Chapter 2 has really made me think about society. We live in the twenty-first century during this technological revolution. Our generation seems to be more progressive and with the aid of the internet and sites like this, we have become more outspoken about our beliefs. Why is that we still have to fall into the social stratification classification system? I feel that people have become more tolerant of and accepting of "minority groups". The fact that we still have the urge to stick labels on people is pretty ridiculous. It really shouldn't matter anymore. We've come along way from enslaving Africans to having the first black president. I feel that this may be a catalyst to push toward ending racial tension and hierarchy. The idea that the Dominant group dictates what is hip in society is lame. Individuality is a good place to start if we want to break the trend.
