Social class

i've watch the video on people like us and chose the article "Cause of Death:inequality". I learned a lot reading the article but not that much watching the video.In some way i believe that the video and the article kind of relate to each other because both of them talked about social class. First i will talk about the article "cause of death:inequality".this article gives us different topics on inequality.The article makes a good point on how inequality is the cause of death on minority of people.Most of those people are poor people. Poor people doesn't have the same amount of opportunities that rich or wealthy people have.There are stages of inequalities that we have witch is poor and rich,women and men and lastly black and white. It is said that white people has more chance to succeed then black people,men has more rights then women and poor people has less opportunitie then the wealthy.Why? But in the article it talks about the cause of death how poor people has more chance of dying then the rich because the poor can't really afford certain healthy goods and other things.Some diseases tend to strike poor people then rich people because of unequal opportunities.Also sometimes poor people are not able to see a doctor as a high income,and sometimes they don't have the money and insurance to get treated.It is written in the article that African American as higher change of getting high blood pressure and that it's more stressful then any situation when they are confronted with racism.This article is to inform us on how unequal that the poor,the rich,African American, white,women and men are unequal. It took me a while to get a good understanding of "The People Like Us video.In my own point of view I believe that this video is about someone or families status because they mostly talked about the rich and how some people were born in it and that it flows on their generation.They showed different families and their status.One way I can relate this video to the article is that sometimes certain people doesn't work their way up to richness,they were born in it.Because of that they have more opportunities then people that didn't.For example,poor people. Poor people or we can say working people will always have less opportunities then the wealthy and also be unequal. I can also relate the article to what Geoffrey Canada was saying in the TED Talk show.He mention that poor students lose ground in summer times then richer students.when they come back after the summer break their level of intelligent in class decreases.There are different ways that shows that poor people inequality.
