seeing 1 and 2

He defines working class as people who get payed per hour. its members can be portrayed by tv characters and all the mainstream obvious jobs we think of when we think of jobs. nurses, mechanics, store workers. homer simson , sitcom guys they all fall under that category. the virtues are that we are popularized in american culture and work hard to get what we deserve. the vices are being looked down upon by everybody with a salary and a stable life. he says its the way were taught to think because everybody needs to get put in a class or box that seperates groups them together with everybody else like them. 

2.  the working  class is included in his essay. his essay is targeted more towards working class white people in my opinion.  The paragraph where he talks about nascar and country music would affect the whole essay like crazy if it were changed to target another audience for example if they put something in there to appeal to black working classfamilies where the author states is generaly looked down as poor in this country the point the author was trying to make wouldnt be completely cemented.
