This is a little last, but last week we talked about culture diversity and social class. We were asked to reply in a discussion board on whether we thought cultures were equal. Since not everyone can see what I write in my assignment, I can tell you that I do believe that cultures are equal. They all have their own set of rules and morals that they follow that help establish who they are. For me, being LDS, not every culture has things that I would agree with, but my culture for me is being a member of the church. I have reccommendations and commandment that I am expected to follow as a faithful member, and for me, I've found it easier to live as I have gotten older. I have learned to appreciate it more, and I understand what I am living and why I am doing it.
With social class, people tend to identify themselves and others in social class, based off of money, posessions, and how they live. It's really sad when people have to live in what is known as the lower class, and they just accept it and think that nothing is going to change. We sae this is a short video of a woman and her kids. They live in a worn out moblie home, with garbage everywhere, no friends over, and such. The kids they talked to the most said he's embarrased by the way he lives, and how his mother just accepts it and think nothing will change. He shouldn't feel this way, and the mother should be able to provide for her family properly and try to make a difference to improve her way pf living, especially for her children. With rich people, they don;t always think of themselves as upper class and think that "too much" is not enough. For example, if a family has a 5000-square-foot house, and they have a kid, they think it's not enough space, so they either expand or move to a larger house. You don't always need a lot of space just because you have a lot of money.
