Problem
Looking at social stratification (inequality) is not something most Americans are used to doing. The ideal for Americans is that anyone can make it financially if they work hard enough. The truth is more complicated. What type of social class background do you consider yourself from? i came from an African family but not poor. Were most people in your life from that same background? Yes until I moved to America, How did your family's social class effect things like food, housing, healthcare, and other basic necessities? Did this background affect your starting place in society at all? Sometimes yes but something I'm grateful because I can say that my parents raised me well and taught me how to hustle.
