Connections

The past discussions we have had in class about levels in society have significantly related to my Junior Theme topic about sprawl. It might not seem like they relate but the do more than you would think. Much of sprawl is created in order to separate upper from middle from lower class. 

Americans feel more comfortable with their "own kind" some one in the middle class might feel out of place with say some one in the extreme upper class. The same goes for some one in the extreme upper class feeling uncomfortable with some one in the middle class. Because of this trend developers are now creating divisions or differently priced real-estate to accommodate these feelings.  

In Duanys Suburban Nation he created an image of a sign that showed moderate homes to the left, middle upper-class homes to the right and the largest sign was for the upper class to the north. This just further displays the separation.
