Although the last things that anyone wants to think about right now are classes (hello, new school year), don't fret! My topic concerns classes of the social variety. The topic of social classes used to seem cut-and-dry to me; the rich were rich, the poor were poor, and that was that. However, over the years I've seen how a person's social standing can affect his or her life and relationships with others, and in today's unstable economy, one's position in the class system can be altered in the blink of an eye.
Still, I didn't choose this topic to simply extend my knowledge on the social classes. A natural sociology geek, I prefer to observe how members of different or common social classes interact with one another, specifically analyzing how their class standings affect their interactions and relationships. I'll specifically be exploring how social class affects relationships among people in America, and, hopefully, on an international level, as well. I'll aim to make this topic more interesting than anyone (including myself) ever thought it could be, and I look forward to keeping it classy with you all on here. Happy reading!
