There are various social classes, which are very uncertain one belongs. People may fall in
upper levels, middle while others in low courses. The complexity of social classes, poverty, and
discrimination are elaborated in different perspectives in play roles. Society judging people or
being in favor of certain people due to specific categories is referred to as classism, which brings
about social class. The school one went job status family and the money we own to ourselves,
like race, age, and gender. Society has set standards for different classes. I am born in a simple
family, which I would classify as a middle-class Parents determine the category a person belongs
to. I closely examined social class under theories of social class discrimination, inequality, and
poverty and Ted clip.
On reflection of social class theories, I found that inequalities have grown (Kraus, 2017).
Discrimination both due to poverty for some groups in a given social class. I came to release
there are class bias and also class prejudice that play a huge role. I focused on conflicts and
violence theory, the condition of work had improved; the theory states that strained relations
between workers and employees still exist. There is capitalism whereby the workers remain low
and the employer richer. Conflicts and violence bring awareness to how people are unequal, and
society is having a lot of members perishing in poverty by Karl Marx. Marx argued the recession
was brought about by taking advantage of workers, which is discrimination and capitalism's
greed. In social stratification, symbolic interaction on how social stands affects people in their
daily lives while interacting. I also watched a movie on the hidden reason for poverty that is
violence by TED. The lawyer addresses compassion to succeed in poverty level and global
poverty, and he describes how poor people are discriminated against by those in power.
After comparing two theories on stratification and the Ted movie, I analyzed that social
class positively affects the middle class and the lower level. I found it insightful how Ted

showed the lower class's reflection as opposed to the upper class, the expression of how upper
people are accustomed to seeing the poor unhappy and struggling. I discovered most people want
themselves to be seen living well and comfortable, as portrayed clearly in social stratification
theories. I firmly believe that social class should not have such a massive role in our society.
Upper people should not only support themselves to be advantaged while poor people are
disadvantaged. I was positively affected by how poor people don't have the rights, thus being
manipulated; they live outside the law by Ted. There is a need for the upper class to have the
compassion to succeed lower class people through law enforcement to avoid gender, age,
ethnicity, schooling, and race discriminations in our society due to classes.
Discrimination is often directed against the poor due to lack of power, age, gender,
minority status, ethnicity, and schooling. Racism has led to poverty, thereby isolating some
people (Atrey, 2018). I found the interconnection and relations that one cannot travel by air
below the poverty line in a developed country. A child from a poor background may not go to
school and low education level due to poverty. Therefore the interaction between poverty and
discrimination, sex, race, age, and schooling. Women and black people may not promotion in
some countries due to sex, race, and age. I have noticed that ethnicity and race continue to be an
identity that individuals use in today’s lives, like in the US; they are even celebrated holidays.
According to several studies, racism associates widely with age, sex, and aspects of social
classes. I also realized racism might manifest as social, economic disadvantage, institution
discrimination, and interpersonal violence. I discovered that race, gender, class, and sexual and
ethnicity intersect simultaneously, directionality and multiplicatively.
