Discuss social class, inequality, and poverty

A rural society discussion based on two lecture.
Actually you do NOT need to cite any extra resources, just ignore that APA requirement.
Description
Along with the family and religion, inequality is one of three sociological universals. For most societies today, especially those that feature a strong market economy, that inequality is expressed as a stratification system known as “social class.” In U.S. society, there are five primary social classes – upper/capitalist, upper middle, lower middle, working, and working poor/lower class. Inevitably, social class systems of stratification, like the other two major kinds of stratification (i.e., slavery and estate/feudal), are expressions of various inequalities in a society.
PART ONE: using the sociological concepts introduced to explain social class (income/wealth [i.e., financial capital], occupational prestige, education, social capital and cultural capital), select any three of the five social classes and describe them as a sociologist would by using the above mentioned concepts. Be sure to define the concept or to demonstrate that you know what it means as you answer this question. Also, why did you select those three social classes, that is, justify your selection.
PART TWO: Sociologically speaking, what causes poverty in U.S. society? Be sure to link your answer to sociological concepts and sociological theories of poverty from the lectures.
A suggested length to your answer is between 400 to 800 words – for both parts. The word length is only a suggested minimum and suggested maximum. You may answer in fewer words than 400, but ask yourself if you have fully answered the question. You may answer in more words than 800 words, but ask yourself if you have too much verbiage (i.e., b___s___) that is not really relevant to the answer. In other words, regardless of the length of your answer, demonstrate that you listened and viewed the lectures and that your answer is connected to the content of this course.
You may apply personal examples (about you, your family, your community, your friends and your society), but you must be sure that you link these examples to the subject matter of the lectures in this course. Otherwise, the examples are extraneous and will lower your grade.

Connectedness-- The discussion post demonstrates an ability to cite/connect specific concepts, examples and content from the lectures when answering the discussion question;
Relevance-- The discussion post shows how the topics relate to either/or your life, current events, or the content, concepts and examples from the previous two weeks of lectures;
Thoughtfulness-- The discussion post exemplifies thoughtfulness, originality, and critical thinking. It is not merely a regurgitation or mimicking of the words in the lecture slides, but rather connecting the topic to course content and/or examples outside of class, using your sociological imagination; and
