I got Bourgeoi Vous (can't quite remember how to spell it) and I think that I fit fairly well in this social class. I don't generally consider myself someone who is from the upper middle class, but I do think sometimes I live the lifestyle of one. I feel this way because I work alot so I have all this extra money I don't have to spend on rent, bills, and etc... Sometimes I find myself splurging on something designer. All though usually I consider myself and my family middle class, I think the description I received from the quiz was rather accurate.

The story we read about social class being harder to read was interesting ("Shadowy Lines That Still Divide"). I didn't really quite agree with the article. For example, in class we talked about the seperation of classes just in the city of Madison. If you compare the west side to the east side, you will be able to tell which side is wealthier. On the west side, the mall has nicer more expensive stores, nicer buildings, nicer schools, and newere houses. Another example that makes me think that social class has a look is at dance competitions I go to. You can tell who has more money by the warmups they wear and the name brands on their clothes. I don't believe in stereotyping, and I don't think you can just look at someone and determine if they are rich or poor, but I definitely think you can somewhat tell which social class people are from. "It has become harder to read people's status in the clothes they wear, the cars they drive, the votes they cast, and the god they worship, the color of their skin", a quote from the article that I have mixed feelings about. I think that you can most definitely not tell by the color of their skin or who they worship, but I do think that the materialistic things somewhat show what social class they come from.
