Post #3

1) We've talked a lot about social and economic class. What does this mean to you on a personal level: how would you describe your class background, or your class as you were growing up? Rich? Poor? Working class? Middle class? What does the term you chose mean to you? How did the adults around you feel about class? Do you think there is such a thing as "working class" or "middle class" values? Have your values and/or political beliefs been shaped by class?

Personally i believe just like race, social and economic class was created so that people can discriminate against one another. Since my mother was a single mother raising 3 kids on her own i cant say we had alot of money but my mother did make enough money so that we had a hot meal every night and a decent house to live in. To me because i seen people live in worse conditions than we did and have less money than us, i always consider my family to be in the middle class which just means we aren't rich nor were we poor. Of course everyone always wants more. so although my fam was happy with the money they made they always wish they were rich. No i don't think that there is a such thing as working or middle class values i just believe that everyone has and sets there own personal values.

Just Gotta Make It

Song : Just Gotta Make It
Artist: Trey Songz
http://www.lyricstop.com/g/gottamakeit-treysongzftwista.html

Over all this song is saying he tired to work and regular 9-5 job and it jus isnt for him. The image hes portraying is that even though times are hard and he cant really make ends meet he wants his girlfriend to stand by his side because one say he says "Now, baby one day soon you gonna walk outside and see a Mercedes And I'm gonna give ya the keys and tell ya "go shopping" Then I can get us out the hood and have us living good"

I can relate to this song because no matter how hard i try i dont like working a regular 9-5 at all. it annoys me and i end up quiting not long after starting. Regular jobs aren't for everybody and after having a couple of different jobs i can clearly see that it isnt for me. I just hope when i start my career as a nurse it wont have the same effect on me as the regular jobs did.


...just gotta wait n see i guess....
