I don't know how we should treat the class issue, but there definitely is a class system. The fact is the dwindling middle class and larger disparity between the rich and poor is a problem for the economy and are people. I'm not saying everyone should be equal, but I don't think the income differential between the rich and poor should be as high, and we as a society should attempt to fix it.

I just think that if there were more woman in power positions like congress, or fortune 500 companies had more woman held positions than this would be less of an issue. However, it just seems almost inevitable that men are more likely to hold these positions because of how our society is like. I think if we just see woman as just as capable as men then this will be less of an issue.

What I'm trying to say is I don't think men and woman are equal, I just think woman should get equal consideration as men do in the workplace and in schools.

I think the major goal in the class system is to lessen the difference between the rich and poor and add to our middle class. On the other hand, I still think that people that have worked hard should reap their benefits. I just feel that our economy works better when everyone has some money, but I don't think everyone should have exactly the same. If everyone has exactly the same it is basically communism an din the end communism works well in theory, but it is nearly impossible for it to work well

I feel like Woman can have just has high paying job it all just depends on how you receive that equality. If we perceive a woman interviewing for a job the same we see a man then this would not be an issue. However living in the society that we live in this is not always a possibility. That is why you see woman earning 78 cents on the dollar of what men earn. I don't think it is possible to eliminate this prejudice in our society, but we can certainly try. It all just starts with our society and if everyone sees woman as equals than is likely that employers will pay woman higher wages and higher them more.

I agree that the laws are vague and that is certainly one way that woman could be achieving higher equality.

I agree, I think its harder now then it used to be poor and then climb the ladder to high paying jobs.

Even though the United States government has done tons of effort and legislation there is still a noticeable class difference. I feel there is certainly an upper class and a lower class, and a diminishing middle class. In my opinion the middle class is key to distributing wealth more.when you do not When there is a huge disparity between the rich and poor it leads to economic issues. For example it was a major contributor to the Great Depression. All in all, I feel that there is still work to be done to make the margin not as large.

I think Woman have come a long way in terms of equality since the passing of the 19th amendment in 1920, but woman in the workforce especially are still treated unfair.

Today there is a record of 98 woman out of 535 people in congress. This is still a large difference in the amount of woman but the numbers are still on the rise. During world War I there was only a single woman in congress. This shows how far woman have come, but there is still a long way to go.

Another reason woman have improved is the professional sports leagues that now exist and title IX. For example the WNBA isn't even close to the popularity of the NBA , but the discrepancy isn't that overwhelmingly high. I think its just the biased that exist in sports fans that they would rather see a man rather than a woman play.

Overall, woman have come a long way, but they are far from equal.
