How would your life translate into a television sitcom? There would be a set for your living room and kitchen, another set for your workplace, and probably a third locale where you and your friends would spend their leisure time. What seem like simple choices, such as which appliances to put on the counters, what the sofa should look like, and the style of the lamps, suddenly have greater significance. These are all visual cues that tell the viewer about your social class. What’s more, they may signal which social classes are desirable to consumers, which, in turn, will affect what advertisers buy commercials during your show. Now your toaster may not seem so utilitarian, and maybe you’d like to trade up.
In this Application, you will identify your social class, explore your social mobility, and examine how popular culture influences both.
