Chapter 5 Exersice 1

Julie Charlip refers to the views of another writer right off the bat in the passage. She refers to Marx and Engels when they said "Society as a whole is more and more splitting up into two great hostile camps, into two greater classes directly facing each other - the bourgeouisie and the proletariat." Then she goes into her own views by talking about how easy it would be if that were true. Now there are tons of different social classes, and that makes it even more difficult on people. Then she goes on to use her sociology professor's view about the working class. He stated that everybody is middle class, there can be many different situations that classify people as the same class. So Julie Charlip uses a combination of both her own words and views, and the views and opinions of other people in her passage about economical classes.
