You Are What You Make...

In class this week, we discussed social class and watched a film about the many classes that make up our society as a whole. Although we may not pick and choose our friends based on what class they are in, what jobs their parents hold, and in what way they dress, we have subconsciously become a product of the class we are in. When in a certain class, one has the mindset of what kind of job they will hold in the future, whether or not college is or is not an option, perhaps even when the next getaway to Paris will be. In each crevice of society is somebody and that person will belong to one class or another.
The determinant, at least I believe it is, is the money one is making and the work they're doing to get this money. There is no breaking a barrier in classes because although we want to look to everybody as an equal, we set certain standards for ourselves that we then believe everybody else should abide by. However, everybody may be in a different financial situation, in a different "class" then ourselves, and they can't go about making the same goals as we do, because maybe their goal is just to get by.
Some of us are just lucky to be able to make big plans in this life, some of us are lucky enough to get a vacation in sometime during the year, but some of us are just trying to get through it all, one meager meal at a time.
So when you look all around you, where do you fall in? Where do your best friends fit in? Where do we all fit in?
