  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? They both show that your pretty much born into your conditions. It’s shaped by a combination of things beyond your control your income, how much education and where in this world you live. Their ideas about what class is however differ greatly. Gallup takes a more subjective view it’s the way people think about themselves as members of different classes. People may say ” I am working class; I am middle class or even i on the other hand am neither rich or poor.” Based on their income or living standard. The New Yorker on the other hand, shows geographical differentials in class. By plotting income against subway lines, it teaches readers how much their neighborhood is a mirror image of widespread structural stratification.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  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? I live near the Sutter ave L train in Brooklyn. Th map in the New Yorker tells us that this a predominantly a lower income or working-class neighborhood. It certainly seems to ring true a lot of people including myself are busting their chops just to make life run smoothly, and many families carry a heavy rent load on top of that. I think it portrays life in my community fairly well. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Based on Reading 4.2, do you notice a general pattern about social classes in NYC? After looking at the city as a whole, i started to see a trend the richer parts of Manhattan or quickly changing neighborhoods of Brooklyn like BedStuy and park slope; poorer ones tend to be distant from Manhattan as in outer boroughs queens or Bronx. This goes to show how new york is divided by both economics and location when it comes to social class. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
