Social Inequalities In High School

Social class describes the different "layers" that exist in society. These "layers," or classes in society, are a division that civilization has been running on ever since the beginning of mankind. In most modern societies, our system of social class division is one of opportunity. We experience a good deal of social mobility, where people through generations or in their own lifetime can move up or down the social scale. By examining the many different perceptions of social class along with S.E. Hinton's The Outsiders, it is illustrated that social class has an impact on people while they are growing up, and will usually deny them from rising above adversity.

Social class has always been around, whether it is the present time or the past. It is a way to group people into a set of hierarchical social categories. For this reason, social class is something that will never go away. No matter how hard we try as a society, there will always be people pushing hard to keep these groups alive. The rich, high class, will never be ok with sharing a table with the poor, low class. Social class affects not only our outward appearances, but it plays a factor in what schools we can attend, our health, what jobs we can get, who we can marry, and the treatment we receive from police and courts.

Social class is a division of a society based on social and economic status which can include levels of wealth, success, power of authority, and influence. Status is can be defined or grouped having common economic, cultural, or political interests.

Also since I learned about social class from Marx and neo-Marx theories, I understand some social reasons why there are inequalities, and the relationship between class inequalities and other aspects such as social institution. I would say this class is one of the reasons why I got interested in social class and eventually I wrote about class differences for my senior thesis. Especially we had many opportunities to study social class it gives me he idea, “each person doesn’t have own thoughts or idea to be rich or improve their social status because of pressures from people around or society”, “even thought people don’t feel they have personal right by the pressures, I don’t think these people try to aim to get bourgeoisies’ powers.” To make these clear, I could get the strong idea that people who are lower class people can’t or even don’t try to improve their life. At the time, I gave “pressure from people and society” as a reason of this problem but I argue that it is because it is almost impossible to do once they get in lower class, such as poverty cycle, because of strong social structure.

Social class affects society in many ways. Throughout research I found that social class mostly affects health, life and education. The rich has more advantage than the middle class and the middle class has more advantage than the lower class all due to money. Health is one of the most important factor in one’s life. The poor are more prone to diseases and are the ones who are disadvantaged in the healthcare system. The lower and working class have low access to fresh produce and exercise facilities. The rich get one of the best education while the poor end up dropping out of school due to financial reasons. Education is also very important for preventing diseases, having a healthy diet and properly exercising. The poverty in the lower class

Social class is a system of social stratification, the hierarchy creates specific types of social inequalities. Social inequality refers to the existence of social inequalities created such as ownership, types of occupation that creates differences in wealth, income and power, while social stratification refers to the existence of social groups. Class can be arranged to economic factors such as income, education, wealth and other factors at work. Poverty remains high and could argue that true poverty cannot exist in a country as rich as the United States. It is clear that poverty has an impact on certain groups of people, while other groups have it easy, but poverty is often associated with something low education, poor health and social

Recently social class In America has definitely impacted the economy. Due to the fact that there are several jobs available to the public, but limited because of social status. According to some sources there are three different types of social classes in America such as, high class, middle class, and lower class. On the other hand there is an elite class which has all the power, then the upper class, the middle class, who really don’t have power, the lower-middle class also known as the working class, which gives power to the upper class, and last but not least you have the lower class that is unemployed and still suffering. On the other hand According to some economists, class statuses depend on the demographical, physiological, socioeconomic, and psychographic; that is groups of people. The economy increases or decreases depending upon the assembly, distribution, and consumption of a certain amount of goods and services by different people in a given geographic location.

While many people believe that social classes should exist, it is actually proven that each social class affects the other. Without the upper class using the products the lower class makes through farming and factory working, the lower class would not have a need to exist. Without the less fortunate supplying the higher class with their products, the higher class would not be able to live, and therefore would also not exist.

Social class comes from the idea of ‘social stratification’ – a term that refers to a system whereby a population in society is divided into ranks, or categories, based on “their relative power, property and prestige” (Henslin, Possamai and Possamai-Inesedy 2010). These categories help classify the 3 main different social classes; working/lower class, middle class, and upper class. Therefore, when we’re looking at ‘class inequality’ we’re looking at the disparities between them and what causes those differences. However, like most Sociological concepts, this is subject to various competing explanations, so to paint a clearer picture we can look through the lenses of conflict theory & functionalism (although are both under the ‘macro-sociology’ umbrella of sociological schools of thought); two sociological theories very different from each other.

In my junior year of high school, I decided that I wanted to plan a college and career day. Over the years, equity in education has become a very important topic to me. When I have ventured out into schools with higher funding then my school, the difference in available resources is very obvious. I believe that every child is entitled to the same resources no matter what their background is. Consequently, over a Christmas break me and a friend started planning the fair. We invited three colleges, and ten different speakers who each had a different career. While the fair was rather small, I think that day everyone took something valuable from it. No student at my school had organized an event like this on their own. My class saw that day that even teenagers are capable of creating the change they want to see around them. After that day I saw more people advocating for themselves and having dialogue with our school's administration.

Social class is a division of a society based on social and economic status. Why do we have social class in our societies? For what purpose does social class, even exist? From the United States, to India, many different societies have different social classes and systems. So why does social class and system differ from place to place? These are some essential questions that need to be answered.

Social class ranks people in today’s society (Solomon, 2011). Individuals who belong to the same social class, typically work together in similar career fields and have similar lifestyles. Changes and prices make it difficult for all social classes by the products they offer. For example, attending college is different for each social class.

One thing that has always been in control of our lives, ever since its birth, is money. In result, as long as there has been money, there has been social classes. In the

High school was a particular time where I faced many doubts in individuals that I thought where my best friends, this often caused me to become paranoid. High school can be tough between trying to fit in, and find where you belong. High school is filled with rumors, and he said she said, many times I often became paranoid because I never truly knew if my friends where the real friends I thought they were. This often caused me to have doubts in believing what they were telling me was always true or not. Some of my friends tended to talk about others when they were not around, this lead me to feel like if I wasn’t around they were saying things about me. I often had ask myself if these where the type of people I should be surrounding myself

Gender inequality is an issue that has been affecting our world for a very long time. We see it all throughout history, from women entering the workforce for the first time, to women protesting on the street, fighting for the right to vote. An article in the Wall Street Journal reports that a man who works full time earns a median of $889 a week, a woman who works full-time earns a median of $721 a week. That 's a $168 difference between males and females in the workforce. Also, what about the horrible names that girls are called throughout middle school and high school? Slut, hoe, whore, skank, all of these judgmental names are what women are called every day, whether it 's true or not. Gender inequality is everywhere, but most
