"People Like Us"

Viewing the film, "People Like Us", shows you exactly how people in society categorize you. You have to fit in a certain class to fit in with particular people. For example, a lady in the film said she would never drive a Ford. If I wanted to be her friend, more than likely she wouldnt want to socialize me. Or if I was driving and came to a stop light next to her, she would probaly say to her self, Im low class. The film also shows how the world is divided and makes you wonder what  class you belong to or what the person next to you think of you. People in society always want to be on top or fit in. As for myself, I use to believe I was better than others because I went to a private school and being that it was my mother only paying for me to attend this private school, along with my brother. This also made me feel high class and think my mother had money. When people compliment my house and say I live in the suburbs, I would get this type of feeling of accomplishment. I made it appear as though I "got it like that". When new sneakers come out or whatever the new trend is, came out, I always made sure I was going to get it. Watching the film makes me feel like the people criticizing other people and thinking they are better than others make me feel like they are snobs and are to caught up in their social class. Being in this sociology class open my eyes up to realize I use to be one of those snobs. I wouldnt try to be better than anyone or think im better because what I have that the next person doesnt. I really enjoyed this film because it shows the different opinions of people who are in different classes and you can "Try" and get an understanding of why the "snobby" high class people act the way they do.
