Form the reading cause of death:inequality by Alejandro Reuss to the film "people like us:Social class in America proves detail looks on how inequality is the top cause of death. Inequality effects the lower class of society while those who are educated and the wealth aren't truthly effected. This happens because of lower class not being educated about different diseases that can kill them. The article cause of death states that the different parts of the world's poor people, men and women alike, are more prone to infectious disease and disease of the circulatory system unlike those in the United States.Even if people are poor in the United States; these people are having better health than ordinary people in poor country. For instance, An African American female’s age at 15 in Harlem had a 65% chance of surviving to age 65; it’s the same as women in India. It depends on incomes, how much resources they have to live everyday life."Men with less than 12 years of education are more than twice as likely to die of chronic diseases (e.g., heart disease), more than three times as likely to die as a result of injury, and nearly twice as likely to die of communicable diseases, compared to those with 13 or more years of education.

The film "People like Us: Social Class in America goes hand and hand with this article because it gives an look at the different factors of social class. These social class are classified based on race and other factors, and Its produces social distinctions in our society.The film stated that America is a country divided by class, social distinction and is defined by where we live, what we eat, how we look, and education. Social class defined the inequalities in the class system. Theirs different factors that make up this social class that is present in chapter 9 like the working class is the middle class and their is structural mobility. That people who was at a lower class growing up may have became educated and has moved up in society. To me this articles define people in bad ways because of those who aren't educated may die before those who are in up class but yet theirs not looking at the Factera that make people get that lower class label. I believe as a society we all have to educated each other.
