Week 7 Blog - The Daily Fathom: Social Class

In this weeks blog post the focal point will be on social classes and how much they matter in society through out the United States. Social classes are a big part of the work done by sociologist and the importance of being able to classify people in society is vital to sociology.

Now to the question I hope to shed some light on through this post: How much do you think social class matters in the U.S. today? Well this question can be looked at from different angels depending on how you personally classify people in society. Different people have their own way of judging how people fit into society and particularly in the United States where society tends to be very judgmental. I personally think that social class is not as important as many people think. When it comes to putting people into classes and judging them based on those I personally believe it is immoral. But when it comes to how much social classes matter, most people believe they are very important and help define who fits in with whom. Whether you are in the higher social class or the lower class you have a duty to society and if you cannot complete that duty it doesn't matter what class you were in the first place.
