Look at the four “myths” in the Mantsios article, pp. 379-80:
- “We are a middle class nation…”
- “Class doesn’t really matter in the United States…”
- “We live in a land of upward mobility…”
- “Everyone has an equal chance to succeed…”
(Be sure to look at the book, as they are explained in more detail there.)
Pick one of these “myths.”
Using specific evidence from the Mantsios article as well as the Aja et al. article, explain why the reality of class in America is more complicated than the myth would have you believe.
