Don't Be So Stuck Up, Please?


With most of Stevenson being upper middle class, when do you have time to associate with the ones who aren't? Hmmm....let me think, not a whole lot. And just by saying most of Stevenson is upper middle class I just separated the different classes there are in the world. So, I believe that separating people of different classes is just what people do naturally. It's what most of us have lived with and been grown up with. Sure, it's a horrible thing to put people in categories when it is known that "all men are created equally", but it IS what we do even if we like it or not.
With all the talk about the insanely rich movie stars there's never enough time to talk about those of the lower class. They sometimes feel they are "invisible" in today's society because no one really cares or wants to talk about someone that is of a lower class than they are. I don't blame them. That's why volunteering is a great way to see things in a whole new perspective. Plus it gives you time to communicate and associate with the different classes of people.

  1. Its true, whether we like it or not, we naturally judge people and categorize them into the social class we think they belong in, based on the material items they have.

  2. Yeah, I agree that whether we try to or not we do judge people based off of their social class.
