Social Class Data Analysis

Josefina grew up in an upper middle class family.  One of the underlying themes of her answers was a desire to keep up with the Jones's, as well as keep up appearances socially.  I do not feel these values were the most prominent, as open communication and patriotism are also mentioned.  I do feel, however, that "keeping up" may be the most relevant issue with relation to social classism.  Being a part of the upper middle class community has its own expectations socially.  I believe a great deal of our classist mentalities stem from social pressures.  These pressures did not seem to have a negative impact on Josefina, as she states she is "thankful everyday for the little things and for every opportunity."
