Summary Of Class In America By Gregory Mantsios

In the article, "Class in America", Gregory Mantsios shows us how what class individuals are in affect their lives more than they think. The author thinks Americans, don’t like to talk about class no matter is upper class, middle class, or lower class. He describes four beliefs about class in America and then he used statistical evidence to refute them. In this article I have deep feelings about the class. Here have two points first of all I thinks the class that you are in it will affect your life whatever you admit it to yourself or not another point is the class you are affects how you are succeeding in school it all affect your future. Class, will affect in the future what job you will find, what kind person you will meet. For example the

date from Richard De Lone, “examined the test scores of over half a million students who took the College Board exams (SATs). His findings were consistent with earlier studies that showed a relationship between class and scores on standardized tests; his conclusion: “the higher the student’s social status, the higher the probability that he or she will get higher grades.” As we can see the family income of less than$20000 to more than $200000， the direct relationship between family income and examination results. More than thirty years after this survey's release, the data it doesn’t change. Test scores still relate family incomes. If your family income is $10,000 a year, maybe you are not getting succeed well in the classroom; but if your family income is $100,000 a year, you most likely succeed in the classroom.
Another example is American Lifestyles "some typical lifestyles and some not so typical lifestyles". And class differences, which have different effects on people's way of life if you are in different class it will affect where you live, what kind friends you will make and what educated you will get. No matter from a lower class or upper class affects person’s lives and during the people’s childhood it is will affects their adulthood. This mean is if one is brought up in a lower class family, this person will not make it beyond their parents but as author wants to tell people is thought this can make people look for their self at the lifestyles of people as they grow up.
