Social Class

Social/economic class is the social category which you fit in to. I think that it is based on yoyur income and what you can afford and where you live. In your life, I think it influences who you are friends with and what you can accomplish in your life. People are generally friend with those in the same social class, because they can relate to each other. I also think that there is a tendency for people to judge others if they stray out of their designated class as well. I think that class and deviance correspond with how you live within your social class. I believe that sometimes it is negatively deviant for people to leave their social class and to befriend those in other classes. However, I think that it is seen as positively deviant for those in the higher classes to reach out to the less fortunate and the people in different classes to help out. I believe that there are unwritten rules about how to act within your social class and if you act out of it, then you are deviant and the public opinion made of you will negatively be affected.
