What would you say to the nurse who told Mrs. L, “I am sure that delaying your lunch until we get you settled won’t hurt you a bit?” How can the nurse who made these statements improve her biases: “Isn’t it sad that all she can seem to focus on is her lunch? She needs to be on a strict diet.”

In 250+ words, share any of your general reflections on the topic of “cultures of class”. You may want to focus on one of the following:
•How would you compare “elite” culture vs. “working class” culture? Are they necessarily that different? Why do you think certain things are typed “elite” or not?
•What are your thoughts on “helicopter parenting” and the issue of class reproduction in childhood?
•What are your own experiences of class as they relate to cultural capital or social capital?
•What are your thoughts on the new elite (the “BoBos”)? Is there a problem with putting so much emphasis on education and “social consciousness,” or are these good things?
