Upper middle class

Going into the class, I had no idea what to expect, this is now my favorite class. Throughout the semester so far we have talked about race in education, the achievement gap, poverty, and that is just a few topics we have covered so much.

I have gone in depth in studying my neighborhood from the beginning of the Children in New York Class and I can definitely say that I have learn a lot about my neighborhood that I didn’t have no knowledge about.

system is set up in such a way that it is very detrimental to the lower class. The typical reaction to a theory like this is to assume that it is a conspiracy, but Reiman and Leighton make sure to include a section on why this is real, and not a tinfoil hat conspiracy. Their reasoning is that while the criminal justice system is failing to significantly cut down crime, the results of that failure are positive to the upper class, who are the only people that could fix the failure (Reiman and…

foundations of society were almost completely decimated. The family structure was inexistent for the middle class, as parents had to slave away in an England that hardly seemed like civilization.

she finds out that she is pregnant. The film is filled with light banter, heartfelt moments, and sarcastic comedy. However, if the audience take a closer look, you can see that the film actually shows the distinct life differences when it comes to class in regards to both gender and economic status.
