Social Class

 

This man is digging through a trash can in Moorpark and collecting cans and bottles to bring to the recycling center in exchange for a little bit of change. Inequality can be seen everywhere, even in little ol' Moorpark. 

 This may look like a bunch of garbage on the sidewalk, but it's actually a human being wrapped in some sort of aluminum insulation in order to fight the cold in the streets of Boston. The fact that this is right outside of a Bank of America makes it an even better depiction of inequality; everyone has to walk past this sleeping person in order to take money out of their bank accounts or deposit their paychecks.

 

Here's another depiction of the culture of poverty in our society. This woman sits in that chair all day long, shaking her cup and saying, "more food" while she already has some in her hand. It is like she has accepted her fate and would rather sit their and beg than try to improve her situation

This young middle-class male sits in the subway with a picture of a homeless person posted behind him. This shows more inequality in society, but at least people are recognizing it and putting it out their in hopes to make people more aware. 

 

 The American Dream. If you work hard enough, you'll be able to live in a nice tract home like this one here. This is a good example of your average upper-middle class family's home.

 

This house on the other hand is most likely occupied by a working class family. Most houses in this part of town look similar to this one. It is very easy to see the differences, not only in size but appearance too, between this house and the previous one.
