You use the phrases "lower social classes" a lot. Now, I certainly understand various /economic/ classes, but I don't understand what you mean by social classes. What distinguishes these classes? And how many lower social classes are there? Are there "markers" of who is where? As a middle (economic) class person, I recognize certain hairstyles or purses as someone trying to display a certain status. I assume there must be something present that those in the know would be able to distinguish one social class from another?
Why do you include yourself in a lower social class? I could see lower economic class, yes, due to your work decisions. But you are well spoken and articulate (if overly dramatic . You have had what I would call typical middle class ambitions (going to school to improve your lot in life etc). Why do you brand yourself other than middle class?
This is genuine curiosity, not snarkiness, but I'm sure there will be others who jump on this thread who will be snarky.
