Class Assumptions

In American communities class is often looked down towards. Many people to not feel comfortable when talking about social standpoints especially when those conversations are directed and related to wealth and class. After polling my parents about where we stand social-economically they had polar opposite feelings. When asking my father about where we stand, he said the poor one. I assumed that was a joke because of our obvious surroundings. Then he later replied by saying that we were fine.  Maybe he assumed i was asking these questions because i was worried about that. 

This relates to how Americans are curious about everyone else's situations financially. I believe that people judge other people based on classes. I mean this is obvious considering our surrounding environment. When people go to poorer areas to talk with the people their it is called community service. Granted most of community service is a great service and i highly endorse it. Some people think they they are better and because they are wealthier they are more knowledgeable.
