What's up with Sociology?

The What's up with Sociology Blog is an opportunity for students to share their thoughts and feelings regarding sociological concepts and theories discussed in class. Each week, the instructor will present a thought-provoking question. The student, then, is expected to respond to this question. Remember: "Always the beautiful answer who asks a more beautiful question." ee cummings

Blog Post #7

Due: Wednesday, November 7th



Please answer the question below:

Question: After reading the selection “Making it by Faking It” by Robert Granfield (Reading 10, Life and Society, Henslin) please respond to the questions that follow. Previously in class we discussed how rules differ among social classes. What working class rules did these college students find as barriers during their experience at an elite law school? Do you feel that upward mobility could make one feel separate from their original class culture? Have you experienced class differences in your own life? How significant of a role do you feel class issues play in individual’s lives? How might you be sensitive to class differences in your role as a professional?
