My husband and I live comfortably he is Active Duty Army and I work in an office setting getting paid decent money. We are able to buy things we want and not only things we need. When it comes to outings and restaurants we usually pick something the average person would choose; Olive Garden, Chilis, Apple Bee’s, a restaurant in that nature. Nothing extraordinary nor fancy. We go out to a nicer dinner on special occasions but it is not an every weekend thing, because we simply cannot afford dinner that cost $60+ per person on a regular basis. I have decided to observe people in the upper class at an expensive restaurant, my paper will cover observations that I have made, what I have learned, and how my experience has helped me feel more comfortable, and socially conscious.

What did you observe? Upon entry, I spoke with the receptionist and explained reason for being in the office. I told him that my Diversity in Communication assignment required that I observe the people and environment of a public business. I asked if it would be okay to hang out for awhile and people watch. He said sure, he actually thought it was amusing. My first observation of the place was that the majority of the applicants in the office were Caucasian women. Had it not been an employment office, you would not have know that they were there to seek employment because they were not dressed to professional, not as one would dress when applying for employment. They wore jeans and t-shirts with tennis shoes or sandals. Why was this situation out of your comfort zone? Initially, I believed that there would be lots of lower-class citizens waiting around for assistance...

Social class refers to one’s status in society and is usually determined by a variety of social and economic factors such as net worth, position of power, job title and dwelling. (Bucher, 2010). Other superficial factor that comes into play in social class distinction includes type of outfit, hairstyle, car, makeup, jewelry and mannerisms. The purpose of this paper is to observe a different social class outside of my normal environment and develop a personal action plan based on my observation to share with class while integrating my new found knowledge to improving cultural awareness and diversity skills. Observation I place myself in the middle class category based on my profession, net income, and decent home in the suburban area. Because of my middle class status, I chose to observe people I believe to be in the upper socio-economic class. I chose the Lenox mall located at Buckhead- Atlanta GA which has been frequented by the superstars and Millionaires. I took advantage of the weekend shopping for father's day to visit the mall and chose the high end store called Louis Vuitton (LV), a luxurious brand name store that sells variety of leather...

I haven’t yet seen a parent get a gift from the teacher or principle or any type of schooling system for teaching their child to be a good kid. I know for a fact that Locke would have addressed this situation the same I would of. He would of demand to get those gifts and give it to the less fortune in the city to the one who does need the extra help. And doing so this action can help the city come together. By this Locke would have started war with the city for no respect. Locke believe in our natural rights meaning that he believe in commonwealth and by that it was to enjoy our personal rights, and honored the right of each other living together as commonwealth.
