For us to move up in the social classes my mom would have to get a higher income, and we would have to live in a better house and a better neighborhood than the one we live in now.

When looking into the four main social classes, they differ greatly in what products appeal to them. For instance, the upper class is attracted to more luxurious products like BMW, Ralph Lauren, Louis Vuitton, and Prada.

The working class and the lower

Growing up, I attended private primary schools because my parents wanted to make sure that I always strived for an exceptional education. I had both the social capital and the economic capital necessary to succeed in our society. With that being said, my father made it a priority to send me to Holy Name and St. Agnes Catholic School in Mission, Kansas where wearing uniforms was the social norm. I…
