Is it important in defining class? My family had money, but education wasn’t regarded as important; my dad had made his money, sometimes selling door to door. I don’t think our family had cultural wealth, maybe some social wealth, so in this respect We were maybe middle class. I’m not sure there is mobility in the class system, I certainly didn’t feel middle class at the time.]]> 2020-10-29 09:43:26 UTC https://padlet.com/awithers12/3i2p0l1pq6qqckii/wish/872536772 https://padlet.com/awithers12/3i2p0l1pq6qqckii/wish/872537119 As a child I saw and was aware of class divide.

It gives self confidence and sets limits to where you will end up.

For instance getting into university, if you have parents/family/friends to support you metally, financially and give you advice from their experience that makes the process much easier. compared to those from a lower class who may not have the support or know anyone who has been to university or have fincial support, the process may be much more difficult and take more effort from their own behalf. ]]> 2021-01-11 10:24:09 UTC https://padlet.com/awithers12/3i2p0l1pq6qqckii/wish/1073363091 https://padlet.com/awithers12/3i2p0l1pq6qqckii/wish/1073363272 2021-01-11 10:24:16 UTC https://padlet.com/awithers12/3i2p0l1pq6qqckii/wish/1073363272 https://padlet.com/awithers12/3i2p0l1pq6qqckii/wish/1073363376 I think class is important. It definitely has an impact on how we see the world around us. In my experience, people from different classes often don't understand issues associated with being from a working class family and / or having a lower income, and there are definitely problems that are more prominent within different classes, especially with how class effects our access to different things.

I think one major example of this is access to long term mental health support. Things like long term counselling are very rarely done through the NHS, whereas if a person can afford private care, it becomes significantly easier to have therapy or counselling on a long term basis, rather than having to wait potentially years to have a 6 week session.]]> 2021-01-11 10:24:20 UTC https://padlet.com/awithers12/3i2p0l1pq6qqckii/wish/1073363376 https://padlet.com/awithers12/3i2p0l1pq6qqckii/wish/1073363474 To me class does not effect my life.

I've witnessed the impact of social class first hand in my own experiences and those around me, and although I see myself as lucky to have reached university, many of the people I grew up with/family/friends didn't have this opportunity.
