In our society, we all come from different places, different genders, and many different ages. It’s safe to say that we are all different in our ways, but if we involve of all of the different stratifications how are they related? In one of my views, race, class, gender, and aging are all related in a way that at times they are hard to change. Aging is something we can’t stop no matter what culture, class, gender.
