Intro
In the article “Moving up from the Working Class” Morris and Grimes argue that “early socialization within a class culture has deep and abiding effects”. I would agree with this statement, because as I have always grown up in the working class and I am still in it today. I am trying my best to move up and out of the working class, but it is a very hard thing to do because I still have the mentality of being in the working class.

These are usually signs of someone having more money. But for the most part, the lines of social class are fairly hidden here at Coe unless you straight up ask
