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?

Yes, both readings 4.1 and 4.2 talk about how social class is connected to things like money, education, and job type. They both show that people can be grouped by how much they earn or what kind of work they do. But there is a small difference. Reading 4.1 focuses more on how people see themselves in a certain class, even if they don’t really match that class. Reading 4.2 is more about facts and data, like where different classes live and how neighborhoods are divided by income. So 4.1 is more about personal identity, and 4.2 is more about real-world statistics.
