INEQUALITY!!!!!!!

 
The video "people like us" shows how everyone tries to fit in the society. The video's main point is like the whole society always finds ways to fit in, its like in a job or something, you always see how other acts and you follow them so you could be part of the so called "crew."This video also goes back to what Professor applewhite was talking about in class, about class, and how much people make, and whose higher or not. like you might think your working class or middle class but instead you might be in a lower class then you know.Watching the video made me realize we all try to fit in everywhere, and we do anything and everything just to fit in. I actually compare this video to my country becuase, in my country who ever has land is rich, and they think they are all that just becuase of their land, this defines that what class you are does matter in our everyday life, sometimes, some poeple just wants to hang out with you just becuase you have money, you can actually see how people are treated just becuase they have money.
 
 
The world that we live in today is filled with social, class and gender inequality. The article "cause of death:Inequality" is about how poeple of lower class seem to be direct target when it comes to inqquailty. this includes people that are poor, less educated and have very low class jobs. This article points out that even if people are poor in the United States; these people are having better health than ordinary people in poor country. The sentence that was interesting to me in this article was the first sentence becuase it makes you realize the reality of our world and society today. although people are dynig all over for many reasons, if you notices, poor people seem to be more affected with all the illness than the upper class. The article points out reasons for inequality, such as gender, race, class, education act and how it effects life expectancy.in the USA woman have no longer life expectancy by six years more than men do. Men with less than 12 years of education is more likey to die before educated men and the reasons are because highschool drop out do whatever they want, and follow others who doesnt care about their deit and other things in there life. A high school drop out is considered poor while a college student is considered middle class and the college student would likey live longer than a drop out student becuase the college student will have an easy job because of thier hard work they did in school, where as the drop out will probably die from all the injuries they get from there hard jobs. Although we have changed many of the gender inquality over past cnetury, socail and class inequality are now more than ever at a very high level.
