

2. Based on Reading 4.1, I would describe my neighborhood as mostly working class and middle class. There are many different families and people with different jobs and incomes. Some people make more money than others, so not everyone has the same lifestyle or economic situation. I think the ideas from the reading represent my neighborhood because I can see these differences in everyday life.
