1. In the readings 4.1 and 4.2, the concept of social class in both passages are noted differently. In 4.1, social classes are described and categorized into individualized household incomes. With the lower class being categorized at $0-$19k while the upper class at $250k and up. On the other hand in 4.2, social class is described through how capitalists are inherit their wealth which is through property income, rents, stocks, etc.
  2. According to the station nearest to where I live, the majority of the social class that tends to live in my neighborhood is without a doubt the working class. I am not surprised by the answer as in my neighborhood I constantly see many individuals in the morning on their way to work, usually with dress code representing big famous corporations.
  3. In reading 4.2, a general pattern that I picked up on was that stations located in the lower manhattan consisted of individuals in the upper class.
