This week in sociology class we talked about social class. Students were asked if they typically talk about this topic with their parents. In America, this is not something we commonly mention or talk about. If we do talk about it, it is usually kept on the down-low and do not tell anybody about the topic. Within this topic, also comes wealth. Wealth can be described with the valuables, such as cars, homes, jobs, education, etc. In our school district of Stevenson High School, we tend to think that we aren't as wealthy as the paper says we are. That's because we are used to seeing our community and neighborhoods over a daily basis. As we voted as a class, across the nation our community is in the top 90 percentile with the education we are given. This also includes our towns that we live in including long grove, buffalo grove, Lincolnshire, prairie view, Vernon hills, etc. Also, around 99.3% of the Stevenson students go on to receive a high school diploma and seek further paths in their education. That is an astonishing fact to know and really affects me that we are that high ranked because I don't even realize how lucky I am to have this. Not just me, but all of Stevenson doesn't recognize the opportunities we have in and out of school.
