I do see the difference in both readings about how social class was discussed. Overall, my understanding is some people don’t tend to view social class or also don’t pay much mind to it. While others do and simply see themselves more as a Middle or Working class. Yet, little do we know it’s more lower and working class than anything.
In my case, I am slightly shocked about what I saw on the chart for my location. Although, I consider my area to be mostly working class. There is still a lot of property owners in my area. Yet again, there is also a lot of people who rent and are constantly working hard every single day.
Personally, I do see a general pattern about social classes in NYC. I’d say for example, when taking the train, you see the difference from one train station to another. Along with, when walking on the Upper East Side to what is walking through the Lower East Side. Let alone with all the gentrification , we would be lying if we said otherwise.
