is something off about her, as she was not raised in the particular region where she lives. Another example in the text is, “But her guidance counselor says she can’t get financial aid or the instate tuition rate because of her status.” This means that, due to Ana’s “status,” she could not receive a proper education. This is clearly a factor of inequality, as she is treated in a manner that forces her self-esteem levels to plummet. This concerns my claim because it shows that "inequality" were…

However, social mobility is not so easily accomplished, as typically children of a certain class will remain in that class throughout their entire lives (Perrin 1). It is the ascribed status, an assignment to a group based on an unchangeable aspect of an individual, that inhibits any growth in the achieved status (Perrin…
