ANALYSIS: Something to think about

INSTRUCTION. Answer the given set of questions. Write your answer on the space provided.

WHAT. What makes an individual or group of people belong to upper, middle, or lower class? Explain the
basis for your answer.
 UPPER CLASS REFERS TO A GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS WHO OCCUPY THE HIGHEST PLACE AND STATUS
IN SOCIETY. THESE PEOPLE ARE CONSIDERED THE WEALTHIEST, LYING ABOVE THE WORKING AND
MIDDLE CLASS IN THE SOCIAL HIERARCHY.
 THE MIDDLE CLASS OR MIDDLE CLASSES ARE THE PEOPLE IN A SOCIETY WHO ARE NOT WORKING
CLASS OR UPPER CLASS. BUSINESS PEOPLE, MANAGERS, DOCTORS, LAWYERS, AND TEACHERS ARE
USUALLY REGARDED AS MIDDLE CLASS.
 THE LOWER CLASS IS TYPIFIED BY POVERTY, HOMELESSNESS, AND UNEMPLOYMENT. PEOPLE OF
THIS CLASS, FEW OF WHOM HAVE FINISHED HIGH SCHOOL, SUFFER FROM LACK OF MEDICAL CARE,
ADEQUATE HOUSING AND FOOD, DECENT CLOTHING, SAFETY, AND VOCATIONAL TRAINING.

HOW. How could education be a way for social mobility and eventually change one’s current social class?
 EDUCATION PROVIDES KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS THAT CAN HELP A PERSON SUCCEED IN A CERTAIN
FIELD OR HIS/HER OWN PROFESSION WHICH WILL BE ABLE TO HELP HIM/HER CHANGE HIS/HER
SOCIAL CLASS.

WHY. Do you think inequality may arise in a society because people don’t have the same social status in
life? Why or why not?
 YES, BECAUSE DOOR FOR OPPORTUNITIES IS ALWAYS OPEN FOR THOSE IN THE UPPER CLASS THAN
THE LOWER CLASS.
