Imagine you were trying to assess a person’s social class. Answer the following four questions:
- Based solely on his or her appearance, what physical traits would you look for?
- If you were only able to see the person and ask him or her just one question, what question would you ask?
- Why would you ask that particular question?
- Are there any other observations that you could make from an individual’s appearance that can provide you with evidence of an individual’s social class?
