Discussion 1: Social Class & Discussion 2: Social Construction

This assignment is for two discussion board posts. I’ve named both in the topic section, and need to be kept separate. I’ll list the requirements below of each discussion, and link the online textbook with the login credentials and video you’ll need for discussion 1 in the MATERIALS files below. You WILL need the textbook to answer the prompts.

Discussion 1: Social Class
Social Class in the US
-How would you categorize the types of knowledge? How and where would someone acquire and learn this knowledge? How do you gain access to the people and places this can be learned? Is this access generally equal in the US?
You as a Social Being
-On which questionnaires did you have the most(surviving in the middle class) and least marks(surviving in the upper class)? Were you surprised by the outcome?(No, the middle class is the life I was born into) Do you have equal access to the people and places required to acquire knowledge you currently do not have?(No, the upper class lifestyle is not accessible to me).
Conclusions
-What conclusions can you make about the nature of the hidden knowledge necessary to be successful in each social class?

-I’ve answered the second set of questions since it required my input.

Discussion 2: Social Construction
After reviewing these resources on varied perspectives of social construction, consider the following questions:

-What is social construction?
-Which example from the resources provided did you find most compelling in building your knowledge of social construction? Describe it and explain why you found it most useful.

Each discussion needs to be 250 words, and answer each question asked of the discussion requirements. Again, I’ll link the login credentials to the textbook and other resources in the MATERIALS files below – they must be referenccixed in their respective posts.
