In this class, we will study not only the ways class, status, and power are created and maintained, but also the consequences of inequality.Class, status, and power affect all of our relationships: at the personal level, the group and organization level, the community level, the national level, and the world system level.
CLASS is defined by some as ones economic position in society rich, middle income, working class, or poor; others include education and occupation in their definition of class.  STATUS refers to variations in life style, prestige, and honor:  how much respect a person or group receives from others.  POWER is the ability to get one's way in life, even against opposition.

This is a hybrid class -- some class time will be replace by discussions/presentations on the web site and library projects.
