Take a few minutes to look over the following image. In daily life, many of us have noticed an interaction like this at one time or another. There’s no question that we live in an unequal society when we observe such stark differences in wealth and status. Yet what explains such drastic disparities in people’s fortune? Why do some become wealthy while others endure such harsh poverty?

In U.S. culture, we hear a lot of “rags to riches” stories that celebrate individuals who start off poor and then become wealthy through hard work, intelligence, and sheer determination. In fact, polling by the PEW Charitable Trusts revealed that 40% of Americans consider it common for people in the United States to start poor and achieve wealth by working hard.

Sociologists consider such success stories as examples of what they call upward social mobility. But are such stories based in reality? Is social mobility achievable for anyone? Do all people who wind up wealthy or poor have only themselves to credit?

Read each of the following statements regarding issues of social mobility in the United States. Select whether you agree or disagree with each statement. You will receive one point for answering each question.

Statement 1

Although there used to be a great deal of racial discrimination in U.S. society, this no longer applies today. Knowing a person’s race or ethnicity doesn’t tell you much about whether that person is more or less likely to be economically successful.

Agree

Disagree

Statement 2

There’s no predicting who will wind up wealthy or poor in life. Some who get college degrees remain poor, while others who never graduate high school make a fortune off a great idea or by working really hard. In the end, educational credentials don’t really matter that much.

Agree

Disagree

Statement 3

There’s no predicting who will wind up wealthy or poor in life. Some people who are born rich lose everything through bad decisions or bad luck, while others who are born poor work their way up to the top. Knowing the level of wealth a person starts with in life tells you almost nothing about where that person will likely end up.

Agree

Disagree

Statement 4

Although there used to be a lot of discrimination against women in the United States, this no longer applies today. Knowing whether a person is male or female doesn’t tell you much about whether he or she is more or less likely to be economically successful.

Agree

Disagree

THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS ARE NOT CONTENT FROM THE BOOK BUT THOUGHTS FROM THE BOOK

Recently many publishers have responded to the need for books that are designed to help adults discuss a difficult topic, death, with young children, and/or teens. You are to select one book (many are on Amazon), written for teens, and evaluate it based on what we have learned thus far in class.

1) Does it fit the social-emotional and cognitive developmental level for adequate death comprehension that is required for the age group for which it was marketed?

2) Is it honest, or do you think that it further perpetuates the myths around teens and their grief process?

3) Explore a bit: You are a clinician, asked to work with a teen in that age group. Teenagers are notoriously difficult to reach in counseling session...often because they are forced to attend session by well-meaning adults. How would you, specifically, incorporate this book into a counseling session? Is there enough there to start a conversation? Did it leave too many things vague and unanswered? What kinds of questions do you think it would raise for the teen? How would you, based on what you now know, answer them?
