Armstrong - Daqwan Moore

One argument I can immediately point out and relate to class is the taking of different paths. We discussed in class one day how some people are more privileged to better paths than others. For example, the richer white kids from better areas with nicer names that work hard. Opposed to the broke black boy with the ghetto name from a terrible area. They both work their behinds off but that white kid gets a head start, and doesn't have to work as hard as the black boy with the same credentials for the same job. The more wealthy folks are the favored by society. What I really think the author means to take different paths is simply that different people are forced to take different paths, which can be based off the persons past experiences etc. The author mentioned three different classes. Those classes being the achiever, the striver, and socialite. The socialite class being the highest, which makes them the most privileged of the three. This puts these college kids at an advantage of making more money coming out of college than the less privileged because they're parents can afford to pay they're tuition for college. Rather than the less privileged kids who have to take out loans to make their way through college. Therefore, these privileged kids start out at an higher salary, because they owe nothing. The author points out to us that sometimes it's just the path we are given and have to live with it until society decides to justify this.
