This last week we discuss the social classes and the impact that they bring. We watched a Youtube video that I would highly recommend. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8VXrHeLqBA&feature=related This is the video which is called tammy. It really made me reexamine the way I look at people. I think at times we all need a reality check in which we ask ourselves if we are giving those around us the benefit of the doubt. I judged this family right off the bat and looked down on them but the more I learned about them then the more I felt for them and the more respect I gained for them. I started to feel extremely guilty for judging them. I told myself that I need to change that and not judge people from what I see. There are so many people that have minimum wage jobs but they are working hard and while everything is pushing down on them they are fighting back and trying to make a living. What I took from this was that we all come from different places in our lives and nobody is better than one another and we are all trying our hardest and have no right to judge someone and to categorize anybody.
We took a look at different cultures as well. Each culture seems to have their own positives and negatives. We talked about how being minority may affect people. They are categorized immediately and held to those assumptions. There are more cultures than just our heritage. It could be the culture of single mothers or pregnant teens. We should be aware of all the different types of cultures their are and understand them. We can learn why more teens are becoming pregnant and try to help them.
