Class Blog #2

The part of class That i found to be most interesting was when we watched the video, and it talked about the different social classes and the effect they have on others. I was paying attention to my co-workers on Tuesday night and I tried seeing if I could distinguish the diffrent social classes between my peers. I paid attention to who they interacted with more than the others around them. I did notice that the older women tended to hang around the others that were around the same age. They all are servers trying to raise a family on their wages, so they are in the same class, which gives them some common interests. The younger employees interacted with mostly everybody, but they also had certain people they seemed to talk to more. There are a few high school students working with me, and they seemed to hang out together more than they did with the older women. Also, there are a few guys that work back in the dish area, and not too many people would associate with them, for whatever reason. There is also one guy that works with me who is a little bit different from everyone else. He only seemed to talk to people when he initiated the conversation. Noone seemed interested in being seen with him or conversing with him. It was quite sad actually. I never really stopped and looked at my peers around me to see the different social classes. It really made me see how important it is to treat everyone as an equal, no matter the social class they're in.
