SOC 112 Module Four Worksheet Wealth Inequality in America 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. Although I was aware of the significant wealth gaps and disparities in America, I was unaware of how severe they were. 2. Did any of the information in the video surprise you? Why or why not? I was surprised by how stark and steep the slope was from poor to wealthy. I know over the past few years more and more people across the poor and middle class are struggling but I did not realize to the vast extent that it is. 3. Discuss how a person’s social class (also referred to as socioeconomic status) can affect his or her chances of success. If someone comes from a lower social class, they do not have off the bat the same opportunity and financial support to be successful. Beyond that individuals in lower classes do not have the same quality of life and have more stress. “It is critical to understand that poverty is not a single factor; it includes characteristics of physical, biological, and psychological stressors” (Mishra, 2022). Individuals in lower classes are consumed with working more, struggling to pay bills, not sleeping well, not taking care of themselves, and typically have little to no support.
