Socioeconomic Status
Socioeconomic Status
“Diversity”
Socioeconomic status and social class are two terms often used interchangeably to indicate social distinction among individuals. The American Psychological Association (APA) (2007) describes socioeconomic status is an intersecting measurement of education, occupation, and income, which determines the social standing or class of an individual or group. Specifically, various formulae that are comprised of different combinations of these factors determine an individual’s socioeconomic status.
It used to be said that “what makes us different makes us special, unique.” Who wants to be just like everyone else? The answer is…Me even in this day and age no one wants to be discriminated for being different and that’s why diversity is ultimately a good thing we need people of different economic status we need the rich we need the poor just as much as we need men and woman and the old and the young everyone brings something to the table. Socioeconomic status is a fundamental determinant of human functioning across the lifespan, including: development, well-being, and physical and mental health. However, these social distinctions are both complex and dynamic. That is, not only can individuals move up or down the social ladder, but the definitions of, and relations among social classes change over time. The fact that your economic status can change means you do have some control over your life, that’s what’s great about it, you can’t control age of gender even ethnicity but you can over time change your socioeconomic status.
With that said maybe you don’t need a change maybe your happy right where you are and there is nothing wrong with that diversity is a wonderful thing something’s may not be fair or even make since to us at times but the old man that sits next to you on the bus that talks your ear off or the woman/man that got promoted when you thought you should have even the people you find yourself communicating with that don’t
