Good morning. It's me, Terry Brooks again. And today's presentation is about different so-called classes when it comes to discrimination. Many sociologists have described a lot of different classes, and they all usually fall under three known classes. These three classes are the upper class and the middle class and the lower class. The upper class is usually known as being the most wealthy, and because of their living conditions are probably the most healthy. Born in a wealthy family and neighborhood, they usually receive a better education, which can usually lead them to a better occupation. Most of the wealthy don't work long because once they've gained their wealth, they don't have to work anymore, so they just live off of their wealth. Then there's the middle class who are not quite as high. They're referred to as the working class who make enough to get by. Most of them have access to a decent education, which can then lead them to a decent occupation. And the middle class person usually has enough of what they need and survives, and usually winds up working for most of their lives. Most people of the said lower class were probably born poor and can easily wind up being even poorer than before. Being brought up in a poor neighborhood, they don't receive such a good education, which does not help their chances of receiving a good occupation. Lower class property is usually inherited from generation to generation, which is why it may have such a long duration. Sometimes it's the upper class that practices discrimination, while it's the lower class who are victims of discrimination. I would like to thank you all for listening to me today, and I look forward to coming back because I'll still have more to say. Thank you. Thank you. Edith Guadarama.
