Nowadays, it is very hard to be classify on the middle class compare to the early 1970's. Today's median-earning family is making a lot more money that their parents did a generation ago. The family in the middle class brings home two paychecks with income $75.600 . It means all the growth in family income came from adding a second earner. The story is all about overconsumption, families really are blowing their paychecks on designer clothes and restaurant meals than their parents did a generation earlier.…
Lydia Samson The Vanishing Middle Class Analysis Government, politics, and the death of the “American Dream” are just a few of the topics discussed in The Vanishing Middle Class, a recent nonfiction account of the inequalities of the American economic system by economist Peter Temin. Temin describes the economic inequality of the current class system as grouped into the top 1% who hold 99% of the nation’s wealth, the poorer, lower income class, and the titled “vanishing” middle class. The problems within the economic class systems arise in that those in financial prosperity are experiencing a steady growth in their yearly income, the population of lower class people is only growing, meaning that the American middle class is rapidly shrinking.…

When he talked about his family growing up, he also thought they were middle-class. What this shows is that the definition of the middle-class is a large range. Based off this interview, I think the main differences between the lower-middle class and the upper-middle class is the ability to have purchases that luxuries or not necessary such as vacations. As my dad mentioned before, he never felt poor because he had a home, clothes, and food when it was needed. In comparison to my immediate family and my dad’s family, I would say that we both had good social mobility because both families gave their children the opportunities to receive a higher education at a college /…
Middle Class: The American middle-class is anyone who comfortably (though surely, not without hardship at times) affords life’s necessities. These include: shelter, sustenance, clothing and transportation. It can be used as a label for those in the vast socio-economic group which is comfortably above the poverty level, but not within reach of say, the top ten-percent. Many people believe the middle-class shrunk as interest rates on mortgages rose, making it difficult for people to make payments and hold onto their homes. African-American: Any people of African ancestry who have been born in America as well as those who have or were forced to settled in America and who have made a home in America.…
The middle class should be worried about themselves. The middle class claims that its unequal to them and the upper class gets whatever they want when in reality, the upper class really works for what they have. They know how to make money and the middle class does not. The middle class do not work for what they want that is why they are still stuck in the middle class. The middle class are uneducated on how to make money so they chose the easy way out and find a job that is not guaranteed for the future.…
The poor class is under the poverty threshold. These people have enough income to get by but often time struggle. The majority of this specific sector of the population is uneducated and in some cases are homeless.

The quote, “Britain is a nation divided by class whereas the US continues to be a classless society” is only partially true; both Great Britain (GB) and the United States of America (USA) are divided by social classes. However, at one point in time, roughly about the late 1900’s, the quote was highly debatable. The United States of America and other countries thought that there was little class differentiation in the USA and the social class system consisted mostly of the middle class. Michael Zweig’s “The Working Class Majority: America’s Best Kept Secret,” published in 2000, is a great example of why it was a controversy and how class systems existed in the USA even then.…

My life has been affected by race, class and ethnicity everyday in different ways. Each category has affected my life in different ways, but they are a major part what makes me who I am. I was born into all three sections of being born into the working class, as a white person who is American. I can not change the fact that I am white, unless I want to go through many procedures, I can not change the fact that I was born an American, but I can choose if I want to leave what class I am in. Class is people who have similar economic or social statuses.…
