The affects of classism

Classism has many affects on society. One of the affects is that it places a sense of superiority in the upper classes, and a sense of inferiority in the lower classes.  Another affect of classism is that it divides people. It puts people in a section of being rich and poor. Most rich people do not live in the same neighborhoods as poor people, or shop in the same areas as poor people, it separates us as a society. Classism also makes people angry and bitter at America's economic system, people believe that it is unfair and sometimes do extreme things they believe are justifiable, because of the inequalities they have been dealt with. In Coping with Everyday  Classism: Experiences of Low-income People in a Southeastern Rural Community, it shows how low income people cope with everyday classism.
