1)Do you notice any similarities in the way social class is discussed in readings 4.1 and 4.2? Do you notice any differences in the way these two readings DIFFERENTIATE between social classes?

In both readings is discussed by income education emphasizing subjective social class. Social classes go beyond financial measures they Include culture and demographic factors The Social Classes include a focus on how income and education shape social Classes and the fluidity between categories like working and middle class. The differences lie in the visual NYC subway map in Reading 4.2 which use geographic income data to distinguish class while 4.1 provides a more statistical and analytical approach.

2)Pick the station closest to where you live. Using the concepts from Reading 4.1, what social class tends to live in your neighborhood? Are you surprised (or not) by the answer? Do you feel it is an accurate representation of the people living in your neighborhood?

In my neighborhood Bensonhurst by reading 4.1 concept I would say my neighborhood is a middle working class.This goes with the reading emphasis on income and occupation as central to determining social class.

3)Based on Reading 4.2, do you notice a general pattern about social classes in NYC? 

Yes I notice a patter in social classes in NYC I would say that the upper classes are more likely in more quieter areas or even near by the train stations this would be good for upper class because they can have their stops by their home so when they go to work faster but the working middle class is farther away from the train stations due to them not being able to afford the houses or apartments near the subway stations. The map highlights how tightly social classes is linked to a geographic reflecting broader economic disparities across different parts of the city.
