People Like Us

"People Like Us" is an interesting documentary about those who judge others by class. The video gives an example why and how others do their judgement based on income, race, education, location, and so on. Class conflict shows individuals how powerful and influencial those of higher class can be opposed to those that are lower.

I believe a greater class is influenced by the higher class because they show more power with the money they hold. With the majority of society attempting to be "classy" they must appear to be in a higher class or try to change your class all together to show society that they are higher than they appear. For example, in the video the women show that they must appear to be high class by how they dress, talk, gesture, etc. and with this, they appeared to show the rich people, in the party that they had attended, that they can appear as rich as they are. Appeance and presentation is key to class conflict.
