SOC 112 Module Four Worksheet Wealth Inequality in America Watch the video Wealth Inequality in America (the captioned video is available at Wealth Inequality in America CC ). Then read the article “Income Inequality in America: Understanding Wealth Inequality, Its Causes, and Solutions” (in Module Four Resources). Finally, answer the following questions in complete sentences (1–3 sentences per question). You will need to support your answers with at least one scholarly source. Your responses will be graded using the Module Four Worksheet Rubric. To complete this worksheet, replace the bracketed text with the relevant information. Questions Your Answers 1. Describe your initial reaction to the concepts in this video. My initial response to this video was at the start that sounds about right, but by the end I was completely floored by what I heard. When you think about it you come to understand this is the truth about the world. 2. Did any of the information in the video surprise you? Why or why not? I was surprised by what the actual distribution of wealth was across the nation, due to the vast misunderstanding I had about the distribution of wealth. 3. Discuss how a person’s social class (also referred to as socioeconomic status) can affect his or her chances of success. When it comes down to one’s social class, depending on where you are, your path to success can already be marked in stone. For example, the phrase born with a silver spoon in your mouth referencing to the fact that the rich stay rich and keep getting richer.
