The New York Times is doing a terrific series of articles about social class in America. Although I haven’t done much with it since then, I studied sociology in college. This is a subject I find fascinating. I intend to read the whole series as it comes out. If you get a chance to read it and also find it interesting let me know. Perhaps we can continue the discussion.
So far they have only published two articles. Yesterday, they featured a general discussion of the perceptions and realities social class. They also provided some interactive graphs focusing on social mobility. The article they featured today illustrated the differences in the health care received by people of different socio-economic classes in America and reasons why that is the case. On Thursday they plan to discuss marriage.
About Me
- Lora
- While I'm loving life in the Austin area, I mainly grew up in the Hudson Valley of New York. I’m a 38 year old INFP married to a very handy INTJ. We have a three year old that keeps life interesting and full of meaning, a little girl in the womb and a 9 year old puppy. I tend to take a Zen approach to life and, at least mentally, I’m always going off on one tangent or another. This really is just a hodge-podge of whatever’s on my mind at the moment with little rhyme or reason.
