The subway station closest to me reflects mostly working-class people, which connects to the ideas from Reading 4.1 and the video “Wealth Inequality in America.” The video explained that most of the wealth in the United States is concentrated in the hands of a small group, while the majority live with far less. This shows how social class shapes everyday life in neighborhoods.

In my own experience, I notice this pattern. My neighbors and I work hard to cover basic needs like rent, food, and transportation, but we are not living in luxury or moving up into higher social classes. This matches what the video described—that most Americans fall into the middle and lower classes, while only a few are wealthy.

Overall, I think the video gives an accurate picture of the people in my community. I am not surprised by this because I see inequality in my own life every day. It makes me realize how wealth inequality affects not just the country overall, but also what I personally experience in my neighborhood.
