People Like Us

While watching "People Like Us", it made me open my eyes in so many ways.  I always knew their were more than one social classes, lower class, and high class.  I never thought the one in between made any difference, because you were always going to be viewed as rich or poor.  Seeing how the adults and teens view people and put them in different classes such as: preppy, low class, nerds, and ghetto, other than their self pissed me off.  In the beginning of the video people were categorized by other people , and put in a social class by the way they walked, talked, dressed, which seemed so wrong and harsh.  The video go as far as saying certain food we eat is considered what social class you belong to, for me I love "Wonder Bread" I am just saying.  While the video had some interesting parts their was one sad part.  The Single Mother busting her butt at Burger King to take care of her kids, and her oldest son who was extremely disrespectful and thought that he was in abetter social class than his family because of the way he dressed, was popular, and received a good number of awards.  The fact is he is already labeled as lower class "poor" because his mother is he is just in denial.
