INSTRUCTIONS:
Part 1 (Answer part one separately from part 2) Drawing on both the Desmond and Draut articles, how do the concepts "working homeless" and "working poor" help us better understand why and how people are poor? Choose one statistic/graph that you read in the Draut article that you didn’t know before. Explain it and describe why you found it interesting. Be sure to include the page number so we know what you will be discussing Part 2 (label part 2 response) In US society, social class is sometimes less obvious than race/ethnicity or gender as important social categories that deeply influence our life. In this Discussion Board, please describe an example of when you first became aware of social class (yours or someone else's). What were the circumstances? How can you connect this experience to something from the course materials for this week (readings, class notes, videos)?
