Class and People Like Us....

Socio-folk,

Been an intense week of documentary evidence of class situations in the documentary, "People like Us" and some reflective thoughts from Ms. Ehrenreich and her own field research/experience. With your sociological knowledge and this week's activities please examine this quote from George Bernard Shaw:
"What a man is depends on his character; but what he does, and what
we think of what he does, depends on his circumstances. The characteristics that
ruin a man in one class made him eminent in another."

Please spend some time blogging this weekend (POST PRIOR TO SUNDAY NIGHT AT 9PM), while blogging please respond to the following; what is your interpretation of this quote? What does Shaw mean? Cite an example of behavior that is considered a virtue in one class and a vice in another.
For example, compare the idea of an aggressive real estate developer with an
aggressive sanitation worker. Both are in business, but their qualities may be
judged differently.

Have a great weekend! Don't be surprised if we have a quiz on Ehrenreich's article on Monday!
